HOW TO REMOVE WATERPROOF MASCARA?

If you leave mascara on your eyelashes overnight, the fine hairs might break. But what is the best way to remove mascara as gently as possible?

Water-soluble mascara can gently be removed with micellar water. However, if you need to remove waterproof mascara, micellar cleansing wipes or special eye makeup removers are a good choice. They effortlessly and gently remove eye shadow, eyeliner and waterproof makeup from your skin and eyelashes.

Steps to Remove Waterproof Mascara

  • Soak pad with eye makeup remover or micellar water. Special eye makeup removers, such as NIVEA’s Daily Essentials Extra Gentle Eye Makeup Remover or Daily Essentials Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover, remove even waterproof mascara and soothe the sensitive eye area at the same time.
  • Apply with light pressure to your closed eyelid, allow to soak for a short time – the mascara will dissolve smoothly.
  • After a few seconds (count to 5), wipe the mascara carefully with a cotton pad downward or from the inside to the outside.
  • Repeat until the mascara is completely removed.
Be careful: When removing makeup from your eyes, it’s important to be as gentle as possible. Mechanical stress such as heavy rubbing or scrubbing can irritate the sensitive skin around the eyes, which may lead to redness and eye wrinkles.
