Every year, millions of disposable cotton pads made from conventional cotton (including plastic packaging) end up in the trash. There have long been environmentally friendly alternatives to removing make-up, such as the make-up eraser.
Commercially available facial cleansers contain chemical ingredients that reliably remove even waterproof make-up from the face and décolleté. However, the make-up removers bottled in plastic bottles are at least as harmful to the environment as the cotton pads used to apply the lotions or facial toners. So why spend a lot of money on expensive cosmetics when there are more skin-friendly alternatives to removing make-up – which also produce significantly less (plastic) waste and are completely free of chemicals? The make-up eraser, for example, cleanses deep into the pores and can be used again and again. And that is just one of many advantages.
Overview: This is how the makeup eraser works
The make-up eraser is available in three different versions: as a make-up remover cloth, pad or glove. But regardless of which variant you choose – the functions are always the same:
In order to remove dead skin cells and impurities, excess oil and make-up residue from the face and décolleté, the erasers contain microscopically small X-fibres. The ensure a clear and pure complexion (without residue).To avoid skin irritation, the make-up erasers were not only dermatologically tested (and found to be good), but also approved by the TÜV.Each make-up eraser has micropore technology: a short-pile side for intensive skin cleansing and a long-pile side for gentle skin exfoliation.
Makeup eraser: tips for use
Before use, the makeup eraser must be held under running water and wrung out to moisten it and clean your face. While the short-pile side is used to remove make-up, the long-pile side acts as a kind of peeling – to cleanse the skin deep into the pores. Do not apply too much pressure during the treatment, as the make-up eraser effectively cleanses the skin even when used gently. If waterproof mascara is difficult to remove, it is also important to hold the make-up remover cloth under warm water and place it on your closed eyes for a few minutes. This means that the waxes contained in the mascara can be removed better and, above all, more easily from the eyelashes.
And another tip: The make-up removal cloth should be put in the washing machine after three to five uses at the latest, the pads even after the first, but at the latest after the second treatment. The glove version, on the other hand, can be used two to three times in a row before it has to be cleaned to a maximum of 40 degrees (like the other models).
Makeup eraser: More advantages at a glance
First and foremost is the environmental factor: you produce significantly less waste if you avoid conventional cotton pads that end up in the trash after being used once. Second comes the cost factor: the reusable make-up cleaner will save you a lot of money in the long term on commercially available facial cleansers. Other advantages include the following two: 1. Due to its low weight and small size, the make-up eraser fits into any toiletry bag and 2. all three versions are hypoallergenic and therefore suitable for all skin types.
