Using a makeup eraser towel is a simple and effective way to remove makeup using only water. It typically involves a few easy steps to prepare the towel and then use it for both cleansing and exfoliating your skin.
Getting Started: Preparing Your Towel
Before you use your makeup eraser towel, it's important to follow the initial preparation and wetting steps for optimal performance.
- Wash: Machine wash hot and dry your new towel before the first use. The reference states it is safe to use with fabric softener and dryer sheets.
- Wet: Soak a section of the towel in warm water. According to the reference, the warmer and wetter the towel is, the better it will work. Ensure the towel is thoroughly saturated.
The Usage Steps
Once your towel is prepped and wet, you can proceed with removing your makeup and exfoliating your skin.
Here are the key steps to use your makeup eraser towel:
- Erase Makeup: Using the short fiber side of the towel, gently move the towel in circular motions across your face. This side is designed to lift and remove makeup effectively with just water. Use gentle pressure to avoid irritating your skin.
- Exfoliate Skin: Flip the towel over to the long fiber side (the side that usually has the tag). Use this side to gently exfoliate your skin. The longer fibers provide a different texture for a mild exfoliating effect.
For best results, work in sections, wetting the towel as needed to ensure it remains saturated and warm.
Caring for Your Makeup Eraser Towel
To keep your makeup eraser towel clean and effective, consistent care is recommended. After each use, rinse the towel thoroughly to remove makeup residue. For deeper cleaning, machine wash it regularly following the instructions (wash hot, dry, fabric softener/dryer sheet safe) to maintain its efficacy and hygiene.
Using a makeup eraser towel simplifies your makeup removal routine, offering an eco-friendly alternative to disposable wipes.
