Will Any Microfiber Cloth Remove Makeup

Welcome to the latest installment of my Do I Demand This? series. In these posts, I offer my experience and opinion virtually whether or non I think a trendy product or technique is worth it. Plainly, you don't actually need ANY beauty products, so the answer to the question is always going to be no, to some extent. But is it going to change your life (or face up)? Is information technology going to make things easier? Are you lot going to observe any deviation at all? That's what I'm getting at. Yous may disagree with my verdict, because we all take dissimilar bodies/faces/brains/desires, only I'll try to offering a starting point, at least.

The Original MakeUp Eraser is a facecloth that is advertised as existence able to remove 100% of your makeup with just h2o. Permit me be clear upfront: this is not a review of the Original Makeup Eraser, because I don't own 1 - because I am non going to pay $20 for a single microfiber cloth. But you accept to acknowledge that it's pretty genius marketing. I'm sure the product works as advertised, and it's pink and eco-friendly and all that good stuff. Plus, people will purchase anything if y'all can tell them that it promises "no chemicals" - fifty-fifty if they selection information technology up at Sephora next to all sorts of dyes and pigments and perfumes. Water is not a chemical, naturally. All natural polyester! I know I audio like I'm making fun of it, and I kind of am, merely I too wish I'd thought of the idea to put a cute microfiber material in a flashy box and sell it for 20 bucks.

So hither'due south the question, and I'one thousand sure you already know what my reply is going to be.

Practice I demand this?

Brusk answer: I doubt information technology.

Here's the thing. My sister swears by cleansing her face up with a microfiber cloth. She'due south been doing information technology every day for years (at least 5), using nothing just water. She tells me that her peel is actually much better when she doesn't use cleanser, and that the material does indeed remove her makeup easily. Merely like the MakeUp Eraser people say, it works. This is nothing new.

If you lot have trouble finding a cleanser that you like, or if your peel tends to be sensitive to face launder, this is a method you might consider. It'southward probably going to be especially effective if you don't wear heavy makeup (like foundation) regularly and if, like my sister, yous take pretty skilful skin to brainstorm with (that bowwow). But even if you don't fit those criteria, it can't hurt to try.

Me? I've tried the microfiber thing, and it does indeed remove makeup, but I prefer my facial cleansers. Merely then I happen to like chemicals.

Anyway, if you want to requite this method a try, I recommend just getting some regular, microfiber cloths. You lot tin can find them all over the place. Amazon has packs of 24 cloths for $15, for example, and then you apply a clean ane nearly every day for a month, if yous desire to. If it makes you uncomfortable to launder your confront with a cloth intended for household cleaning, you can get cloths labeled specifically for your face, but they price more than. They might be a little softer, though.

These cheap microfiber cloths are not "dupes" for the MakeUp Eraser (and the MakeUp Eraser people warn you in all caps to BEWARE IMITATORS). That'south not what I'm claiming here. They're an culling. The MakeUp Eraser cloth looks more plush and fluffy - more like a stuffed animate being pelt than a towel. But my (sister'due south) experience suggests that you tin can become the results they advertise with a regular microfiber cloth.

Okay, I've now typed "microfiber" so many times that it's first to lose pregnant. Practise you use this method to remove your makeup or to wash your face? What is your weapon of choice?
