The first thing we want to do when we step into our house after a long day is to take off our bras. Well, the first thing your skin wants you to do is to rinse away the day’s accumulation of dirt and makeup. What goes on, must come off; that’s non-negotiable.
Living in sunny Singapore requires an arsenal of sweat, water and sun-resistant makeup to ensure your face doesn’t melt off, but removing it requires some heavy lifting. Before washing up with your daily cleanser, don’t forget to dislodge the stubborn makeup with a remover that’s designed to take off all those can’t stop, won’t stop formulas.
