Skin cleansing and makeup removal are the basis of daily facial care, preparing the skin for further treatment, allowing it to absorb any active substances. Proper, thorough makeup removal is responsible for the effectiveness of any other beauty products you might use. Short of time as we all tend to be these days (and evenings), however, can we find a way to do things really quickly yet carefully enough?

Makeup removal in all its variations

With the many of makeup removing products available on the market, you can pick and choose at your convenience to suit your particular needs and preferences, yet bear in mind that some products are bound to be more effective than other.

• Cleansing milk: appreciated for its mildness and creamy texture, kind especially to dry skin due to its moisturizing properties.
• Micellar solution: not only removes makeup and impurities, but also restores the skin’s natural pH.
• Dual phase solution: formulated especially for the removal of heavy duty, water-proof makeup.
• Toner: a water-based product that removes makeup remnants while also refreshing and cooling the skin, and restoring its natural pH.
• Makeup removing wipes/towelettes: wipes soaked with a makeup removing formula, great when you are travelling and in emergency situations, also when we have no access to water. Yet, they should not be used on a daily basis, as they may mechanically irritate (abrase) the skin.
• Gel cleanser: a good way for a thorough cleanse, but only provided it is detergent-free, i.e. free from SLS and SLES, as those substances compromise he skin’s hydrolipid coat, thus drying and irritating it.
• Soapless cleansing bars and foams: still a novelty. These are cleansing agents that, just like cleansing gels, should be free from any substances potentially compromising and irritating the skin.

Proper makeup removal is oftentimes time-consuming and still not always efficient enough, depending obviously on the product we choose. After a hard and long working day, especially when we come home, like, really late, all we want to do is finally unwind and relax, whereas skincare may not exactly come top of our priority list. The contemporary woman expects beauty products to be simply and effortlessly effective, while also convenient to use. Akana’s cleansing soft powder formulated with removing makeup in mind will not disappoint.
