According to Amore Pacific Spa’s lead aesthetician Lisa Vela (also known as ‘the miracle worker’) not enough people take their makeup off at night, nor do they do it properly. “It’s essential to remove your makeup with makeup remover before cleansing, and to use a separate formula for your eyes,” says Lisa. “This will prevent clogged pores—read: pimples and breakouts—and ensure that you clean your face properly. If you’ve had a lot of heavy makeup on, I even recommend cleansing twice. For eyes, it’s very important to take all of your eye makeup off with a remover targeted for that area. Leftover mascara can lead to eye infections, discoloration, and puffy peepers in the morning. And don’t just swipe it on quickly. Place a cotton ball with remover over your lids, hold it for a minute to dissolve the product, then wipe away. Oils are particularly good for removing long-wearing eye makeup.”
