One of the golden rules our moms have taught us is to always remove one’s make-up before going to bed. In fact, most actresses and models swear that this (aside from drinking tons of water) is the secret to keeping their face looking healthy and flawless. Removing your make-up at night opens your pores and lets your skin breathe – clogged pores lead to acne.
If you’re in search of the perfect make-up remover, here’s a comprehensive list, no matter what your budget is:
Colorbar:
It is enriched with Vitamin E and Pro Vitamin B5, which protect skin cells from UV rays and pollution. The skin loving bi-phase formula also hydrates and soothes the skin while protecting it against harmful irritants. Available for ₹699 across stores nationwide.
L’Oréal
Looking for something that’s cooling and gentle at the same time? Look no further than L’Oréal Paris Gentle Eye Make-up Remover priced at ₹425.
Clinique:
With a name like Take the Day Off – it does exactly that. It dissolves and “lifts away” long-wearing makeup and mascara. What’s more, it is non-irritating and non-stinging. An added bonus is that it is Ophthalmologist tested, that means it is appropriate for lens wearers too! Priced at ₹1550.
