Just another recommendation for a cleansing balm. So much more gentle on aging skin.

Alternatively, you could use coconut oil.

Use a cleansing balm. My favorite is Farmacy Green Clean.

Don't wear eye makeup? Do you need it?

The elf remover recommended in another thread has been really gentle. It's seems to have some moisturizing properties.

I use the blue Clinique eye makeup remover on a cotton ball, splash water on right after.
Oil gets into my eyes.

Put on an oil cleanser and let it sit for a minute, then use a gentle cleanser to wash. You shouldn’t need to irritate it by wiping a lot.

For years, I have used cotton balls and Neutrogena eye makeup remover and/or micellar water to remove mascara and eye shadow. In the last year, I’ve had a few occasions when my eyes get very irritated (puffy and peeling dry skin the next day). I think maybe now that I am 50, I need to use a much gentler method. I have tried just washing it off using Cetaphil but it doesn’t seem to work. Any ideas? Thanks!
