How to Safely Remove Halloween Makeup (Without Wrecking Your Skin) 🧴

After the party’s over, resist the urge to scrub! Many costume makeups contain heavy pigments, waxes, or adhesives that can irritate your skin if removed too harshly.

Here’s how to do it right:

💧 Step 1: Start with an oil-based cleanser or makeup remover, it helps dissolve thick face paint and waterproof makeup.
🧼 Step 2: Follow with a gentle, non-stripping cleanser to remove any residue.
🧴 Step 3: Moisturize right away! Your skin barrier needs hydration after all that makeup and cleansing.

⚠️ Pro Tip:
Avoid using alcohol wipes or harsh scrubs, they can leave your skin red, dry, and irritated (aka, post-Halloween regret).

Keep your skin happy long after the costume comes off. 🕸️
