We are thankful for 24hr wear make-up (hello: gym, summer days and long nights outs). But sometimes, usually the next day, you want your squeaky clean fresh face on. Well fam, here’s what you should be packing…
Foundation
You wear it every day and if you’re a “full cover” kinda woman, this can be a problem for your skin. Look for a daily cleanser that will effortlessly remove your foundation while moisturising your skin. Try PCA Skin Facial Wash Oily/Problem (R680). It contains moisturising lactic acid, soothing aloe vera leaf juice and gluconolactone, which gently exfoliates, calms and promotes a clear complexion. Available at Dermastore.

Mascara
A beauty staple for gym sessions, rom-coms and weddings! First, the eyes are a sensitive area, so you want to be gentle. Second, water-resistant mascara needs oil – and plenty of it. Try Garnier Micellar Oil-infused Cleansing Water (R100). It’s a gentle, skin-supporting cleansing solution formulated for dry and sensitive skins. Its oil-infused formulation helps to remove even the toughest of mascaras. Available at Clicks.

Lip Stains
Who doesn’t love a lip stain? Hours of non-smearing and feathering fabulousness! Not so fab when you try to remove it… Stains rely on water-soluble dyes, so the best way to remove them is with a gentle exfoliation. Try NYX Professional Makeup #ThisIsEverything Lip Scrub (R100). It easily sloughs off dead skin, leaving your lips feeling moisturised and luxurious. Bonus: Zero parabens and sulphates. Available Clicks.
