Post-Makeup: Clean and Tone with Soy

Soy Formula f21c Face Cleanser

A silky, smooth cleanser that effortlessly melts away makeup while toning the skin, reviving the eyelid area and conditioning the eyelashes in the process. A glowing, bright and clear complexion in one simple step!

After the Bento Beauty Project wherein I talked about putting on makeup, we’ll now talk a bit about post-makeup regimen. Yes. Removing the beautiful makeup you’ve laboured to put on. Hehe.

Of course, as much as the next person, I’m a bit of a lazy lady when it comes to removing makeup. I know, I know. Another bad habit. I do make it a point to wash my face now even when I come home dead tired from events I have to go to. Sigh.

Here’s a secret.

I have yet to find a fabulous makeup remover to accompany my facial wash — I’m even open to switching foams should the need arises — but I still believe I need to find the remover. I’ve vowed to stay away from astringents, though effective, I just feel that it abuses my skin. Sigh.

Even when I’ve found the perks of using mineral makeup to assure me that I won’t wake up with raccoon eyes, I still need to make sure that I’ve fully removed the makeup, esp around the eyes (where I usually concentrate on). I find that they’re the hardest to remove, don’t you? I usually end up foaming twice, which then makes my skin prone to dryness. A bit of a dilemma I’ve got there, yeah?

So, here’s a product that promises to “melt away” the makeup plus toning and conditioning eyelid and lashes. Hmmm. Worth a look, don’t you agree? Soy is native of Eastern Asia, more popular as food but is slowly being used — soybean oil, in particular — in soaps or in cosmetics. I reckon it maximises the protein rich component (source of essential amino acids) that the human body needs.

Quick tip: Be informed if you are allergic to soy before proceeding to use products similar to this one.
