Removing tubing mascara

• Step-by-step removal of tubing mascara
• Common mistakes
• Why dermatologists are enthusiastic about tubing mascaras

• Tubing mascara can be safely removed with warm water, without cleanser.
• The '30-second rule' is essential for success.
• Dermatologists find tubing mascara ideal for protecting eyelashes and the skin around the eyes.

1. Preparation:

Take a clean cotton pad (not tissue!) and dip it in lukewarm water. The cotton pad should be thoroughly soaked, but not dripping. 

2. The 30-second rule:

Hold the soaked cotton pad gently against your closed eyelid for 30 seconds. The tubes will come off on their own. Use only light pressure; there is no need to rub your eyes. Gently sliding movements are fine. 

3. Take your time:

Especially if you have applied several layers or feel that there is still mascara residue. Repeat step 2 with slightly warmer water. Avoid oil or alcohol-based removers. The tubes will come loose if you use slightly warmer water.

4. Aftercare:

Optional: Cleanse with a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser.
Optional: moisturizing cream.

Too hot water:

This dries out your skin and eyelashes. Use lukewarm water.

Too much friction:

The great thing about tubing mascara is that you can remove it without applying too much pressure. Avoid rubbing as much as possible, as this can irritate your eyelashes and skin.

Use of oil:

Tubing mascara and oil do not mix well. When using an oil-based remover, the tubes come loose disproportionately. This causes you to apply more pressure or friction, which is unnecessary.

Heavy removers:

You don't need anything more than warm water. Don't put unnecessary strain on your skin by using heavy cleaners.

Polymers such as acrylates react to heat. They come off without pulling or rubbing. According to dermatologists, this is a safe method for people with sensitive eye areas.

Traditional removers often require friction, which can lead to lash loss and skin irritation. Tubes avoid this: they glide away when you gently loosen them with water. Dermatologists and makeup experts emphasize that this process protects lash health and minimizes irritation.

Dr. Amy Spizuoco: Tubing mascaras are particularly suitable for people with allergies or sensitive eyes: "Removing them with just warm water prevents friction and therefore irritation.

Removing tubing mascara doesn't have to be a struggle. With a warm, gentle approach, your lashes stay strong and your skin stays calm. The right technique—30 seconds of warmth, light pressure, no friction—makes all the difference.
