Things You'll Need:
- Facial Cleanser
- Makeup Remover
- Cotton pads or soft washcloth
- Facial Moisturizer
- Eye Cream
-
Step 1
Choose the makeup removal formula that works with your skin type. Those with sensitive skin should avoid products with alcohol or fragrances; dry and combination skin types should use a gel or creamy cleanser; and normal skin can use creams, gels, and liquid cleansers. Cold creams like Noxzema work well for many skin types because they remove makeup and clean the skin at the same time.

Step 2
Apply the cleanser using your fingertips and rub in circular motions along the cheeks, chin, forehead, and nose. If you're wearing very thick foundation, leave it on for an extra minute to help dissolve the makeup.
-
Step 3
Wipe away cleanser and foundation with a soft washcloth or cotton pads. Avoid using cotton around the eye area, especially if you wear contacts because fibers could get in your eyes. Wipe away gently, and don't pull on the skin.
-
Step 4
Use cool water to rinse away any remaining traces of foundation or cleanser. Then, pat your face dry.
-
Step 5
Next, apply a moisturizer and eye cream that are geared for your skin type. Rub moisturizer into the skin using small circular motions along the forehead, neck, and cheeks. Dab eye cream on the outside of the eye and rub in with the ring finger to avoid pulling on the delicate skin.
