Removing your makeup before bed is one of the best things you can do for your skin.
Going to bed with a face full of makeup can result in clogged pores that may contribute to breakouts. It increases the risk of dry skin and you’ll notice an overall dull complexion the morning after sleeping with your makeup on.
If you do this too often, you may start to really struggle with your skin, but why put yourself through all this when there’s a super quick and easy fix?
Makeup removers, of course! And not just any makeup removers, either. An organic makeup remover is what we recommend and in this article, we’ll tell you why!
Here are some solid reasons to convince you to ditch your harsh, conventional makeup removers and treat your skin to an organic one instead!

Won’t strip your skin
You know that squeaky clean feeling you feel after removing your makeup with a conventional makeup remover or washing your face with a conventional foaming face wash?
That tight, dry feeling is quite unpleasant and due to harsh ingredients like alcohol and sulfates. This is often an indication that your skin has been stripped of beneficial oils, along with excess oils, and if you do this regularly, you put your skin’s barrier function at risk.
An impaired barrier function can cause all sorts of issues, from moisture loss through the pores to inflamed skin and breakouts.
Because organic makeup removers are formulated with all-natural botanicals and no chemicals, skin-stripping is something you will never have to worry about again!
Removes more dirt and grime
Organic makeup removers often contain oil as the base ingredient and because oil dissolves oil, you can rest assured that it’s going to work deep to remove every last trace of makeup from your skin!
Oils like olive, castor, and coconut sink deep into the pores to remove dirt and grime and keep them clean and open. That means cleaner pores and fewer blackheads.
Keeps skin balanced
Your skin has a very delicate pH that needs to be balanced at all times to ensure your skin stays healthy and in great condition.
Harsh and drying ingredients can throw off your skin’s pH balance, which can then result in an array of unpleasant skin issues.
An organic makeup remover will keep your skin’s pH perfectly balanced, so your skin is one less thing for you to worry about!
Adds hydration
It may seem strange that a makeup remover can add moisture to parched skin, but you better believe it!
Unlike drying conventional makeup removers that strip the skin, organic makeup removers infuse your skin with a deep dose of hydration while it cleanses. This hydration is thanks to soothing ingredients like aloe, non-GMO vitamin E, and luxurious plant oils, which help clean and hydrate the skin, all while promoting a beautiful, radiant glow!
Soothes and calms
You wouldn’t pour salt on a wound, so why are you putting harsh alcohols and sulfates on your precious skin?
Silky oils and powerful nutrients work to soothe and calm the skin while removing all traces of makeup, balancing your skin’s pH, and adding just enough moisture for a healthy, radiant complexion.
Now, that’s what we call a true beauty multitasker!
Prevents breakouts
If you still believe that oils cause breakouts, then we’re so glad you found this article!
While you may think that alcohol from your synthetic makeup remover is helping to dry up your blemishes, it’s actually doing more harm than good.
When you strip your skin from beneficial oils, your skin tries to make up for this lack of oil, often by over-compensating. The skin then produces too much sebum, the excess of which often ends up clogging the pores and causing those breakouts you try so desperately to avoid.
Organic, oil-based makeup removers are just what you need to remove pore-clogging dirt and grime without disrupting your skin’s delicate balance. When your sebum levels are balanced, this is when your skin is happy and free from pesky pimples.
Protects against aging free radicals
Sick of seeing new lines and wrinkles pop up every time you dare to look in the mirror?
Those harsh, synthetic makeup removers aren’t doing your skin any favors with their drying ingredients that will only strip moisture needed for youthful skin, which then, in turn, causes a lack of collagen and elastin in the skin.
Keep your skin hydrated and plump and protected against the aging and damaging effects of free radicals by infusing your pores with a powerful burst of antioxidants to fight free radicals all night long!
The mirror will soon become your new best friend!
Preps your skin for follow up products
What’s the point of applying a beautiful, rich serum to your skin if you’re only applying it on top of dirt and unshed skin cells? The ingredients will then simply cling to the surface of your skin instead of skink deep into your pores, which is just what you want!
An organic makeup remover will help fully clean out your pores, so they simply drink up your follow-up products.
We also recommend exfoliating at least once or twice a week with an organic exfoliator to keep your skin smooth and clear and perfectly prepped for your luxurious, natural products.
Won’t put your health at risk
This is something essential to consider when purchasing skincare products, from your makeup remover to your facial lotion.
Non-organic makeup removers often contain ingredients that aren’t only damaging to the skin. They may potentially put your health at risk, considering that a percentage of everything you apply to your skin ends up in your bloodstream.
Organic makeup removers contain plant-based ingredients that won’t ever put your health at risk.
Won’t cause inflammation
Are you a serial makeup remover user?
Have you used multiple conventional brands simply to try and find one that will finally not aggravate your skin?
We encourage you to stop your search and look no further than an organic makeup remover because we promise your skin will never flare up again!
The only reason your skin will flare up from an organic makeup remover is if you have a specific allergy to a natural ingredient, not because it contains harsh ingredients that should never be anywhere near your skin!
Improves the appearance of the skin with regular use
Last but absolutely not least, regular use of an organic makeup remover may actually help to improve your skin’s overall appearance and have people asking you for your skincare secret.
You can thank plant-based oils and potent antioxidants for this! They work beautifully together to refine, smooth, hydrate, clear, balance, and leave your skin glowing like a goddess!
