I didn't bring any makeup remover, what can I use instead?

For female friends, after putting on makeup, it is necessary to remove it. Because if cosmetics are on the face for a long time, it will affect the breathing of the skin. Generally, when removing makeup, everyone uses some makeup remover. But what should you do if you forget to bring makeup remover when you go out? In fact, some of our things can temporarily replace makeup remover and help us remove makeup. Let’s take a look below!

What is an alternative to makeup remover?

Alternative 1: Milk to cleanse the skin

We have all heard of using expired milk to wash the body. In fact, ordinary milk can also be used to wash the face, and it is not too wasteful. As long as you soak a cotton ball with milk and gently wipe your face, it can have the same cleansing effect as facial cleanser. In addition, you can use skim milk for oily skin and regular milk for dry skin.

Alternative 2: Olive Oil

Drop some olive oil on your palm, warm it up, and apply it all over your face. Be careful not to stay on for more than 30 seconds. Two swipes will do the job. Then gently wipe it off with a cotton pad or napkin. You will find that your makeup has been removed. You can see if there is any color on the cotton pad. If it is all yellow oil, it is clean. Then wash it off with a facial cleanser with strong cleaning power. The effect is definitely no worse than removing makeup oil, and it is not very troublesome. I can basically finish it in 2 or 3 minutes. And after washing your face it doesn't feel dry and feels very smooth.

Alternative 3: Non-makeup remover

Makeup can be removed by using non-makeup remover products such as lip balm, body lotion, or even a combination of ingredients such as nail polish, baby oil, and baby wipes. For immediate use, you can use baby oil or glycerin, as this will dissolve the makeup more easily. You can also squeeze lotion on a cotton pad and wipe off the makeup, which is equivalent to the effect of a makeup remover, and then use a cleansing product!

Alternative 4: Makeup remover cleanser

Facial cleansers can remove water-soluble dirt, but are not very effective in removing oily makeup. Although there are now facial cleansers with makeup removal function, you cannot rely solely on this type of facial cleanser to remove makeup. Some eye makeup and heavy makeup are still not effective. If you only use facial cleansers to remove makeup, it may not be removed thoroughly and may easily cause damage to the skin.
