Makeup Removal: 3 Tips For Blemish-free Skin

You’ve completed your night-time haircare routine and you’re ready for bed. But not so fast! There are still some beauty products sitting on your face. It may be a shame to wipe off your carefully crafted makeup, but you can’t leave it on when you sleep.

Even if you wore no makeup and used only facial cream, oils, dust particles and product residues can clog your pores. This could lead to acne breakouts and other unsightly skin issues you really don’t want. If you’ve been wearing makeup all day, it’s time to allow your skin to breathe.

So, before you hit the sack, be sure to remove your makeup and cleanse your face thoroughly. Keep reading to learn some makeup removal hacks for a blemish-free and youthful glow.

Use A Gentle Cleanser

The first step to removing makeup effectively is cleansing. A mild cleanser will assist with the removal process without being rough on your skin. It is particularly beneficial for people with sensitive skin, but it’s important that you use a product suitable for your skin type.

When it comes to cleansing, start with your eye makeup. Don’t forget to remove your mascara, otherwise, it could flake off into your eyes or cause severe dryness to your eyelashes. To remove your mascara and eye makeup thoroughly, apply a remover on a cotton pad and wipe it over your closed eyes.

As always, be careful not to be too aggressive when cleansing around your eye area. It’s also a good idea to wipe from the inside out to avoid the risk of wrinkles and fine lines developing around your skin.

Follow Up With A Toner

Toner provides an added cleansing step after you’ve rinsed off your facial cleanser. Using a toner gets rid of the last traces of grime, dirt, oil or any other impurity stuck in your pores after washing. Add this to your skincare routine, and you’ll notice the tightness of your pores and an improvement in your skin appearance.

Toners contain some vital ingredients, so they can be a great way of adding antioxidants, vitamins and retinoids to your existing products. Toner is easy to apply and takes a minute to complete. All you have to do is pour a few drops of the toner of your choice on a cotton pad and wipe it across your skin.

Moisturise Your Skin

Complete the three-step makeup removal with a moisturiser so that your skin looks and feels fresh and smooth every day. You need to apply moisturiser for a better complexion, no matter which cleansing option, toner or makeup you fancy. Moisturising keeps your skin from drying out and helps lock in more hydration for a plump and healthy appearance.

One common mistake some people make is to skip this step because their skin is naturally oily. The truth is all skin types need hydration, so you must moisturise even if your skin is prone to acne or is naturally oily. Besides, moisturisers do not add extra water, but rather help retain moisture in your skin’s outer layer to keep it hydrated.

Keep in mind that hydrated skin means a healthy complexion. If your skin doesn’t have ample water content, its protective function and appearance will be compromised. Also, prolonged dehydration can put your skin at risk of premature ageing, infection and wrinkles.

While oil-based cleansers may be good for dry skin, a water-based formula or oil-free cleanser is ideal for oily skin. This type of cleanser eliminates excess sebum from your skin without adding more oil.

Bonus Tip: Don’t Forget Your Lips And Hairline

If you did a great job applying a long-lasting lipstick and foundation, there might still be some residues sitting on your lips and your hairline. So, take your time washing your face and make sure you don’t miss these areas.

For your hairline, you might have to get your hair roots wet, but you must still do the cleansing. If not, it might get too oily, or you may develop acne. Wear a headband if you want to protect the edges and make sure your cleanser doesn’t get on your hair. Use micellar water on your lips to remove any residual lipstick.

Conclusion

The skin repairs and rejuvenates itself at night while you sleep, which is why having a good night’s sleep is crucial for your skin’s health. However, having dirty skin full of makeup and other impurities won’t help the natural restoration process. Harmful substances, dirt, and debris can cause various skin issues if left on your skin at night. So, give your face some TLC by following the three-step cleaning process for blemish-free skin.
