We all like to wake up each morning feeling fresh and ready to take on the day. For that to happen, you absolutely must get in the habit of removing your make and doing it the right way. We’ve put together your complete how-to guide on removing your makeup the right way.

Your Guide to Makeup Removal

Why It Matters

Makeup is a great way to show off your style, your individuality, and cover things like blemishes. We love makeup too! That being said, when you’re sleeping makeup has no place on your face.

Allowing makeup to stay on your skin overnight has a whole litany of problems. First makeup, even the ones that say they’re good for your skin, can cause serious breakouts if left on too long. No one wants to have to deal with acne, especially when it’s preventable. It gets worse, makeup can dry out your skin and even cause collagen to break down causing wrinkles. Nobody wants that.

This doesn’t just apply to things like foundation. Mascara and eye makeup can lead to eye infections, irritation, and broken eyelashes. Yikes!

Cleansers are Your Friends

A daily cleanser is the first step in removing your make up. Simply put it on your skin, making sure to get along the hairline, behind the ears, and under your chin. Let it sit for a few seconds so it can get absorbed. Then gently wipe the makeup away with a wet, cotton pad. Ta-Da!

A Soft Touch

Removing your makeup should always be done gently. Scrubbing your skin will force makeup deeper into your pores, clogging them and causing acne. Likewise, doing so will dry out your skin and remove its natural sheen. Using a cleansing oil before you start will help to lift makeup from your skin and allow it to come off easier. This is especially helpful for getting mascara off of your eyelids, as the skin there is more sensitive.

The Power of Steam

If you have a few extra minutes to get your makeup off, steaming your face before you get started can make a big difference. Fill a bowl with hot water and hover over it. The steam will open pores, making it easier for your cleanser to go deeper to remove dirt and makeup.

The Importance of Moisturizer

So you’ve gone through all the necessary steps of removing your makeup, but you’re not done yet. The last step is one of the most important. Moisturizing your skin after you clean it, replaces the necessary oils and nutrients to your skin that got removed while you were taking your makeup off. A gentle moisturizer will get your skin back in tip-top shape and have you looking recharged first thing you wake up.

 

Removing your makeup before bed is a must. By taking advantage of a few simple things, you can ensure that you’ll wake up every morning with glowing, perfect skin. When it does come time for makeup, trust Beauty Studio Inc Mobile Hair and Makeup to get you looking your best!
