How to remove Halloween make-up

Hello everyone!

Dressing-up as someone, or something, for Halloween can be a lot of fun.  An elaborate costume can require a lot of make-up.  But once the fun is over, how do you take it off?

Every product has different ingredients, so the way you remove it will differ.  Water-based products are much easier to get off than oil-based ones.  But first, always read the label.

Here are some general guidelines on how to remove costume make-up and face paints.

Use soap and water

Before you try using any make-up removers, wash your face with soap and see if that does the job.

Use a make-up remover

Use your regular make-up remover, it will work on most types of Halloween make-up.

Use an oil (coconut, jojoba, etc)

Oil adheres to oil, so it's one of the easiest ways to take off face paint.

Use baby wipes

If you don't have any make-up removing wipes, baby wipes will work just as well.

Use a lotion

A little lotion on a cotton ball is great for removing make-up without drying out your skin.
