The secret to showing off perfect skin is based on three pillars: cleansing, hydration and sun protection. Therefore, a mistake that you should avoid at all costs is going to bed without removing your makeup.
Makeup penetrates the pores of the skin, dirtying and clogging them. If we do not remove it correctly, we run the risk of damaging the protective barrier of the dermis, suffering from irritation, acne, excess sebum or dryness, depending on our complexion.
In addition to makeup, the face also gets dirty from cosmetic products, sweat, dust, and pollution. Let’s see the definitive make-up removal routine to remove all impurities from the face.
To remove eye makeup, use a specific product for the area, as it is especially sensitive. Choose one that contains oil if you want to remove waterproof mascara. Avoid rubbing around the eyes, as it is very delicate skin.
For the rest of your face makeup, you can use a micellar water, balm, or oil-based cleanser. The choice will depend on your preferences and your skin type. Oily formulas are especially beneficial for dry and sensitive skin.
And, contrary to what many believe, the oil is very effective in removing makeup and excess sebum in oily skin. As long as it is accompanied by a double cleaning with another water-based product. If you opt for micellar water, you should know that it is a myth that they do not need rinsing.
After removing makeup, it’s time for a second cleaning to remove all traces and impurities from the face. Choose a soap or gel for combination or oily skin, or a cleansing milk for dry or sensitive skin.
Once a week, exfoliate to help renew the skin by removing dead cells. It is also very beneficial for unclogging pores and diminishing blemishes.
The toner refreshes the skin and balances its pH, while helping to remove any remaining dirt from the face.
Apply a treatment serum with the active ingredients that best favor your skin type. Hyaluronic acid to hydrate and prevent wrinkles, salicylic acid for clogged pores, niacinamide to combat dark spots, etc.
An ally to fight against wrinkles, expression lines, bags and dark circles. Gently dab it on, always without scrubbing the area.
End your routine with a specific moisturizer for your skin. Whether anti-wrinkle, nourishing for dry skin, mattifying for oily skin, or soothing for sensitive or rosacea skin.
