Here are some ways to remove waterproof mascara without using a makeup remover:
-
Olive oil: In a pinch, olive oil can be used to remove makeup including waterproof mascara. Wash with gentle face soap afterwards to remove any residue.
-
Micellar water: Apply a quarter-sized amount of micellar water to a damp cotton pad and gently wipe away the mascara.
-
Oil-based eye makeup remover: Use an oil-based eye makeup remover to dissolve the mascara. Soak a cotton pad in the remover and hold it over your closed eye for 5-10 seconds, then gently wipe away the mascara.
-
Castor oil, coconut oil, or vitamin E oil: Apply a pea-sized amount of castor oil, coconut oil, or vitamin E oil to the lashes to keep them moisturized, healthy, and luscious.
-
Gentle cleanser: Use a gentle cleanser, like a deep dive cleansing gel, to softly wash your face (including the eye area) .
Its important to be gentle when removing waterproof mascara to avoid losing lashes or irritating the skin around the eyes.
