Ask Kaylin: Makeup Remover for Sensitive Eyes

Whether you suffer from seasonal allergies or ingredient allergies (or both), most of us know the pain of itchy, red eyes. For some of us, it was why we started using natural products in the first place. So when I was asked for help from someone with sensitive eyes, I was happy to provide a product recommendation.

Cynthia:
I have sensitive eyes and skin. Do you know of any good makeup removers for me?

Kaylin:

If you're looking for a makeup remover for sensitive eyes, many natural products will do the trick. My personal favorite is Beauty Without Cruelty's Extra Gentle Eye Make-up Remover. As the name indicates, it is a very gentle formula, and this product can be found in many retail stores on online on sites such as Amazon.com.

This remover has a light consistency, so I recommend applying it with an organic cotton pad. Be sure to moisten the pad thoroughly, then use gentle downward motions to remove the makeup. Run the pad lightly underneath your lower lid to remove any stray makeup. Be gentle, as you don't want to pull or tug the delicate under-eye area. And as always, please discontinue use of this and any other product if you experience any irritation, redness, or other reaction.
