If you wear makeup often, you should get into a good routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin every evening. I personally do not use a toner, but many do.
By getting into a good routine of cleansing, you are helping to hold back the aging clock by maintaining your skin in better condition.
First thing you got to do is:
Cleansing will remove all the old makeup that has been on your face throughout the day.
It would also clear away the accumulation of grease and grime that is collected on your face through the day from your working conditions and even from your hands, as many people tend to touch their face frequently throughout the day.
Pull your hair back from your face to ensure that you cleanse all of your skin right to your hairline.
When cleaning off mascara from around the eyes, be very careful not to stretch the skin.
When working around the eyes, use cotton balls or cotton buds to remove the mascara and eye shadow using a quality cleansing lotion. If possible, try not to wear waterproof mascara, as it can be difficult to remove at night.
This is one area that you have to be particularly careful, as the skin is most delicate around the eyes. Very good makeup remove I have personally found and that is very affordable is by Garnier SkinActive called Micellar Cleansing Water. It’s less than $7.00 on Amazon!
There are different types of cleansing products you can apply all over the rest of your face, many are cream based.
Massage the cleansing cream into the skin, particularly those areas where you are prone to blackheads and other skin blemishes are.
By massaging the cleansing cream into the skin, it will help to ensure that any buildup of makeup grease and grime will be removed from the pores of the skin and reduce the possibility of further skin problems such as acne.
Once you have thoroughly applied the cleansing cream all over your face, you can gently remove it with a tissue or cotton ball in preparation for toning. Depending on the cleansing cream you are using, sometimes it is easier to remove it with a warm wet washcloth.
Even though you have used a cleansing cream at night, it is always wise to get into the habit of washing your face first thing in the morning. As well as the rest of your daytime skincare routine, including sunscreen.
Big tip, wait about 20 minutes, if possible after applying your skincare, to apply your foundation. That way it goes on smoother and less chance of looking patchy.
Taking care of your skin is really pretty simple, and by cleansing your face at night before bedtime, you are helping your skin renew itself over time.
