MAKEUP REMOVAL ROUTINE- Taking the day off!

After rocking an amazing look during the day, sometimes I am tempted to just jump into bed and sleep off (and sometimes I really do! Lol) but for great blemish-free skin, its best to remove makeup thoroughly. As with most of my skin care routine, I tend to favour creamier, alcohol-free and less drying products as I have dry skin, hence makeup removal is no different for me. Products used may vary for someone with a different skin type, so let’s get started with these easy steps.

EYE MAKEUP REMOVER

Applied with  finger tips and gently swiped over brows eyelids lashes then I use cotton bud soaked in makeup remover to remove eyeliner, mascara from root to tips of lashes.

CLEANSER

I start with a creamy cleanser applied generously all over my face. I use this because its consistency helps to lift off makeup products like foundation and concealer, from the skin easily without drying my skin then I wipe off with a cotton pad. One could also use a dedicated makeup remover at this stage, all a matter of personal preference.

I finish off with a cleanser (which is still soap free). I use this to wash off any oiliness and makeup residue left behind. Sometimes I think I do this step just for the love of having water splash on my face with something to wash off lol!

BLEMISH CONTROL WIPES

 I use this occasionally on those lazy days or when I travel and don’t have my products with me. I swipe all over my face then wash with any facial bar I can reach for. One can use regular baby wipes, I just like that this also fights blemishes at the same time.

I finish off with a splash of toner and a dab of moisturizer.
