Every morning, in order to wash the makeup off my face, I take a ful shower. Why would I do that?

I do not understand the mechanics of washing your face in the sink.

Maybe I was raised all wrong, but I just don't nkow HOW it needs to be done. Now usually, I just put water in my hands, splash it on my face, add soap, and then repeat.

What I usually end up with is a slightly moist face, a drenched chest and stomach, and burning eyes 'cause the soap never washed off. I've tried for YEARS to figure this out, and never have.

Eventually, I just gave up, and jumped in the shower to wash my face. If I'm gonna get soaked, at least I can get soaked in a place I know I won't mind it.

Dammit, I can't sleep.

I feel your pain, sister. I am absolutely horrible at washing my face in the sink. I have found, however, that a handy washcloth will assist in both keeping the rest of you dry and keeping the soap out of your eyes... That's the only way I prevent myself from showering to wash my face. :)

hugs!!

Plus it provides gentle exfoliation. Isn't that a great word? Exfoliate. Of course, every time I hear that word, I imagine that the person is removing trees and brush from their face.
No shrubs though. The shrub is in the White House...

I share this inability to properly wash my facemeats in the sink. Where it came from, I do not know.

I learned early on to fear the sink, after several occasions where it was used to wash my hair. My three-foot-long, extra-thick hair. It FILLED THE ENTIRE SINK.

In retrospect, it's kind of funny. At the time, I was small and terrified of being pulled down the drain.

I don't like getting my clothes wet, so I do the same thing. Washing face becomes part of shower-activity. Its really not meant to be done, unless you do it with a damp washcloth (which I don't recommend, because you can rub the makeup into your eyes >_<)

You are not alone.

One time, I even came close to drowning myself attempting it. Now, I'll just rinse off lightly. Anything more, and there's far too much water involved for safety. It's certainly not enough to wash off anything serious like makeup.

I use little makeup-removal pads, moisted with a little bit of warm water. One side to remove foundation, blush and lipstick, the other side to remove eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. Then what's left can be wiped off with a facecloth.
