After a long day, removing makeup is probably the last thing we feel like doing. Honestly, you can be lazy to do anything but not skipping this single most important part of the daily skincare routine because bedtime is the time when your skin rests and regenerates. Also it’s absolutely important to remove your makeup the right way. Sounds too difficult to do? Don’t worry, we’re here to help! Pull your hair backThe first step is simple – pull your hair back. Tie your hair into a ponytail so your entire face and hairline can be exposed. Since a lot of makeup builds up around your hairline, if it left unwashed, it can cause unsightly blemishes along your temple. Optimal amount of removerWhether you’re using makeup remover, moisturiser or essential oil to remove the makeup, don’t douse the makeup removal pads, keep the amount of remover to a minimum. There is absolutely no need to douse the pads completely. It’ll be just as effective, not to mention it’ll save you money in the long run.
No scrubbingEven you are finding it difficult to remove every last bit of mascara, always remember no scrubbing. Instead hold the pad in place, allow the saturated cloth to melt your makeup gently. For stubborn bits, dip a cotton swap in your remover and dab as needed.
Wash your faceAfter you remove your makeup, make sure you wash your face with a gentle foam cleanser to clear away any dirt or grime left behind. After your face is thoroughly cleaned, pay close attention to your skin and see if it’s looking a little parched, if so, skip the step of applying toner, because applying toner could be causing dryness and irritation.
