Easy Moisturizing Makeup Remover Using Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream

Everyone knows my love for my Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream, the more I use it, the more uses I find for it. Now, just to get it out there, sometimes I DESPISE wearing make-up just because of the aches and pains to remove it after a long day. I am one of those people who absolutely cannot go to bed knowing that I have makeup on my face. For the longest time, I had been using Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Vaseline or even baby oil to remove my makeup, and don't get me wrong, they did the trick but recently I have discovered the easiest way to remove all traces of makeup, both eye make-up, as well as face make-up.

The answer is CETAPHIL MOISTURIZING CREAM

Things you will need:
- Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream
- 3 Cotton Rounds
- Warm Water

There are two methods to removing your makeup using the cetaphil moisturizing cream

METHOD 1: this is best suited for the days when you do not have THAT much makeup on
- apply warm water to your warm and GENTLY patting your eyes to break down all the foundation, mascara etc.
- take a small amount of the cetaphil moisturizing cream in the palm of your hands and apply all over your face, apply a little bit more on your eyes and let it sit for about 30-60 seconds
- start massaging the cream into your face. If you feel that your face is not so 'slippery' anymore, apply more warm water to your palms and continue massaging.
- massage your face for at least 1 minute and than pat try with a towel.

***repeat if necessary

METHOD 2: this method WORKS BEST in my opinion.
- splash your face with warm water (the purpose here is to break down the makeup a tad bit.
- take two cotton rounds and run them under warm water, the point here is to make them wet. Make sure the cotton rounds do not start to break apart (they will only start to break apart if too much water is used).
- take a dime size of cetaphil moisturizing cream and apply to each cotton round

- use the two cotton rounds, place them on your eyes for around 30-60 seconds.
- gently wipe your eyes, flip the cotton rounds over and wipe the rest of your face
- the beauty of using COTTON ROUNDS, is that you can use BOTH SIDES!

This is gross, but just goes to show that this method WORKS AMAZING!1

- use the third cotton round, wet it, apply cream and use this as a last step to ensure your face is completely make-up free

Follow up with your usual face cleansing process, or wash your face with water. pat dry and moisturize (again with the cetaphil moisturizing cream, if you're obsessed, like I am :P lol)

Now I am sure there are more ways to use cetaphil to remove your makeup but I feel the above are the simplest. I usually use method #2 most often just because I feel it is more efficient for me as I wear a lot of mascara.

***You can also mix cetaphil moisturizing cream with an oil (such as Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Coconut Oil, Almond oil) to achieve similar results. I just find the oil method to messy.

Hope this helps someone!!
