It’s hard enough being a redhead with sensitive skin, but to deal with itchy, watery eyes when removing eye makeup is such a pain. Sleeping with your eye makeup can cause clog the pores, resulting in breakouts and acne. It can also cause premature aging since you’re not giving your skin a chance to breathe and recover from the day. Here, we break down our favorite ‘redhead friendly’ makeup removers that are soft on the eyes.
1. Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water
An all-in-one micellar cleanser that removes makeup and refreshes the skin. Not familiar with micellar technology. Like a magnet, micelles capture and lift away dirt, oil and makeup without harsh rubbing, leaving skin perfectly clean. $4 (Shop now)
Redhead Friendly Tip: Never rub or pull the delicate area around your eyes. This can cause the eyelids to lose elasticity and become wrinkled.
