Anyone who wears makeup understands that removing it is one of the most annoying parts; after a long day, you’ll just want to crawl in bed and sleep. But it doesn’t take a makeup junkie to understand the importance of removing makeup, and this is especially important if you have oily skin

As someone who battles with oily skin problems, it is critical to invest in an excellent makeup remover. You need something that will not only remove your makeup but will also cleanse your skin, allowing it to breathe and regenerate itself as you sleep. Failing to do so can result in acne flare-ups, wrinkles, pigmentations and even accelerated ageing. 

That being said, there are several makeup removers available, ranging from cleaning balms to lotions, wipes, pads, and micellar waters that are practically made for oily skin. Beauty Insider helps break down the best makeup removers in Malaysia.

The Importance Of Removing Makeup 

Malaysia is one of the hottest countries there is. Exposing too much of your face under the sun while wearing layers of makeup is no good, hence, it is advisable for you to wipe or remove your makeup as soon as you’re home. This will help to protect your delicate skin from being the victims of environmental pollutants and aggressors. 

It is just as vital to select a skin-sensitive, clean makeup remover as it is to select the correct makeup product. Something that is ideal for your skin and can easily remove any makeup residues from the pores and areas of the skin. Makeup removers for oily skin reduce excess oil, keeps the skin smooth, and greasy-free.
