Washing Off Concealers

[whoc]

I see a lot of concealers say that you need to use shampoo to wash it off on a regular basis and I am just wondering whether a normal regular soap would be able to wash it away or whether it has to be shampoo. Thanks

it doesn't have to be shampoo. i sometimes use a ph balancing face wash to rinse off my concealer if i screw up and have to restart. heck, even water would work, just not as good. they're not as waterproof as the company claims

Back in the day I would just rinse my hair with water and leave it in (I'd use a little hairspray after brushing). It actually worked well for me and my hair is a bit on the drier side as well. Many people do not wash their hair everyday .

I've always used water, however I have used some brands in the past that were near impossible to get out with water.

[Shampoo]

I am using concealer again during my ugly duckling phase post-op. I sprinkle on some Nanogen in the morning before work after showering and drying my hair. Then I rinse/shampoo it out during my next shower the following morning. It's never been difficult to get it out. In fact I shampoo my hair as I always have and the concealer just comes out when I rinse to get the shampoo out of my hair.
