Favorite Makeup Removers!

Hola Chicas! Go out and try Albolene Cleanser! According to the their website, Albolene is a "moisturizing cleanser liquefies on contact with skin to thoroughly dissolve makeup (particularly hard-to-remove waterproof mascara and lipstick), dirt and environmental grime." I apply the product with clean facial fingers, in upward strokes and remove with tissue. This product is great for hard to remove makeup and never over dries your skin. I recommend Albolene for dry to normal skin but not for the oily because it would make your skin more greasy. 

Neutrogena Oil Free Makeup Remover is my other favorite. It is gentle, fast acting, and great for makeup mistakes. It can be easily pour in a travel sized spray bottle. Just apply on a cotton pad and whisks eye makeup away. 

Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, which was about $8 plus tax, skin care, and make up can be found at Target, Walmart, and local neighborhood drug stores. I bought a 12 oz jar of Albolene at Walgreens for $15 plus tax and it can be also found at online retailers.

Whatever every product you use, whether it be cleanser, moisturizer, remover, or makeup, be aware of they ingredients used, your skin type, and allergies. Although these product work for me, they might not appropriate for you. And ALWAYS be gentle around the eye area. Please don't get product in your eye or tug or pull because it causes premature aging! 

My Skin Care Routine

My skin care routine is very simple. First I cleanse with Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser.  It is so gentle and great to use all year around. I tried the daily facial cleanser but it dried out my skin. For make up removal, I pump some product into my hand and spread it onto the forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin. Use your facial fingers, you middle and ring fingers, and massage upwards. Never downwards because this can cause wrinkles. Remove with clean, folded tissue. Then I cleanse once more, rinse with a warm water, and pat dry with a clean, dry face towel. Never used damp moist towels from the day before because it collects bacteria and mold.  

After cleansing, I like to use Neutrogena Alcohol Free Toner to close and tighten pores. Just apply a generous amount on a cotton pad and dab gently. If you do not have this, just simply splash cold water on your face. 

 

Finally, I mix Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream and Cetaphil Facial Moisturizer SPF 15 in handy travel size bottle. I find that by using the facial moisturizer by itself leaves my skin feeling greasy. When the products are mixed, the consistency is much softer and creamier. Apply a dime sized amount with your fingertips onto your face. For summer time, I switch to the Cetaphil lotion. 

All products dermatologist recommended, prices range from $6- $12 (depending what size you buy), and found at your local Target, Walmart, Costco, or your neighborhood drug store.
