Every day that you apply make-up to your face, you should also be removing make-up. Washing off your make-up daily will help you keep your skin looking young and fresh.
Why is make-up removal so important? Mainly because coloured cosmetics left on the skin for too long become nothing more than an element of pollution on your skin. Remnants of make-up (e.g. foundation) together with flaky skin clog pores. This can consequently lead to the formation of skin blemishes.
Proper facial make-up removal step by step :
1. Wash your hands!
2. eye make-up removal
Apply a suitable eye cleanser (e.g. micellar lotion or oil) to a cotton swab.
Then, apply it to the eye and leave it like that for about 20 - 30 seconds. The idea is to let the liquid start to dissolve the make-up. When you feel the cotton pad glide easily over your skin, remove the make-up towards the inner corner of your eye (never the other way around!).
3. cleaning the eyelashes
Soak an ear stick with eye deco product and gently remove any remaining mascara with the stick.
4. Cleansing the lips
The best way to remove lipstick from your lips is with oil, it can be regular olive oil or the liquid you used to wash your eyes with will do the job too!
5. face and neck make-up removal
Here, a micellar make-up remover for the face will be reliable; as above, soak cotton pads in the liquid and perform make-up removal in gentle and circular motions starting from the centre to the outside of the face.
When you reach the neck do these movements from the bottom to the top of the neck, never the other way round!
6. facial cleansing gel/foam
At this point, you have only just got rid of your make-up superficially. Now it's time to wash your skin and cleanse it properly. To do this, choose a gentle facial cleansing foam or gel adapted to your skin type. Rub the gel gently into the palms of your hands and apply to the entire face with circular motions. Then rinse off with warm water.
7. tonic and cream
Finally, use a facial toner and apply cream 🙂
