When lipstick makeup remover cannot be removed completely, you can try the following three methods:
1. Use professional makeup remover products: Choose makeup remover or oil specifically designed for the eyes and lips, which typically have stronger cleaning capabilities and can effectively dissolve pigments and oils in lipstick. Pour an appropriate amount of makeup remover onto a cotton pad, gently apply it to the lips, and wait for a few seconds for the makeup remover to fully dissolve the lipstick. Then gently wipe the lips with a cotton pad, paying attention to wiping in the direction of the lip lines to avoid pulling the lip skin.
2. Using glycerin or Vaseline: Both glycerin and Vaseline have good solubility and lubricity, which can help remove lipstick that is difficult to clean. First, gently wipe off the lipstick on the surface of the lips with a tissue, then apply an appropriate amount of glycerin or Vaseline to the lips. Wait for a few minutes for glycerin or Vaseline to fully dissolve the lipstick, then gently wipe it clean with a cotton pad or tissue.
3. Try gentle physical methods: If neither of the above methods works well, you can try gently brushing your lips with warm water and a soft toothbrush (or cotton swab). Be careful not to overheat the water temperature to avoid burning the lip skin. When brushing, be gentle to avoid excessive friction that may damage the lips. After brushing, gently dry the lips with a tissue, and then apply a layer of lipstick for moisturizing.
The above methods are for reference only, and the specific effects may vary from person to person. If there is still residue after removing lipstick, it is recommended to check whether the lipstick product itself has quality problems or consult a professional makeup artist for more specific advice. Meanwhile, maintaining lip health is also one of the important measures to prevent unclean lipstick makeup removal. Regular exfoliation, moisturizing, and sun protection can help reduce lipstick residue and lip problems.
