Post-Makeup: Clean and Tone with Soy
Soy Formula f21c Face Cleanser
A silky, smooth cleanser that effortlessly melts away makeup while toning the skin, reviving the eyelid area and conditioning the eyelashes in the process. A glowing, bright and clear complexion in one simple step!
After the Bento Beauty Project wherein I talked about putting on makeup, we’ll now talk a bit about post-makeup regimen. Yes. Removing the beautiful makeup you’ve laboured to put on. Hehe.
Of course, as much as the next person, I’m a bit of a lazy lady when it comes to removing makeup. I know, I know. Another bad habit. I do make it a point to wash my face now even when I come home dead tired from events I have to go to. Sigh.
Here’s a secret.
I have yet to find a fabulous makeup remover to accompany my facial wash — I’m even open to switching foams should the need arises — but I still believe I need to find the remover. I’ve vowed to stay away from astringents, though effective, I just feel that it abuses my skin. Sigh.
Even when I’ve found the perks of using mineral makeup to assure me that I won’t wake up with raccoon eyes, I still need to make sure that I’ve fully removed the makeup, esp around the eyes (where I usually concentrate on). I find that they’re the hardest to remove, don’t you? I usually end up foaming twice, which then makes my skin prone to dryness. A bit of a dilemma I’ve got there, yeah?
So, here’s a product that promises to “melt away” the makeup plus toning and conditioning eyelid and lashes. Hmmm. Worth a look, don’t you agree? Soy is native of Eastern Asia, more popular as food but is slowly being used — soybean oil, in particular — in soaps or in cosmetics. I reckon it maximises the protein rich component (source of essential amino acids) that the human body needs.
Quick tip: Be informed if you are allergic to soy before proceeding to use products similar to this one.

I use Cetaphil cleanser (bottle) to remove eye make up. Works pretty well. Leave for a few seconds, then swipe with cotton!
Other swear by Petroleum Jelly, but I’ve never really tried.
This Soy brand looks great tho for those lazy times that u just want to jump in the bed and snooze after a gimik :P

I’m still looking for that perfect product. I think that I have it all taken off and then I wakeup with the smoky look that I thought that I had taken care of! Must give these both a try… hey, just one more reason to hit the mall. ;)

Lia: Cetaphil? First time I’ve heard of it. If you swear by it I’ll give it a go. And Petroleum Jelly??? Er, that’s another first. LOL.
SP: Perhaps we should virtually shop together and experiment. Gah. The idea! I simply can’t toy with my skin plus it’s too impractical to just throw away them products after you just bought it. Sigh. Dilemma. Dilemma.
