Removing face glitter using an oil based makeup remover
Oil-based makeup remover is great for removing face paints and eco glitter with strong pigments, breaking down both glitter and colour transfer. Massage it onto the skin, let it sit, then wipe away with a cotton pad or cloth. Alternatively, press an oil-infused cleansing wipe onto the glitter, swipe in circular motions, and use the edge for stubborn spots. Rinse if needed.

Removing Body Glitter
To remove body glitter, apply a generous amount of oil (like coconut or baby oil) and massage it in to break down the glitter. Let it sit for a few seconds, then wipe away with a soft cloth or cotton pad. For quicker removal, use an oil-infused cleansing wipe, pressing it onto the skin before swiping in circular motions. Finish with a gentle rinse to remove any residue.

Removing Hair Glitter
To remove hair glitter, start by brushing through dry hair with a fine-tooth comb to loosen excess glitter. Then, wash your hair with a gentle shampoo to rinse away any remaining particles. For stubborn spots, use a piece of tape to lift glitter from the roots before washing.
Top Tip: Removing Glitter from Clothes
For easy glitter removal from clothes, use a lint roller or strong tape, pressing firmly and lifting straight off instead of rubbing. Shake the fabric first to remove loose glitter, and for stubborn spots, try packing tape.
