After a long exhausting day, or on weekend nights
when you are home in the early hours of the morning, you may be tempted to skip
removing your make-up and jump straight into bed. Although it may not seem like
a big deal, leaving your make-up on overnight can cause your lashes to dry and
break, your pores to clog up and cause breakouts. By simply taking a minute or
two to follow these quick and easy make-up removal tips, you will wake up with
refreshed and happy skin.
Start with removing your eye make-up first. If you
are wearing heavy eye make-up or waterproof mascara try using an oil-based
product. This will quickly dissolve and breakdown the make-up making it easier
to remove. Saturating a cotton wool pad in the eye make-up remover of your
choice, hold the cotton pad against your closed eye for 10-20 seconds.
Placing
the pad against your eye using gentle pressure will allow the make-up remover to
dissolve the make-up, ensuring it will wipe off with ease and with little
rubbing as possible. Remember that the skin around your eye is thinner than the
skin on the rest of your face, so avoid any harsh rubbing. If needed, use a
clean cotton pad to get all traces of mascara, eyeliner and eyeshadow off.
To remove make-up on your face, such as foundation,
blush and bronzer, a selection of products can be used. I like to start with using a make-up wipe and
then follow up with my daily cleanser. This ensures I get all the make-up off
my face and don’t have any leftover traces clogging my pores. Afterwards, rinse
your face with lukewarm water and pat dry with a towel.
An extra step in removing your make-up is the use
of a toner. For those nights where you have a little extra time to spend on
your skin, using a toner can help make you feel refreshed. Applying generously
to a cotton pad, wipe all over your face to remove any traces of make-up, dirt
and oil that your cleanser may have missed.
Hopefully these quick and simple tips will help you
successfully remove your make-up and wake up with refreshed, happy skin. Let me
know in the comments below what you use to take off your make-up at the end of
a long day.
Until next time beauties, have a great day and I will
