Taking it off..

[Syraa]

I have to remove everything before I go to sleep. I use unfragranced baby wipes for sensitive skin, I find them to be much more gentle than facial wipes and they’re cheaper as well. Then I remove my eye makeup by soaking cotton pads in either olive oil or baby oil.

Erg, I do it quite often, even though I try not to.

I don’t like moistened cleansing wipes though, I feel they really dry out the skin.

Otherwise, I use Olive Oil to get the bulk of the eyemakeup off. Then I cleanse my face with an Olay cleansing facecloth (where you have to wet it with water, I find these quite mild) and use it to clean off all the black gunk around my eyes. The soap from the cloth plus the olive oil around my eyes work together to get it all off.

Afterwards, I spritz my face with tea tree water or rose water. I also spray a little onto a cosmetic pad to moisten it and then drop a drop of Olive Oil on top of this and use it to moisturise areas that get dry.

No spots and I wake up with soft, smooth skin.

So, do you not use a night cream at all? I’m thinking of working my night mousturiser out of my routine…I don’t think it does much and I like your idea of the rose water plus a drop of olive oil.
