The Importance of Removing Makeup

Introduction: The Dangers of Leaving Makeup On and Why You Should Always Remove Your Make-Up

You might wonder why you should remove your makeup every night. There are many reasons for this, one of them being that you will have healthier skin.

One of the key reasons to remove your makeup is that it can clog your pores and cause breakouts. This can lead to more acne or other skin conditions such as rosacea. Another reason is that you might react to the ingredients in your makeup, which could lead to a rash or further irritation.

The Importance of Using Cleansers for Removing Make-Up

After wearing makeup, proper removal is necessary to keep your skin healthy and glowing. A cleanser is a product used to clean the skin and remove dirt, make-up, and other impurities. Although water is a good cleanser, you will need a gentle soap that lathers. The soap binds to the makeup to make washing it from your skin easier.

Finding the right cleanser that suits your skin type is essential. Otherwise, it may dry out or irritate your skin. Cleansers can be used as makeup removers or as a daily routine.

There are many different types of cleansers available in the market. Some are specifically for removing makeup, while others are for general purposes. The best way to find the perfect one for you is to consult a dermatologist or read reviews of the options in the market.  

Consider using a night cream at night

Contrary to popular belief, a night cream is an essential product in your skincare routine, especially if you often wear makeup during the day. Many people think leaving your skin free from moisturizer allows it to ‘breathe,’ but your skin does not actually respire. Using a high-quality lightweight night cream moisturizer will go a long way in rejuvenating your skin at night.

A night cream is beneficial because your skin produces less sebum at night as compared to the day and really needs some help to maintain moisture. Additionally, using active ingredients as your body is in repair mode can support your skin’s cellular repair and turnover processes.

Our Night Light is a lightweight night cream with B vitamins and DMAE that reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation and helps build collagen. This luxurious cream starts rich and disappears within 10 minutes. The dermis rapidly absorbs the nutrient-rich ingredients it contains.

A Simple Makeup Removal Routine

A good makeup removal routine should be simple and easy to follow. Here are some steps that you should follow to create an effective routine for yourself.

1) Clean your face with a gentle but effective cleanser like Daily Detox immediately after you get home. Staying in makeup you have worn all day may make you lazy in removing it. Daily Detox utilizes activated charcoal and a blend of mineral rich clays to detoxify, while avocado emulsifies wax and oil in both waterproof and regular makeup. 

2) Be sure to clean your eyelids, eyebrows, lips, and nose with the same product you used on your face. Getting all of the impurities from your face will help prevent irritation or breakouts.

3) Rinse off the cleanser or soap with water. Rinse your face to eliminate the cleanser on your skin.

4) Pat dry your skin with a towel, then apply a lightweight moisturizer with active ingredients. 

Conclusion

Makeup is fun but do not let it prevent you from having healthy glowing skin. Always take time to remove all the makeup on your face before bed carefully; your skin will support you for years to come.
