The best ways to remove makeup, according to experts

The worst part of wearing makeup is removing it.

You spend a lot of time perfecting your look before heading out for the day or night to come, only to have to wash it off last.

However, we must keep in mind that the only golden rule of makeup is to remove it before bed and this is also thought by Dr. Charlotte Birnbaum, a board certified dermatologist based in New York City.

Oil, dirt, pollutants, and makeup when left on the skin can lead to breakouts, irritation, styes, and even accelerated skin aging.

The expert explains that the longer these debris settle on the skin, the more likely these undesirable effects are to occur, which is why leaving makeup overnight is even more problematic.

Overnight, this is potentially aggravated by the additional occlusion of a pillow.

  This is what the experts say

Fortunately, there are many makeup removal options on the market today that are much more efficient than your daily facial cleanser and water.

Jessica Wu, a Los Angeles-based dermatologist and author of 'Feed Your Face', should "choose a makeup remover depending on the type and amount of makeup you use. You should easily remove makeup without rubbing or leaving your skin red and irritated."

With this guide in mind, we consulted several beauty experts on the best ways to remove makeup.

Read on to discover their recommendations:

Rabach thinks the best make-up remover for sensitive skin is this La Roche-Posay Toleraine Dermo Milky Cleanser.

Because it does not contain fragrance, alcohol, parabens, or sulfates, it should not irritate the skin.

Another makeup removal method that we have recently loved is a good cleansing balm.

Rabach recommends using it when removing really thick foundation makeup.

Farmacy Green Clean Cleansing Balm is an industry favorite because it literally removes your makeup right onto your face as it transforms from a balm to a lather.

CeraVe Moisturizing Facial Cleanser

(

Birnbaum recommends CeraVe Hydrating Facial Cleanser, or the Bioderma Micellar Water mentioned above, for those with sensitive skin because "they have few ingredients that can cause an allergic reaction or irritation."

She notes that this cleanser is mild and fragrance-free.

Garnier Skin Naturals Micellar Water

(

Rabach agrees that micellar water is a great way to remove most types of makeup.

She says, "I like that you can control how much you saturate the cotton ball."

This option from Garnier is another one of the best options, so much so that it is one of the expert approved skin care products.
