Diving further into the makeup removal process, it’s important to go in with gentle hands and techniques. Once you’ve cleaned sensitive areas with a makeup wipe, apply water to face and begin scrubbing gently and in circular motions. If possible, trace over sensitive areas with one finger and rinse thoroughly. Use a clean towel to pat your face dry, avoiding rubbing and other harsh pulling of the skin. Follow up with your typical skin care routine, with an additional jelly or ointment for your piercing.
In addition, micellar water and a cotton pad can act as a better alternative to makeup wipes (especially for those of us with extremely sensitive skin). For nose, eyes, and lips, apply micellar water to a clean cotton pad or q-tip and trace over crevices. Make sure makeup removal is followed up with products that have effectively proven to improve your skin, as your piercing will need all the help it can get when it comes to soothing the wound. With these tips in mind, your skin will thank you for your new and improved makeup application process.
