5 Makeup cleansers you need to try

A good makeup cleanser ensures great glowing skin, as sleeping with makeup is never the ideal option.

When wearing makeup, it is important to always use a clear base for your skin, as makeup usually absorbs into your skin, meaning that if your skin is dirty it is most likely to cause your pores to clog.

During your makeup routine, you should prep your face but also remember to have an ideal skincare routine to remove the makeup off your face.

According to beauty hub, Allure, makeup cleansers are effective as they work hand-in-hand with your face washes, adding that,  your daily skincare routine would usually consist of a face wash and moisturiser for clear glowing skin.

Try these highly recommended makeup cleansers provided by beauty hubs:

  1. Clinique Take the Day Off Cleansing Mousse: Allure states that this cleanser helps remove the longest-wearing makeup looks. It also contains hydrating properties that help moisturise your skin, leaving it feeling smoother and softer.
  2. Bioderma Sensibio H2O: Beauty experts advise people with sensitive, dry or acne-prone skin to use this cleanser as it works as a 3-in-1.
  3. Then I Met You Living Cleansing Balm: With the TikTok girlies hyping up Korean skincare products, as they give them glass-looking skin, this product will get the job done. Founder of Soko Glam, Charlotte Cho states that “Cleansing with an oil-based cleanser and following up with a water-based cleanser is called a double cleanse, and is a foundational part of an effective multi-step skincare routine.”
  4. La Roche-Posay Effaclar Micellar Cleansing Water: The Strategist says that this micellar water is designated for oily-prone skin. It’s lightweight and gentle on the skin without leaving it dry.
  5. Cetaphil Gentle Waterproof Makeup Remover: Union Square Laser Dermatology’s, Dr Y. Claire Chang, highly recommends this waterproof cleanser as it is good for sensitive skin and contains ingredients that won’t cause skin irritations.
