Struggling to perfect your eye makeup removal routine?
If irritation or residues are giving you the blues, an eye expert showcased a “double cleanse” technique on TikTok, proving it’s a game-changer for immaculate eyes.
The savvy doctor, known on TikTok as @dr.alexahecht, demonstrated with a used wipe astonishingly smeared with mascara and grime the necessity of thorough cleaning even after an initial wash. Emphasising the need for meticulous care, she said: “Properly remove eye make-up.”
Revealing her own regimen, Alexa champions “tear restore wipes”, which she utilises post-face cleansing. Lauding their ingredients, she noted these wipes contain Manuka honey, praising them for being “so nice”, “super gentle and hydrating around the eye area”.
Echoing her skincare approach, she disclosed: “Just like I like to double cleanse my face, especially if I’m wearing make-up, I like to double cleanse my eyes.”
She continued: “The wipes are eco-friendly, being ‘100% biodegradable’, a sigh of relief for environmentally conscious users. Grab a pack off Amazon at £15.99 and witness the transformation you will see that makeup will come off.”
Alexa assured as she proceeded with the rest of her regimen a concoction of micellar water-soaked pads, soothing eye drops, nourishing eye cream, culminating in a spritz of hypochlorous spray for added softness and hydration.
A curious individual asked: “Are those wipes good for blepharitis too?”
Citing NHS guidance, it’s highlighted that “Blepharitis causes swollen, itchy eyelids. It’s not usually serious and can often be treated by washing your eyelids every day”.
The NHS recommends these wipes as a potential aid for symptoms, but also emphasises the necessity of cleaning your eyelids twice daily and steering clear of contact lenses or eye makeup if you’re suffering from this condition.
