Oily or hyper sensitive skin , small imperfections, waterproof makeup , pollution peak? Would you like to try these new make-up removers combined with the fun of applying an oil, but ... you do not know if they are right for you? Answers from specialists.
"Oil is fat, it sticks in. Can we really clean the skin with?"
There are two scenarios: or you are makeup, and all the makeup (makeup, lipstick, mascara) are formulated with oil; so their oil plus makeup remover oil is an ideal blend to dissolve makeup .
Either you are not made up and the emollients of the oil will take off dirt and dead cells. Your sebum has trapped dust. It oxidizes and the oil will dissolve it and eliminate it from your face.
The right make-up remover : heat a small amount of makeup-removing oil in the palm of your hand and on the dry face, massage delicately in circular motions. Emulsify with water then rinse and mist some mineral water if you want to feel even cooler.
The editorial choice : Cleansing oil, Extraordinary Oil, L'Oreal Paris: enriched with rose oils and passionflower, its texture leaves no greasy film, mascara and lipstick fade, the skin all clarified is ready to receive care. Cleansing Micellar Oil Sublimating Thermal Purity, Vichy: it combines the sweetness of micelles and the nutrition of camellia oil to refine skin texture and boost radiance .
"My skin is dry, is the make-up removal oil suitable?"
Oil is the best cleanser for dry skin . It works gently without stripping because it contains no surfactants or drying agents. Choose lipid formulas.
The right thing to do : put the product on a damp cotton pad and, in circular movements, sweep the oil, which will form a soft cushion on the skin and remove all makeup and pollutants. Repeat until the cotton is white and your skin is bright.
The choice of the writing : Shea Removal Oil with 5% Shea, L'Occitane, which thanks to its formula, leaves the face clean but also nourishes, softens and moisturizes the skin ideally. Topialyse Micellar Cleansing Oil, SVR, sulfate-free, enriched with lipids, rinses in the shower.
"My skin is oily, does not oil make-up make my case worse?"
Choose a formula that rinses: an oil that liquefies on contact with water and eliminates with it without leaving any residue because it contains some non-aggressive surfactants that will emulsify. So, the dirt will be flushed with the rinse water.
The right gesture : put a few drops in the palm of your hand and emulsify on the face with a cotton or better finger, gentle massage. We can rinse with a little water, or even more delicious with a damp cloth because it will turn into a milky veil in contact with water.
The editorial choice : Milky Cleansing Gel, L'Oréal Paris Extraordinary Oil. It melts on the skin to give an impression of freshness and cleanliness unheard. Hydra Eclat make-up removal oil, By Terry: its silky plant oils , anti-oxidant rose cells reveal the radiance of even the most dull skin. Silky Oil Cleansing Pure State: biomimetic it respects the natural balance of the skin and its non-comedogenic formula is perfect for oily skin.
"My skin is hyper reactive, will it support a cleansing oil?"
Read the labels well. Avoid any product that contains essential oils that can cause reactions on allergic skin . Do not choose those that are scented.
Opt for a formula rich in Omegas (3,6,9) and abstain from any foaming product that contains irritating surfactants. Draw in the range of products atopic or hypersensitive skin and you will (a priori) quiet.
The right gesture : sweetness above all things. Massage the product with fingertips (softer than cotton) on wet face. Rinse with a warm damp cloth and spray with desensitizing Thermal Water.
The choice of writing: Absolute Comfort Oil, Almond, Weleda: a smart formula, without perfume. It cleans gently while rebalancing the natural protective functions of the skin with its organic almond oil. Nuxe Micellar Cleansing Oil: with its rose petals and anti limestone micelles for absolute comfort and safety. Cleansing Care Oil, Caudalie: tested hypoallergenic, it contains extracts of grape seeds and revitalizing soothing sweet almonds.
"I like the feeling of oil cleaning but I do not like the oily texture on my skin"
This is not a reason for you to pass the sweetness and efficiency of an oil. There are jelly oil formulas, two-phase, to use even in the shower and that do not give a greasy feeling.
Take a texture that does not foam but emulsifies with water and gives you an impression of unparalleled freshness without leaving any greasy film.
The right gesture : wet a cotton pad or your hands, massage a few drops of the product on your wet skin, rub gently to remove impurities and rinse with plenty of water.
The Editor's Choice : Perfect Cleansing Oil, Shiseido. It is inspired by traditional Japanese formulas and mixes an aqueous texture with an extra fine oil. It eliminates illico under the shower to leave a feeling of comfort and exquisite cleanliness. Tonic Express make-up remover, Clarins: its bi-phase formula based on orange sap gives no impression of fat, but leaves skin smooth, detoxified and toned. Shu Uemura Oléo Moist Cleansing Oil Gel: Its high-tech formula has been designed to create a moisturizing gel that holds water all day on the epidermis.
"I make up with waterproof make-up, can the oil be done?"
This is the best makeup remover for you: pigments and waxes will dissolve in seconds! The ideal is to choose a bi-phased makeup remover. There are some for the eyes, but today also for the whole face. Otherwise choose a classic formula but that guarantees a make-up removing of the eyes without risk of irritation.
The right gesture : for bi-phased, soak a dry cotton with makeup remover after shaking the bottle to mix the two phases, one oily the other aqueous. Leave for 15 seconds and gently sweep the face. Repeat until the cotton is clean. You can spray a little thermal water to finish. For a water-soluble formula, apply in circular motions and light smoothing to remove impurities. First wipe the eyes with a barely damp cotton, then the rest of the face with a damp towel or cotton pad.
The choice of the editor : The Bi-Phase Face Chanel: its two plant extracts, moisturizing salicorne and anti-pollution blue micro algae make it a cleansing care as well as protective. Uriage cleansing oil: its water-soluble formula dissolves makeup, cleans pores, and its cranberry oil arouses radiance. Gelled Cleansing Oil Facial and Eyes, Argane, Galenic: its Argan oil composition, rich in omega 3/6/9 and particularly fluid liposoluble agents, has a very strong affinity with the dirt attached to the skin and cleans all leaving a delightful impression of flexibility and comfort.
"I have pimples, cleansing oil does not it risk to aggravate my case?"
Oily skin is often prone to imperfections, and it is not recommended to attack them with foaming gels at the risk of seeing them react in rebound by overproduction of sebum and pimples. We must choose formulas oils that turn into milky lotions in contact with water and allow a soft makeup removing thanks to a fast emulsion, soft, which leaves no greasy residue, no stickiness, or an uncomfortable feeling of tugging.
The right gesture : never cotton. A few drops in the hand, one massages with the fingers, on dry or wet skin to the choice, one adds a little water, one massages, one begins again, then one rinses.
The editorial choice : Dior Gentle Cleansing Oil Express: non-emulsifying, non-irritating, it eliminates without feeling of fat and preserves the essential hydration for skin with imperfections. Erborian Cleansing Cleansing Oil: Its charcoal absorbs impurities gently, and its cocktail of 7 herbs plays bactericides.
"Help, I do not have any makeup remover, can I use a table oil: olive, sunflower?"
Especially not ! Only coconut oil can do the trick, or, at the limit, some butter. A scientific advice: you can very well also clean your skin with a little day cream whose greasy phase will do very well. Go still gently for eyelashes!
