Makeup Removal: The 5 Most Common Mistakes

Makeup removal is one of the most essential steps in skincare. If makeup residue, dirt, and oil that accumulate throughout the day aren’t properly removed, they can clog pores, cause breakouts, and leave the skin looking dull. Unfortunately, many people either skip this step or make common mistakes that can harm their skin.

1. Sleeping with Makeup On

This is perhaps the most common mistake. Sleeping in makeup prevents the skin from renewing itself overnight and leads to clogged pores and irritation.

2. Relying on Just One Step

Using only micellar water or a single cleanser is often not enough. Follow up with a water-based cleanser to ensure complete removal. A two-step cleansing routine is essential for deeply purifying the skin.

3. Rubbing the Eye Area Harshly

The skin around the eyes is extremely delicate. Aggressive rubbing can damage this sensitive area. Instead, gently wipe makeup away using a cotton pad with a mild remover.

4. Using the Wrong Products

Heavy cleansers on oily skin or alcohol-based products on dry skin can disrupt the skin’s balance. Always choose natural, skin-type-appropriate products for gentle yet effective cleansing.

5. Skipping Moisturizer After Cleansing

Cleansing can strip the skin of its natural moisture. Failing to moisturize afterward can leave the skin dry and unprotected. Always follow up with a suitable moisturizer for your skin type.

Proper makeup removal requires care. Common mistakes can lead to long-term skin issues.
