Makeup removal isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your “face of the day” should determine the method: oil for heavy/waterproof base, balm for long days with layered SPF + light makeup, and micellar for desk/ride touch-ups or truly minimal days. Here’s how to pick—and how to avoid the residue trap that leads to bumps along the hairline and jaw.

Heavy/Waterproof Base — Go Oil, No Tug

For full coverage, layered sunscreen, or waterproof liner, start with Kumano Oil Deve Deep Cleansing Oil Bottle 180ml. Massage 6–8 pumps on a dry face (hairline and jaw included) for ~60 seconds; add water to emulsify into a milk, then rinse. The texture of Kumano Oil Deve Deep Cleansing Oil Bottle 180ml dissolves film without friction, so your second cleanse can stay gentle.

Layered SPF + Light Makeup — Balm in the Bathroom

If your day was mostly sunscreen with a light base, use BIORÉ Home de Esthetic Makeup Remover 200g. It’s a cushiony balm that melts into an oil on contact, glides over skin, and rinses off clean in the sink—zero stinging, zero tug. Because BIORÉ Home de Esthetic Makeup Remover 200g removes film thoroughly, you can keep your second cleanse short-contact (or skip if your skin is calm).

Minimal Days/Touch‑Ups — Micellar as Pre‑Cleanse (Not a Finish Line)

For truly minimal days—or mid‑day resets—use BIFESTA Micellar Cleansing Water SERUM MOIST 400ml. Soak a pad, press, and sweep; repeat until the pad runs clear. Important: micellar isn’t a finish line. Follow with water or a short‑contact gentle wash at night. The hydrating base in BIFESTA Micellar Cleansing Water SERUM MOIST 400ml keeps skin from feeling tight while you’re still at your desk.

Residue Check & Cleanup

• Tissue test: After removal, press a white tissue along the jaw/hairline. If you see base, repeat a quick pass to avoid bumps.
• Jaw/hairline pass: Always “outline” your face—these areas collect sweat + product.
• Second cleanse? If you wore long‑wear makeup or layered SPF, yes (short contact, cool water). If not, move to your water lotion within 60 seconds.

Pick removal based on your face of the day: Kumano Oil Deve Deep Cleansing Oil Bottle 180ml for heavy/waterproof, BIORÉ Home de Esthetic Makeup Remover 200g for long SPF + light base, and BIFESTA Micellar Cleansing Water SERUM MOIST 400ml for minimal days or touch‑ups.
