What is a biphase makeup remover?

Biphase makeup remover is a type of makeup remover that uses a combination of oil and water to effectively remove makeup particularly waterproof or long wearing formulas. The term "biphase" refers to the two distinct phases or layers - typically, consisting of an oil phase (layer) at the top and a water phase (layer) at the bottom. The oil layer dissolves the makeup and the water layer helps to cleanse and refresh your skin. It is essential to shake the bottle well before using to mix the two phases together

What is the best way to remove eye makeup?

To remove your eye makeup, choose a gentle makeup remover that does not require rubbing or tugging around your delicate eye area. A biphase makeup remover (an oil -water combo) melts away the most stubborn waterproof eye makeup including mascara. Shake well, soak a cotton pad with your remover, and place over your closed eyes for about 10-15 seconds. This helps dissolve your makeup without rubbing. Gently wipe downward and outward. Avoid harsh rubbing to prevent irritation and premature wrinkles.

To remove makeup using makeup remover, saturate a cotton pad with the product and gently swipe it across your face, paying extra attention to areas with heavy makeup like eyes and lips. Follow up by rinsing your face with lukewarm water or using a gentle cleanser to ensure all residue is removed, leaving your skin clean and refreshed.

How to remove makeup without makeup remover

It's recommended to use a makeup remover when removing makeup to help avoid skin irritation that may occur otherwise. However, an alternative to regular makeup remover is to use a cleansing balm that will not only remove your makeup, but cleanse and hydrate your skin.
