We know makeup techniques, we know how to make the perfect eyeliner and even what products to combine to obtain the most striking eye shadow, but what do we know about face cleaning?
If you wear makeup, you may have seen that only washing your face doesn’t always result in clean skin. Cleaning your face at night is not just about using micellar water or creams.
You must follow a routine to remove makeup in the best possible way.
Read on to find out six pro tips for properly removing your makeup before going to bed at night.
Why do you have to remove your makeup?
Even if you had a hectic and complicated day, it is essential to clean your face before going to sleep. Failure to do so will start the problems of acne, dry skin, early appearance of wrinkles, and even infections and irritation in the eyes caused by chemicals in beauty products.
1. Start with the eyes
The vast majority of eyeliners or mascara have waterproof formulas that do not run or stain us. The lasting effect of these products remain so attached to the eyelashes and eyelids that they are difficult to remove only with water, so you have to use an oil-based make-up remover.
Close your eyes, and place a cotton pad with makeup remover on your eyelids for ten seconds. In this way, cotton absorbs makeup particles. That way, you don’t have to rub them and cause some damage or break your eyelashes.
2. Remove the blush, illuminator, and base
The best to remove the rest of the makeup is the gel, foam, tonic, or micellar water. You must ensure that they are specific to your skin type, whether it is oily, mixed, dry, or mature. Use a cotton pad, gently remove the makeup from the inside out.
3. Do not forget about the nose
With a dry pad, remove excess makeup, especially in the part of the nose and under the eyes.
4. Wash your face very well
After removing everything, wash your face with soap and water. Remember that warm water is the best option because that way you do not eliminate the natural oils that your skin generates, instead if you do it with hot water, you will open the pores and allow the entry of particles that will damage your dermis.
5. Dry your face with a specific towel
Buy a small towel that is exclusive to your face. Choose the softest ones so that the fibers do not harm your face; when drying, do it with soft touches instead of rubbing it.
6. Hydrate
Once your skin is clean, apply a tonic or moisturizer at night, so you will avoid the formation of premature wrinkles and have a radiant skin when you wake up.
So now, don’t ever forget to remove your makeup before going to sleep; just follow these six simple tips and have beautiful clear skin.
