Removing Make Up at Night
07 17th, 2008 Author: LuvUrSkin
Do you often wake up to raccoon eyes and yesterday’s makeup? From now on, make your #1 skincare priority a commitment to cleanse the face each night before bed — no matter how tired you are.
Start with a gentle, non-irritating eye makeup remover. To thoroughly cleanse the eye area, soak a cotton-pad with a small amount of eye makeup remover, and then hold it gently over the closed eyelid and lashes to loosen eye shadow and mascara. To completely remove mascara, soak one end of a cotton-swab in the product and gently rub the lash line to eliminate any leftover pigment.
Next, wash the rest of the face with a cleanser specifically tailored to your skin type. Got oily skin? Try a formula designed to help normalize the skin and reduce shine.
Massage a small amount of skin cleansing product between wet hands until foamy and then rub the cleanser carefully onto the skin, avoiding the eye area. Rinse well with warm water, pat dry and follow with appropriate skincare treatments and moisturizer.
