How to use makeup remover wipes properly: a lazy girl's guide to skincare

TYMUS makeup remover wipes have become a great skincare helper for many lazy girls because of their convenience. Unlike traditional makeup removers, makeup remover wipes do not require lathering and rinsing, and can remove makeup, dirt and oil from the face with a simple wipe, making them especially suitable for those who are too lazy to carry out tedious skincare steps at the end of the day. However, to ensure healthy skin, it is vital to use makeup remover wipes correctly. Here are the detailed instructions and precautions for use:

Proper usage of makeup remover wipes Double cleansing method (recommended)

Makeup remover wipes are best used as the first step in removing makeup rather than the only cleansing step. Here's how the double cleanse method works:

Step 1: Remove makeup with makeup remover wipes

Take out a sheet of makeup remover wipes and gently wipe your face, focusing on removing eye makeup, foundation, lipstick and blush. Be gentle and avoid rubbing the skin too much, especially around the eyes and other sensitive areas.

Step 2: Cleanse thoroughly with a cleanser

Although makeup remover wipes can remove most of the makeup, they may not be able to completely remove dirt, oil and residue from the pores. Therefore, it is recommended to use a cleanser that suits your skin type for a second cleanse. Facial cleansers can help remove excess oil, pollutants and sweat while keeping the skin hydrated.

Choosing the right makeup remover wipes

There are many different types of makeup remover wipes available on the market, and it is recommended to choose products with mild ingredients and no harsh chemicals (e.g. phthalates, parabens, fragrances, etc.). For sensitive or dry skin, choose wipes with moisturizing ingredients (e.g. glycerin, aloe vera, etc.) to minimize skin irritation.

Potential risks of using only makeup remover wipes

While makeup remover wipes are convenient, relying on wipes alone without a secondary cleansing may have the following negative effects on the skin:

Dry skin

Many makeup remover wipes contain alcohol or other cleansing ingredients that may strip the skin of its natural moisturizing factors, leading to damage to the skin's barrier and problems such as dryness and tightness.

Acne and pimples

If makeup remover wipes fail to thoroughly remove makeup and dirt, residual oils and cosmetics may clog pores, triggering acne and pimples.

Skin irritation

The chemical ingredients (e.g. fragrances, preservatives, etc.) in some makeup remover wipes may irritate the skin, especially for people with sensitive skin, which is prone to redness, swelling, itching and other discomforts.

Expert Advice

Dermatologists generally recommend makeup remover wipes as an aid rather than the only means of cleansing. For example, Dr. Jhin notes, “Using the right cleanser can effectively remove makeup, dirt, and oil while cleansing the pores without stripping the skin of moisture.” She recommends using a gentle and highly effective cleanser, such as a facial cleanser, to ensure that your skin stays hydrated while it cleanses.

If you're a loyal user of makeup remover wipes, choose products with natural, non-irritating ingredients and make sure to thoroughly cleanse your skin after use. This way you can enjoy the convenience of makeup remover wipes and avoid skin problems at the same time.
