How to remove face gems safely

Whether you’ve worn them all day or all night, face gems are easy to remove with the right steps—so you can protect your skin and be ready for your next look.

1. Peel gently from the edges
Start at one corner and slowly lift the gems away from your skin—avoid pulling too quickly to prevent irritation.

2. Loosen with warm water or oil
If needed, use a little warm water, facial oil, or makeup remover to help dissolve the adhesive for an easier removal.

3. Cleanse your skin
Wash your face with your usual cleanser to remove any leftover adhesive and keep your skin fresh.

4. Soothe & hydrate
Finish with a light moisturiser to calm and hydrate your skin after removal.

Pro tip: Avoid harsh scrubbing—gentle removal keeps your skin happy and ready for your next UNEL look
