For years, I have been using moisturizer to remove my eye makeup. I'd like to start using a makeup remover, but all the ones I've tried dry out my skin. What should I be looking for?

After years of using moisturizer to remove your makeup, anything else is going to feel drying, but there are great products on the market right now that can make your life hassle-free. Using a non-alcohol-based remover for your eyes is important as that area is delicate, so look for formulations containing natural oils that are great for breaking down makeup and removing dirt that has accumulated on the face during the day.

One is Lush Cosmetics Ultra Bland Cream cleanser. It contains almond oil and is unscented, which means less chance of irritation to the skin; it also has a high Vitamin E content, which is well-known for its great skin benefits.
