I\u2019ve tended to look over the fact that they sometimes irritated the sensitive skin around my eyes, or left my cheeks unnaturally dry.\n\nNot to mention, the amount of pressure alone that\u2019s required to scrub off a smoky eye is always enough to leave my face downright <em>raw. <\/em>\n\nIf I\u2019m being honest, makeup removers often leave my skin feeling straight-up <em>gross<\/em>.

As it turns out, makeup removers aren\u2019t nearly as good for our skin as we think they are. That\u2019s not necessarily to say that EVERY makeup remover should be avoided. Rather, it may simply be time to be a little pickier about the product we choose \u2013 or perhaps switch to a natural alternative altogether.\n\nLet\u2019s take a look at some of the reasons why certain makeup removers are damaging to our skin, and the healthier options that are at our disposal![\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;Full Width Line&#8221; line_thickness=&#8221;1&#8243; divider_color=&#8221;accent-color&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;75&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;41499&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/are-makeup-removers-bad-for-your-skin\/#Makeup_Removers_Arent_Adequate_Cleaning_Products\" >Makeup Removers Aren\u2019t Adequate Cleaning Products<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/are-makeup-removers-bad-for-your-skin\/#Makeup_Removers_Can_Leave_Behind_Grime_on_Your_Skin\" >Makeup Removers Can Leave Behind Grime on Your Skin<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/are-makeup-removers-bad-for-your-skin\/#Makeup_Removers_Often_Contain_Worrisome_Ingredients\" >Makeup Removers Often Contain Worrisome Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/are-makeup-removers-bad-for-your-skin\/#There_are_Healthier_Alternatives\" >There are Healthier Alternatives!<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/www.qcmakeupacademy.com\/blog\/2020\/05\/are-makeup-removers-bad-for-your-skin\/#Proper_Skincare_Training_is_Important\" >Proper Skincare Training is Important<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_Removers_Arent_Adequate_Cleaning_Products\"><\/span>Makeup Removers Aren\u2019t Adequate Cleaning Products<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Plenty of makeup removers out there claim to be multipurpose skincare products; capable of cleaning off your makeup <em>and <\/em>cleaning your skin. Unfortunately, for most brands, only the first promise is actually kept.\n\nYes, makeup removers are good at doing exactly that: removing your makeup. But they do a lousy job of actually cleaning your skin itself.\n\nThis is in large part because makeup remover wipes have a tendency to smear makeup, dirt, and dead skin over the epidermis (the outer layer of your skin), rather than properly removing them from the skin\u2019s surface. For many of us, this is a big reason why our skin feels so irritated afterwards.\n\nIf we\u2019re thinking strictly in terms of what a proper <a href=\"\/2020\/04\/breaking-down-my-skincare-routine-video\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skincare routine<\/a> is supposed to do, this seems a bit counterproductive, doesn\u2019t it?[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_Removers_Can_Leave_Behind_Grime_on_Your_Skin\"><\/span>Makeup Removers Can Leave Behind Grime on Your Skin<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Here\u2019s the thing: it\u2019s true that makeup removers and actual cleansers share the same active ingredients: surfactants, emulsifiers, and solubilizers. These are the things that dissolve your makeup, lift oil, and remove dead skin.\n\nThe key difference is that when you use a cleanser, you rinse afterwards. This is crucial to actually <em>removing <\/em>these unwanted things from your skin. With makeup removers, on the other hand, a lot of us have a tendency to <a href=\"\/2019\/07\/worst-skincare-tips-ever\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">skip this critical step<\/a>.\n\nThis also adds to why your skin may feel uncomfortable in the aftermath. If you don\u2019t properly clean away all those active ingredients in the makeup remover, they\u2019re going to continue sitting on your skin, often in high concentrations.\n\nSo, should you wish to remain faithful to your makeup remover wipes, feel free to do so. But you might want to start thoroughly rinsing your face afterwards \u2013 otherwise, there\u2019s still an adequate layer of grime still lingering in your pores.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;41500&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Makeup_Removers_Often_Contain_Worrisome_Ingredients\"><\/span>Makeup Removers Often Contain Worrisome Ingredients<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]In order to increase shelf life, many makeup removers contain added \u2013 and unwanted \u2013 preservatives.

Still, even if we step back and look through a more realistic lens, there are other causes for concern.\n\nFor starters, many makeup removers contain alcohol, which is known to be particularly drying to skin.

There <em>are <\/em>ones out there that do their job without compromising your skin. If makeup removers are a staple in your skincare routine and you have no interest in changing that, maybe it\u2019s just a matter of switching things up a bit.\n\nFirst, try to ditch the makeup wipes altogether. Sure, you can have some on-hand in case of an emergency, but your skin will benefit from removing them from your regular routine. Instead, switch to a different type of makeup remover product, such as an oil or serum.\n\nThis part\u2019s important: aim for products that ONLY have <a href=\"\/2020\/03\/5-of-the-best-organic-skincare-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">natural ingredients!<\/a>\u00a0Choose unscented products, or ones whose fragrant component is made from natural resources.\n\nI was once told, \u201cIf an ingredient is so long and complicated that you can\u2019t pronounce it, it\u2019s probably an unwanted chemical.\u201d I try to keep this in mind when purchasing any beauty product.\n\nHere are 3 examples of brand-name makeup removers that are made from 100% organic ingredients:\n<ol>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedetoxmarket.com\/products\/pure-superfine-jojoba\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">MV Skincare Pure Jojoba Oil<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/dp\/B01E6T8M1O\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?slotNum=20&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=g12&amp;linkId=2051b3b424ac6052a58d984622cf70c1&amp;imprToken=UWBfeAvaiO6lIhgHS7RrUw&amp;tag=tumbliaca-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aromatica Natural Coconut Cleansing Oil<\/a><\/li>\n \t<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.ca\/dp\/B0725H2TTG\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?psc=1&amp;slotNum=21&amp;keywords=natural+organic+makeup+remover&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;sr=8-1-spons&amp;linkCode=g12&amp;linkId=da2d315ee5fc9cdc9020f08ab11b1063&amp;imprToken=UWBfeAvaiO6lIhgHS7RrUw&amp;tag=tumbliaca-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">La Foglia Lavendar Makeup Remover<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\nI\u2019ll let you in on a fun little secret, though: there are natural makeup removers that are <em>not <\/em>actual cosmetic products, but they work just as effectively AND will often cost you next to nothing!\n\nFor instance, did you know that sesame oil and coconut oil can both be used to effortlessly wipe away your eye makeup? It\u2019s true!
