Selena Gomez Relies on a $478 Serum for Makeup Removal

Cleansing your face with a cleansing balm and lukewarm water is an effective way to start your skincare routine and remove makeup. But did you know that facial serums can also be helpful in makeup removal? Selena Gomez recently shared her skincare routine on TikTok, where she provided some interesting tips. She begins by removing her makeup with the expensive La Mer Concentrate Serum, priced at $478. However, Gomez assures us that any skincare serum can achieve similar results, although it’s recommended to use your preferred makeup remover. She applies a dropperful of the serum to her cheek and gently rubs it onto her eyelids with her middle finger to remove eye makeup delicately. Micellar water is another popular option for makeup removal. After the serum, Gomez uses Bioderma Sensibio H2O Make-up Removing Micelle Solution to further cleanse her face, including stubborn eyelash lines using a miniature beauty sponge soaked in Bioderma. Instead of spraying Dermatologica’s Multi-Active Toner directly on her skin, she sprays it onto a round makeup remover puff pad and rubs the pad on her face with upward strokes. She then applies La Mer’s Renewal Oil and seals it with Tatcha’s Water Cream moisturizer layered with Laneige Radian-C Cream with Vitamin C for a dewy finish. Gomez acknowledges that her La Mer makeup removal method is costly and not feasible for everyone, as she mentions in the captions of her TikTok video that she received most of these products for free. However, she believes in choosing what works best for you. While Allure editors may not be able to keep up with her routine, they recommend sticking to more affordable options such as micellar water and cleansing balms.
