Taking off your makeup is one skincare step you can’t afford to miss. While the hustle and bustle of Lagos can leave one tired, you don’t want to cancel all the good work you’ve done on your skin by letting makeup fester overnight!
Here are 3 simple ways to take off your makeup in no time while you continue your skincare routine.
METHOD 1: Oil Cleanse
The first time I read about oil cleansing, the alarm bells in my head went off: “What does that even mean?”. As girl with oily acne-prone skin, I tried to avoid slathering extra oil on my face until I researched a bit more and even tried it for myself. It’s no wonder why many makeup removers include oil. How is this method helpful?
- By lifting oil-based and waterproof formulas off your skin and lashes.
- By keeping the skin’s balance and locking in hydration.
Please note that some oils could cause irritation or an allergic reaction, so spot-test the oil on your face before diving in completely.
Recommended product- R&R Shea Oil.
METHOD 2: Micellar Water
If you’re not comfortable with the oil cleansing method, then Micellar water could be a perfect match for you. Micellar water is a multi-purpose skin tonic that can be used as a cleanser, toner, or make-up remover. Pretty cool if you ask me! It is recommended to use micellar water to remove makeup, then follow up with a cleanser.

METHOD 3: Vaseline on the lips
It’s so easy to ignore the lips when taking off your makeup. There are ways to remove lipstick, one of which is with a multipurpose classic product- Vaseline!
