The cure lies in total abstention from make-up (also not a good look for me) and a change of skincare products. The latter is not so difficult to negotiate this time round; I've decided that my eye make-up remover might be a little on the harsh side – perhaps an all-natural might be the way to go. I've always erred on the side of low budget when it comes to removing mascara and the like so perhaps the time has come to treat my skin to something more considered and gentle (even if it costs a bit more).
New Zealand-based Living Nature's Gentle Make-Up Remover (£11.75 - 100ml) is a clear lotion that is designed to remove all make-up, but I'm using it only for my eyes to eke it out. The first apparent difference is that it doesn't sting – a real bonus. The combination of of NZ native plants harakeke and kumerahou, plus eye bright, larch tree and witch hazel make the lotion not only effective and antimicrobial, but also gentle enough to remove (with one or two swift swipes on a cotton wool pad) make-up and grime from the delicate skin around the eyes. At the same time it soothes irritations and calms skin inflammations. So, hey presto... it works! No stingy feeling and eyelids on the road to recovery. For those who care about such things, Living Nature uses 100% natural preservatives, fragrances and active ingredients.
