Basic steps for the correct makeup removal method
Step 1: Remove point makeup first
Gently remove eye and lip makeup using a special remover
Eye and lip makeup are often harder to remove than full face makeup. Using a dedicated remover will help you remove these makeups efficiently. Soak a cotton pad in the remover and lightly press it against the makeup area for a few seconds, then gently wipe it off. This method will minimize friction on your skin.
Dermatologists have advised that the most important thing to do when removing makeup is to not rub the skin. Be sure to remove the makeup gently.
The correct way to wipe with cotton
When using cotton, move it smoothly without applying pressure. Pay special attention to the delicate areas around the eyes and mouth. Rubbing can put strain on the skin and cause wrinkles and dryness. Replace the cotton with a new one and repeat the process until all the makeup is removed.
Step 2: Use a moderate amount of cleanser
Why warm your cleanser in your palm before using it
Warming the cleanser in your palms will help it blend more easily into your skin. Using it cold can be harsh on your skin. Warming it slightly in your palms before spreading it over your entire face will help lift off makeup and sebum more efficiently.
How to gently apply to skin
After applying the cleanser to your face, use the pads of your fingers to gently move in circular motions. Work your way from your cheeks, forehead, nose, and mouth to ensure an even blend. Be gentle and avoid rubbing your skin. This process will lift away any makeup or dirt.
Step 3: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water
How to choose the right water temperature
Use lukewarm water to rinse off the cleanser. Too hot water can strip the skin of moisture and cause dryness. Too cold water may not remove the cleanser properly. The right temperature should be one that feels comfortable to the touch.
Washing method to avoid friction
When rinsing, scoop water into the palm of your hand and gently pour it over your entire face. Do not scrub, but rinse carefully so that no cleansing agent remains. Be especially careful around the hairline and jawline, where cleansing agent is likely to remain.
Step 4: The Need for Double Cleansing
When double cleansing is necessary and when it is not
The necessity of double cleansing varies depending on the condition of your skin and the thickness of your makeup. If you use heavy makeup or waterproof cosmetics, cleansing alone may not be enough to completely remove the dirt. In this case, double cleansing can thoroughly remove any makeup or sebum remaining on your skin.
On the other hand, on days when you wear light or no makeup, cleansing alone may be enough. It is important not to wash your face more than necessary, as excessive washing can damage the skin's barrier function.
The basic rule for protecting your skin is to follow the advice of dermatologists to "remove makeup without rubbing." When double cleansing, be gentle so as not to put strain on your skin.
How to choose a facial cleanser
When choosing a facial cleanser, it is important to choose one that suits your skin type and purpose. For those with dry skin, we recommend a cleanser that contains moisturizing ingredients. For sensitive skin, it is best to choose a mild type that is less irritating. For those with oily skin, a cleanser that thoroughly removes excess sebum is suitable.
Another point to consider when choosing a facial cleanser is how it feels when used. A cleanser that lathers well will reduce friction on the skin. When washing your face, make sure to create a good lather before placing it on your face and gently wash with the pads of your fingers.
point
Check the ingredients on the face wash and choose one that suits your skin type.
You can determine whether the cleanser is appropriate by checking whether your skin feels tight after washing your face.
Things to be aware of and things not to do when removing makeup
Precautions to prevent skin problems
Do not direct the shower water onto your face
Directing hot water from the shower onto your face can put a lot of strain on your skin. Hot water can strip your skin of moisture and cause it to dry out. Also, if the water pressure in the shower is too strong, it can damage your skin's barrier function. When washing your face, use lukewarm water scooped up with your hands and rinse gently.
Tip : To protect your skin, it is important to choose the right water temperature and pressure. Avoid water that is too hot and direct water pressure.
Do not make your cleansing time too short or too long.
If you cleanse for too short a time, makeup and dirt may not be removed sufficiently. On the other hand, if you cleanse for too long, it can cause friction on the skin, which can lead to dryness and irritation. The appropriate time is about 1 to 2 minutes. Be mindful of being gentle on your skin and removing dirt efficiently.
Advice : When cleansing, it is important to find a balance between "removing dirt" and "reducing the burden on the skin." Be mindful of the time.
What not to do
Do not rub hard
Rubbing your skin too hard can cause friction that can damage the skin and lead to wrinkles and dryness. The delicate areas around the eyes and mouth need to be treated gently. When using a cleansing agent, use the pads of your fingers and gently rub the product into your skin in a circular motion. Instead of scrubbing, try to imagine lifting away dirt.
Dermatologist advice : The key to maintaining beautiful skin is to treat it gently without rubbing it. Avoiding friction will prevent skin problems.
Don't forget to moisturize after cleansing
After cleansing, the skin is in a state where necessary sebum has been removed along with dirt. If left in this state, the skin will become more prone to dryness and its barrier function will be weakened. After cleansing, immediately moisturize with lotion or milk. It is especially important for those with dry or sensitive skin to choose skin care products rich in moisturizing ingredients.
Key point : Moisturizing after cleansing is a basic step to protect your skin. Don't forget to do it.
How to choose the right cleanser for your skin type
When choosing a cleansing agent, it is important to choose one that suits your skin type and purpose. Using the right cleansing agent can reduce the burden on your skin and keep it healthy and beautiful.
Types and characteristics of cleansing agents
Differences between oil type, gel type, and cream type
There are many different types of cleansers. Understand the characteristics of each and choose the one that suits your skin.
Oil type <br>Oil type is suitable for removing heavy makeup and waterproof cosmetics. It blends easily with sebum and has the effect of lifting and removing dirt that has penetrated deep into pores. This type is effective on days when you wear heavy makeup or have been outside for a long time.
Gel type <br>The gel type is characterized by its refreshing feel. It is recommended for those with oily or combination skin. It is suitable for removing light makeup and everyday dirt, and its appeal is that it is gentle on the skin.
-
Cream type <br>The cream type has high moisturizing power and is suitable for dry or sensitive skin. It gently removes makeup and dirt while keeping the skin moist. It is especially recommended for winter and other seasons when dryness is a concern.
Tip : By using different types of makeup remover depending on your skin type and the intensity of your makeup, you can practice the correct makeup removal method.
A cleanser suitable for sensitive and dry skin
For those with sensitive or dry skin, a mild cleanser containing moisturizing ingredients is recommended. Choosing a cleanser that does not contain alcohol or fragrance will further reduce the burden on your skin. Cream or milk type cleansers are also ideal for removing dirt while gently caring for the skin.
Advice : If you have sensitive skin, we recommend doing a patch test before use to make sure it suits your skin.
How to choose according to your skin type and purpose
Cleansing agent for acne-prone skin
For those with acne-prone skin, a cleansing agent that prevents pores from clogging is recommended. It is a good idea to choose a product that is labeled as oil-free or non-comedogenic. Gel or water-type cleansing agents have a refreshing feel and thoroughly remove sebum and dirt that cause acne.
Caution : If you have acne-prone skin, it is important to gently massage the product into your skin without scrubbing it. Avoiding friction will help prevent skin problems.
How to choose the right product depending on the intensity of your makeup
It is also important to choose the appropriate cleansing agent depending on the thickness of your makeup.
-
For days when you wear heavy makeup : If you use waterproof mascara, eye makeup, or lipstick that won't come off easily, we recommend an oil-based cleanser, which will effectively lift and remove the makeup.
Days with Light Makeup <br> On days when you wear light or no makeup, gel or milk type cleansers are suitable. They are gentle on the skin and do not remove more sebum than necessary, so they can protect the skin's barrier function.
Tip : By using different cleansing agents depending on the thickness of your makeup, you can minimize the burden on your skin.

The importance of skin care after removing makeup
Basics of moisturizing care and choosing the right products
After removing your makeup, your skin will lose necessary sebum and moisture along with dirt. That's why it's so important to moisturize your skin after cleansing. Use lotion or milk to moisturize your skin. In particular, choosing products rich in moisturizing ingredients can help prevent dryness and support the skin's barrier function.
Recommended moisturizing ingredients
Hyaluronic acid
Ceramide
Glycerin
When applying moisturizing care, be sure to gently press the product into your skin with the palm of your hand to allow it to penetrate. Avoid scrubbing as this can put a strain on your skin.
Tips for giving your skin a rest
It is important to give your skin a proper rest after removing your makeup. For nighttime skin care, it is effective to use creams and serums that not only moisturize but also contain ingredients that help regenerate the skin. We also recommend using sheet masks once or twice a week as a special care.
point
Giving your skin time to rest will help it stay healthy.
Getting enough sleep is also important, as your skin regenerates while you sleep.
Additionally, consider taking some days off to avoid overdoing it on your skin, as this will give your skin time to heal naturally.
Frequently asked questions and answers
How long should you spend removing your makeup?
The ideal time to remove makeup is 1 to 2 minutes. If you remove your makeup for too short a time, makeup and dirt will not be removed sufficiently, which can cause skin problems. On the other hand, if you remove your makeup for too long, friction will be applied to the skin, which can cause dryness and irritation. It is important to remove your makeup gently and carefully, while being aware of the appropriate time.
Key point : When cleansing, it is important to strike a balance between efficiently removing dirt and minimizing the burden on your skin.
Also, if you wear heavy makeup or waterproof cosmetics, you can use a point makeup remover to reduce the time and burden on your skin. On days when you wear light makeup, you can use a gel or milk type cleanser to remove it effectively in a short time.
Are cleansing sheets bad for your skin?
Cleansing sheets are convenient, but depending on how you use them, they can be hard on your skin. If you rub the sheet too hard, the friction can damage your skin, causing dryness and redness. People with sensitive or dry skin should be especially careful.
Dermatologist Advice: When using cleansing sheets, be sure to press gently to lift off any makeup.
If you use cleansing sheets, you can reduce the harshness of your skin by following these tips:
Wipe gently : Do not scrub, but gently glide over skin.
Don't forget to moisturize : After using the cleansing sheet, be sure to moisturize thoroughly with lotion or milk.
-
Don't use it often : We recommend using it only on special occasions, such as travel or emergencies.
For your everyday skin care routine, it is best to choose a cleanser that suits your skin type. For example, FUNNY ELVES products are formulated specifically for Asian skin and feature gentle ingredients. It is a good idea to incorporate these products into your daily routine.
What is the difference between makeup remover and face wash?
Makeup remover and face wash have different roles. Makeup remover is a step to remove makeup and sebum. On the other hand, face wash is a process to remove any cleansing agents, sweat, dust, etc. remaining on the skin. By using these two properly, you can keep your skin clean and prevent problems.
point
The role of makeup remover is to "float and remove makeup and sebum."
The role of washing your face is to "clean and prepare the surface of your skin."
For example, on days when you wear heavy makeup, it is effective to thoroughly remove the makeup with an oil-based cleanser and then condition your skin with a facial cleanser that foams well. On days when you wear light or no makeup, cleansing alone may be sufficient.
By using FUNNY ELVES products, you can take care of your skin in a way that is gentle on the skin. In particular, the Soft Matte Pressed Powder used as a finishing touch after cleansing softly hides pores and creates smooth skin. This not only keeps your skin beautiful after makeup, but also helps as part of your skin care routine.
