[Blossom]

How do I get my makup off quickly and without killing my face? it takes me SO long to take my makeup off and it really hurts my face. PLEASE HELP!!!

I'll repeat Scruffy's advice, moisturize before you put on make up it helps. I use Kryolan Hydo Oil and work it into my make up real well, I can then just wipe with a baby wipe to remove my make up, then I was and moisturized again. Lot quicker than the old cold cream and less messy. White face takes longer but my Sally come off in 5 mins.

I have yet to try an entire face with it; but, Mehron makeup remover. It works, and it doesn't take much. It takes me forever to get the makeup off. Especially the beard. Use a good moistureizer and work it in well. But the remover cuts the makeup in SECONDS.
Just put some on a cotton square and hve at it. I have used baby oil, cold dream and shampoo for a long time, and from what i was shown in the costume store., This stuff is the fastest and cleanest. You just need to wash your face well after you are done.

I use my own concoction -- Ponds makeup remover pads, but I also pour
in some of the Kryolan Hydro Oil.
The last times I've put on my makeup it has come off with only one of these
pads, and then soap and water to remove the oily residue.

Ponds makeup remover pads by themselves are great, but they kept drying
out on me because this is my slow season and I don't use them too often.
So, I poured in some of the Hydro Oil and found it made for a really good
makeup remover solution, and also found that they don't dry out!

I got the hydro oil from Bubba Sikes, and you can find the Ponds makeup
remove pads at a good pharmacy (CVS for me). The Ponds pads come in
a plastic container, and they also sell "refills" in a foil pouch.
Once you open them, put them into a zip-lock baggie to keep them from
drying out.

I say remover all the way! But like Saphire and Scruffy say...MOISTURIZE! I find when I do this before and of course after, it makes it a lot less traumatic on the skin! And I have quite a bit to remove! Good luck! R.C.F.

I just use plain old baby oil. I pour it the palms of my hands and rub it into the make up until it looks rather muddy. I then wipe it off with a dry washcloth and after that just soap and water. I only takes me a few minutes and I'm good as new.

... Yes,
With my secret formula. Warning follow directions carefully!

6 pints Guiness
six Wheatabix biscuits.
.5 litre Turpentine
3 heaping tablespoons of Good Colemans Ground mustard
1/4 cup of Golden Treacle
1 pound of crushed walnut shells( Reserve the meats)
Three small pieces of Stilton rind. Grated very finely

Combine all ingedients except for Guiness and walnut meats. Eat the nutmeats, Chase with the guiness. Apply mixture to face and scour thourouly. More Guiness may be used to relieve any discomfort.
Finish with a clean water rinse and very carefully pat face dry.
