The importance of removing makeup properly

If your makeup routine to make yourself more beautiful is a pleasant experience, the routine to remove your make up is equally or even more pleasant for our skin. That's why cleaning our face properly is important when we have been wearing makeup and before we go to bed.
During the night and during rest, our skin regenerates and better absorbs the products we apply. It is therefore important to make sure our skin is clean before applying any treatment for our type of skin to make sure it works as intended.

So what do we need to consider when removing making?

Using non-aggressive products that would otherwise damage our skin over time.
Choose deep cleansing makeup removers, that even get rid of waterproof makeup.
We should start by cleaning our eyes, as this is the most delicate area. We should choose a specific cleanser or use one that is designed for cleaning our eyes. Moisten a disc with the product and place it over our eye. Allow it to work on our eyelashes and eyeliner, and then remove it making sure the eye is clean. There are many two-step products on the market today which contain oils that also treat this sensitive area.
We should then clean the rest of our face. Depending on the type of product we use, cream, soap, gel, oil or balm, we should always follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
When our face is clean, we apply our usual moisturising and nourishing treatment.

Makeup remover balm: how to use it

Cleansing balm is ideal for night cleansing. Because of its creamy-oily texture, it usually comes with a spatula to remove the product.

Apply a little of the product to dry skin, about the size of a peanut and massage the balm into your skin to get rid of any impurities and makeup remains. When we have massaged our face properly, we wipe off the balm using a muslin cloth moistened in warm water. Repeat the process until all product remains have been removed.

The benefits of using this type of cleanser include:

It gets rid of makeup remains, including waterproof makeup, leaving our skin cleaner than other products, since it dissolves the dirt, toxins and impurities.
It is perfect for all skin types. But it is particularly suitable for older and dry skin.
It calms our skin. Apart from containing cleansing agents, it treats our skin because of the oils it contains.
It is suitable for the area around our eyes.
