Face is a very delicate part of our body, and window to our personality. If not taken care of properly it may harm our skin’s health. Make up is every girl’s best friend, but one should remember even though make up accentuates our features, if kept for more than 6 hrs it will start harming our skin.
So here are few tips on make-up removal.
– First apply oil or cleanser all over your face, and then massage it. Let it work for a min or 2 and the wipe it off with cotton pad.
– Make-up stays on our skin for few hours so it gets settled into our skin pores ,so after cleansing, first thing to do is:
- Take some warm water.
- Wet a washcloth in it.
- Now gently place to your face, take a breather.
- And rub in circular motion all over your face.
- Do this 2 – 3 times and it will remove all the dirt & make up, this wont let it settle into your pores as warm water opens your pores and rubbing with the cloth will remove it from inside.
- Try to use cleanser after this procedure. If you follow this, I swear by, it will take 2min extra but your skin will thank you for this and you will save lots of cotton pads and your expensive cleanser. And you will feel refreshed to go to bed.
– After this step fininsh it up by using toner.
– For dry skin or combination skin, oils like coconut or olive oil are natural and best way to remove hard make-up. Just take few drops massage it all over and clean it by little watered cotton pad
– For oily skin, baby oil works wonders and also one can use mild cleanser.
– You can also use cleansing sprays that are available in market and then cleanse it with cotton pad or a soft cloth. Or make your own cleansing spray by mixing few drops of oil, 2 parts baby lotion and 3/4partsdistilled water and add it into spray bottle.
After removing make up:
– After thorough cleansing and then toning
– Apply your favourite night cream, we stress on night creams because night is the time skin is free of other pollutants and you pores are open to work , so moisturizing with the best night cream will repair and nourish it wonderfully.
– Apply sliced cucumber or potato on your eyes for few min while you rest on you bed. Do this alternate day or once a week
Caution:
– Always remember to remove make up before bed
