Make-up: 4 Steps to Clean your Skin before going to Bed!

Make-up, when applied daily, requires dedication. But removing it before bedtime requires an even greater commitment, as tiredness or laziness can speak louder than the will to maintain healthy skin.

Celebrities known for their beauty, such as Jennifer Lopez, often state in interviews that one of their secrets is to never go to bed without removing the make-up. It makes perfect sense as this is a mandatory ritual to have a beautiful complexion and prevent premature aging.

It is while sleeping that your skin regenerates. But for this to happen, it must be clean and with clear pores. If you sleep without removing the makeup, the skin stops breathing and is susceptible to the appearance of imperfections, pimples and redness. Prolonged exposure to free radicals that attracted during the day further contributes to the degradation of collagen.

Besides the skin, the eyelashes should also receive some care, since sleeping with mascara can leave them dry and brittle. In addition, this product may enter the eyes, causing irritation.

To maintain healthy skin and fight against aging it is therefore essential to create a daily cleaning routine and use appropriate and quality products. Follow our tips to effectively remove makeup before bed.

4 Steps to an Effective Cleaning Routine:

To properly clean the skin, do not just brush your face with soap and water. There are some key steps you must take to ensure that you properly remove makeup and leave your complexion moisturized.

Follow these 4 tips and see the differences: more cleansing, toning and moisturizing. Your skin will be refreshed and radiant every day.

1. Remove make-up from eyes and face

Remove the eye makeup first, then remove it from the face and décolleté. Use micellar oil or make-up remover milk that allows a gentle cleaning and leaving the face soft.

Use more than one cotton disc to properly clean the skin. Avoid using make-up remover wipes on a daily basis as these have an aggressive effect on the complexion and should only be used in case of SOS.

2. Wash the face with gel or cleansing foam

Removing make-up from the face is just the first step in your skin cleansing routine as waste and dirt do not go away that easily. Just as we make-up (by layers: primer, foundation, powder, etc.), we should also remove makeup.

So the second step is to use a gel or cleaning foam that ensures an effective hygiene without having to rub the face with intensity.

3. Apply tonic to close the pores

The tonic removes the last traces of dirt or impurities that may exist on the skin. Its application helps to close the pores and to tone the complexion, besides allowing a better penetration of the moisturizing agents.

4. Moisturize skin with night cream

Removing make-up can leave your skin quite dry. Therefore, it is essential to close your cleansing routine with the application of a night cream that moisturizes, refreshes and promotes cell renewal.

Choose a cosmetic suitable for your skin type and your specific needs (firming or anti-dark spots, for example).

To have healthy and cared skin, follow this cleaning routine step by step. Remember: If you remove your makeup before bed, you will be rejuvenating!
