These are the secrets of proper eye makeup removal

Waterproof mascara may be a gift to humanity, but it's also a nightmare to remove.

The wipes makeup remover is by no means enough for the job.

Soap irritates the eyes. And generally, whichever method you choose, involves excessive, annoying pulling of the delicate skin around your eyes.

So is removing your eye makeup giving you wrinkles?

Repeated, harsh rubbing, whether with your hand or a cotton ball, can not only break down your skin's barrier, but also cause small blood vessels to form and increase irritation.

The more you rub, the more the delicate skin around the eyes is stretched and the more the elastin structural proteins are broken down.

Always leave your cotton pad on for 30 seconds to gently break up the product, then wipe gently. Then, remove any residue with a cotton swab and follow up with a facial cleanser, such as a biphasic makeup remover.

After properly removing all your eye makeup, apply an eye cream. Eye cream is not going to remove deep wrinkles that are already there or dark marks or blue veins under the eyes. However, some eye creams can help rebuild the skin barrier.

So make sure you wash your face morning and night and your first step is eye cream.
