REMOVE MAKE-UP BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP. YES!

Beautiful skin needs daily cleansing:

Even if removing make-up after a long day might not be your favourite thing to do, these quick and easy tips and tricks will help you.

WHY TAKE THE TIME TO REMOVE MAKEUP WHEN YOU WOULD RATHER GO TO BED?

You’re coming home late and would love to just fall into bed, right? You should always remove make-up and cleanse skin in the evening. Here’s why.

1. Make-up, sweat and dirt could clog your pores

If make-up stays on your face, the skin fat can’t drain properly which can lead to clogged pores and impurities. Even if you don’t use any make-up, cleansing in the evening is very important. During the course of the day, dust and skin particles and bacteria stick to your skin. Removing the traces of the day from your pores will effectively prevent blackheads and pimples.

2. Residue on the skin can accelerate skin ageing

Pollutants also stick to your skin during the day. If you don’t cleanse your face, those substances can trigger oxidative stress and promote the formation of wrinkles.

3. Skin regeneration can be slowed down

While we sleep, the skin works at full speed and increasingly forms new cells. Make-up and dirt can interfere with that process. You should remove your make-up in the evening so that the regeneration process can take place unhindered at night. With supplementary night care you support your skin in cell renewal and promote a fresh complexion in the morning.

4. Mascara can damage your eyelashes

Waterproof mascara should be completely removed every evening because residues of mascara can damage your eyelashes.

TIPS FOR REMOVE MASCARA RIGHT: SAY NO TO PANDA EYES

If you leave mascara on your eyelashes overnight, the fine hairs might break.

Water-soluble mascara can gently be removed with micellar water. If you need to remove waterproof mascara, micellar cleansing wipes or special eye make-up removers are a good choice.

Soak pad with eye make-up remover or micellar water.
Apply with light pressure to your closed eyelid, allow to soak for a short time – the mascara will dissolve smoothly.
After a few seconds wipe the mascara carefully with a cotton pad downward or from the inside to the outside.
Be careful: it’s important to be as gentle as possible. Mechanical stress such as heavy rubbing or scrubbing can irritate the sensitive skin around the eyes, which may lead to redness and wrinkles.
