The Right Way to Remove Eye Makeup (And Restore Your Eye Area at Night)

Ciao, Beautiful! 

If you’re over 40, chances are your eyes have seen a lot — long days, late nights, stress, and of course… makeup. But here’s the truth most people don’t realize: even when you think you’ve cleaned it all off, up to 85 percent of people still leave eye makeup behind. And that leftover gunk? It can lead to irritation, lash breakage, dryness, and even infections.

As an esthetician, I’ve seen it all — and I’m here to tell you: taking care of your eye area doesn’t have to be complicated. You just need the right steps, in the right order.

Here’s the easy, no-nonsense 3-step nighttime routine for healthier, happier eyes:

Step 1: Cleanse your whole face (yes, including over your eyes)
Start with a gentle face cleanser that melts away surface makeup. Don’t be afraid to lightly go over the eye area — this helps break things down before the next step.

Step 2: Swipe with eye makeup remover wipes
This is where the magic happens. Even after cleansing, you’ll be shocked at what’s still left behind. A targeted eye makeup wipe ensures every last bit is gone — no raccoon eyes on your pillow!

Step 3: Spritz hypochlorous acid spray
This calming mist is a secret weapon for irritated, sensitive eyes. It helps reduce bacteria, soothes the delicate skin, and preps your eyes for the final step.

Step 4 (Bonus!): Apply your Restorative PM Eye Cream
Now that you’ve properly cleansed and calmed the area, seal in hydration with our Restorative PM Eye Cream. This nourishing formula helps fight overnight dehydration and works while you sleep to soften fine lines and restore a smoother under-eye area.

Bonus Tip for Morning:
When you wake up, reach for our Eye Dream of Coffee. This morning must-have is packed with caffeine to refresh tired under-eyes, reduce the appearance of puffiness, and help brighten dark circles. It’s the perfect wake-up call for your eyes.

Final Thoughts
Your eye area is delicate and deserves extra care — but that doesn’t mean it has to take extra time. By following this simple, proven nighttime routine, you’ll set yourself up for healthier, stronger, more youthful-looking eyes.
