Eye Make-up Remover Pads
I thought I would try these Eye Make-up Remover Pads as when I buy a liquid remover it runs out within a week and I don't fancy buying 4 a month. I usually use the Purifying Cleansing Lotion to take all my make-up off but I had run out and it had been sold out for a while. When I went to buy it again and saw it was once again out of stock I was actually just looking to pick up face wipes and was just going to use them to remove my eye make-up only. They dry my skin out if I use them everyday but for eye make-up they would of been just fine. Then I spotted these pads and thought I'd give them a try. I think for the days when I just use a swipe of mascara they will be ok but I usually line my eyes and wear a few layers of black mascara. Because the eye area is delicate, I believe you should gently press the pad on the eye and hold there for a short while before carefully wiping away the make-up. It's like with nail varnish remover, hold it on to let it remove the product to avoid as much rubbing as possible. At only £1.99 for 30 pads (Home Bargains) I think for a light make-up wearer these will do the job. For me I would need to use 2+ pads and they probably wouldn't last me too long if I used them most days. Now I have managed to repurchase the Purifying Cleansing Lotion I will use that to remove my eye make-up.
Purifying Cleansing Lotion
This is a tried and tested make-up remover for me. It is gentle enough for my sensitive skin. I usually squirt a penny sized amount on a cotton pad and wipe over my face and repeat until my skin is clean. I use this product to remove my eye make-up and have not reaction to it like I do with other products near my eyes. I would thoroughly recommend this to those with sensitive skin. I buy mine from Home Bargains were they charge £1.99 for it, that is why it is usually out of stock but Superdrug usually have it on offer. Sometimes I stock up on a 2-4-1 or 3-4-2 deal. Sainsbury's had a deal on recently so I shop around.
Soothing Facial Toner
After cleansing, I apply this toner to a cotton pad and wipe it over my face.
Hydrating Light Moisturiser
I have started using this light moisturiser underneath my make-up as it soaks in well and does not take my make-up off like heavier ones do. I use a heavier moisturiser at night if my skin is feeling dry. This Simple moisturiser should be ideal for my sensitive skin and it doesn't leave my face shiny. My skin is feeling drier but I think I will stick with this and do an exfoliating scrub once a week and use my favourite heavy moisturiser Nivea Soft each night and see if that helps.
Vital Vitamin Foaming Cleanser
I have recently discovered this foaming cleanser. It was on offer in Superdrug and as I am a fan of the Simple skincare range, I thought I would try it. I love it! I take my eye make-up off first and then, with my face make-up still on, I wet my face and pump two squirts of the foam on to my hands. I rub the foam cleanser onto my face avoiding my eyes and then rinse off. It removes all traces of my make-up and leaves my skin feeling very clean. It does tighten slightly so I always follow with moisturiser as I don't like that sensation. My skin perked up after using only a week. I don't use it everyday as some days I like to use the Purifying Cleansing Lotion. I like both equally so I switch between the two. I would thoroughly recommend this Foaming Cleansing.
Do you use any of these products? Which other Simple products would you recommend?
