Brilio.net - Wearing mascara can be a mainstay, especially when you want your eyes to look more alive and sharp. However, behind its advantages, there is one challenge that often makes mascara users reluctant, namely the process of cleaning the mascara results. Waterproof mascara or has a long-lasting formula is good for durability, but it can be a nightmare when it has to be cleaned.

One common problem when removing mascara is that the lashes fall out. Because mascara sticks tightly, it often needs to be rubbed several times to get it completely clean, and this friction can make the lashes brittle and even break. Not only that, some people also experience sore and stinging eyes when using cleansers such as micellar water, especially if the product contains alcohol or perfume.

This problem is certainly annoying, especially if it happens almost every time you clean your eye makeup. Instead of feeling relieved after cleaning your face, you are worried that your eyelashes will become thinner or your eyes will become irritated. Therefore, it is important to know how to clean mascara gently but effectively, and to choose a cleaning product that is friendly to the sensitive eye area.

Luckily, a YouTube user Valeria Deldinova once revealed a simple way to remove mascara without making your eyelashes fall out. Through one of the videos she uploaded, she admitted that she did not use micellar water, but rather a cleansing balm that is more effective in making mascara fall out without the hassle of repeated rubbing.

But before cleaning with cleansing balm, there are other steps that must be done. Reported by briliobeauty.net from YouTube Valeria Deldinova on Friday (9/5), the first thing to do is rinse the mascara with warm water. Now, while rinsing, rub the mascara on the eyelashes slowly.

Warm water can help remove mascara more easily because the temperature can loosen the bond between the mascara and the lashes. Mascara, especially waterproof mascara, usually contains waxes and oils that make it resistant to water and sweat. When exposed to warm water, these components become softer or melt a little, so the mascara no longer sticks as tightly.

This way, the cleaning process becomes gentler and does not require excessive friction that can damage the eyelashes. In addition, warm water also helps open the pores around the eye area, making mascara residue easier to remove when cleaned with cotton or a soft cloth.

Well, for maximum results, you can apply cleansing balm to the face area. Then while using it to clean makeup on the face, you can also use the rest to rub your eyelashes so that the mascara is even more faded. Make sure you do it slowly so that your eyelashes don't fall out.

Finally, rinse your face and eye area with water. Then wash your face using facial wash to make it even cleaner. That way, your eyelashes will be clean from mascara and of course remain thick because they don't fall out easily.
