One of the most common mistakes we make when it comes to going to sleep is not removing make-up. When we wake up in the morning we are full of energy and we do not mind spending our time making ourselves beautiful. But when we go to sleep, laziness takes over and we either choose not to remove make-up, or we do it so quickly that it is as if we had not done it. That is why in today’s post we will give you the keys to remove make-up at night in a fast but efficient way.
Tips for removing makeup at night
Remove eyes and lips
Two of the areas where makeup adheres the most and where we will need to place more emphasis are the eyes and lips. For this reason, we must carry out a rigorous cleaning of our mascara, eyeliner, and lipstick before continuing with the rest of the face. In this case, using a blotting paper is recommended.
For our eyes, it would be advisable to use a specific product for this. In this way, you will prevent them from becoming irritated and redness may appear. You should apply it gently, using a cotton ball, always from the inside out and avoiding that your makeup can get into the eyes. Another very effective trick, in case you don’t have a special make-up remover, is to use a little petroleum jelly. Rub it lightly around the eyes and wipe it off.
In the case of the lips, you can use the same product that you use for the rest of the face. You just have to rub your lips gently to remove the lipstick. Be very careful not to spread it too much, as there are long-lasting lipsticks that are very difficult to remove and can make cleaning much more complicated.
Clean up
Perhaps the advice that may seem most obvious to us but in which almost everyone fails, is to cleanse our face. The most common is to do it with water, and there are even those who use their usual gel. However, the ideal is to clean our face with a special cleanser, foam, gel, or cream. In the case of doing it with water, it is best to use a neutral soap.
It is also essential to know how to choose the intensity with which to clean our face. One of the worst things you can do is scrub hard. The skin of the face is more delicate than that of other areas of the body and you can damage it, so we recommend that you use a makeup remover cloth. Of course, doing it delicately is not synonymous with taking it lightly, so you should be careful to reach your entire face and not leave any area uncleaned.
Dry off
Before applying any product, you should dry your skin properly. It is very important to do it with a clean towel, always without rubbing. It is preferable to give small touches until the drops and moisture are removed from the skin. Once your face is completely dry you will be ready to apply the toner you want.
Use a tonic
The next step is optional, we recommend doing it at least a few times a week. After cleaning our face, and even after having passed the towel, it is very possible that traces of dirt remain on our skin. Therefore, it is advisable to apply a tonic that refreshes our skin and eliminates any type of impurity. In addition, it will help restore our face from the products used and balance the PH of our skin.
The choice of toner is personal and will depend on your skin type. Make sure you choose the right toner and, if you think that the one you are using is not ideal, feel free to change over and over again until you find the perfect toner for you.
Hydrate
It is one of the most important parts, but perhaps one of the most extensive in terms of the variety of options. Everyone chooses the moisturizer that best suits them. There are those who choose to use specific cosmetics and there are those who opt for a homemade or natural route. In case you opt for the first option, it is very important to find out about the product you are using, both in terms of its composition and the audience and areas to which it is intended. Of course, it is always recommended that it be used specifically for the face. Avoid using body moisturizers or creams aimed at any other part of the body.
