Especially during the winter months, when skin is usually at its driest, eye makeup remover is rough and strips the delicate eye area of its moisture even more. All that dryness and rubbing and tugging at the skin around the eyes to get that last bit of mascara off inevitably leads to unwanted lines and dark circles. But a girl's gotta remove her eye makeup. So might I suggest the ever-classic and ever-affordable Aquaphor ointment, which is available in the tube, the giant tub, and the tiny tube, which is wonderful for chapped lips or travel makeup-removal (the uber-serious TSA agent at the New Orleans airport confiscated my giant tub on my return-trip even though the S.F. TSA was cool about it because it only had a few ounces of product left, not that I'm bitter or anything).
Anyway, this ointment (and the generics at chain drugstores) will effectively remove all traces of your eye makeup without stripping the skin. In fact, in leaves the eye area feeling moist without feeling greasy. And unlike some eye makeup removers which are alcohol-based, this stuff won't irritate if it gets in your eyes. It's also much more cost effective. And highly useful for other purposes including its label-designated use: dry, chapped skin. It's great for wintery elbows, knees, and feet (especially overnight with a pair of cotton socks). And it makes a phenomenal lip balm for chapped lips. Not to name names, but you'll never go back to $26 Bi-Facil again.
