Get Clean!
I think we can all agree to having a love-hate relationship with evening makeup removal. While there's a definite laziness factor involved, washing away the buildup and remnants of the day can feel pretty satisfying.
That all said, a simple makeup wipe isn't always enough to get the job done (although they suffice on occasion when we're particularly burnt out). This is where cleansing oils come in. To make your PM (and AM) beauty routine as effective as possible and ensure you're truly stripping your face of all the makeup and dirt, starting off with an oil-based cleanser is key. These thicker more concentrated formulas have the ability to break down even the toughest makeup and aren't harsh on your skin. And, when followed with a solid foaming or water-based cleanser, your face can truly be the clean working space it needs to be for all the target treatments you apply for the night. Some have also found them to be nice alternatives to their go-to cleansers altogether, due their makeup-removing abilities and moisturizing properties.
