Best Way To Wash Makeup Off

3c0623cd0318e657_Washing-Face.jpgTo properly remove makeup, all you need is a proper cleanser for face and eye makeup remover. The goal is not to rub your face raw and don't forget to wash into the hairline and jaw line, especially if you use foundation.

To have and maintain a smooth and spotless face you must wash your face very night before going to bed. If you want to wake up with dewy, glowing skin, then you must remove your makeup and sunscreen. Many women use toner because they feel it removes all traces of dirt, oil and makeup; however, most beauty experts agree that toners are pointless. Most cleansers these days do a great job of removing all the muck from even the heaviest of your makeup days. While toner will strip your skin of any makeup, it also removes natural oils, which can be drying. Unless you have super oily skin or just happen to love a product, skip the toner.

There is a myth that baby wipes are good makeup removers. That is a big NO NO. According to beauty expert Laura Mercier of Allure Magazine, "I cringe when I see women using baby wipes to remove their makeup. Those do not get the job done." Women think baby wipes are formulated to be gentle on baby's skin, so therefore it will be gentle on facial skin, Mercier says. Her response to women who think baby wipes are gentle? "Well, a baby's butt isn't covered in makeup that requires special ingredients for proper removal."

Remove your makeup with a mild makeup remover. Although facial cleansers remove all kind of makeup effectively you had better remove it prior to washing your face. Choose a mild makeup remover that suits your skin type and first remove the eye makeup.

Steps to follow:

Splash your face with lukewarm water to prepare your skin for the cleanser and to open your pores for a deeper cleansing.

Place a small amount of the cleansing product on your palm or to a washcloth.Using your fingertips or a brush gently rub the cleanser all over your face. Make sure you cover all areas from chin, forehead, nose, cheeks and neck. Massage your face with gentle circular motions for a minute. Remember: never remove the cleanser immediately after you apply it – let it penetrate your skin for a few minutes

Rinse your face to remove the cleanser. Splash your face with water several times until you feel that the cleanser has rinsed off completely. You can use a face sponge, a muslin cloth or cotton pads to remove the cleansing product.

Rinse your face with cold water to close the open pores and to improve your blood circulation.

Extra tip: To best remove your eye makeup, use a special eye makeup remover on your eyes if you use waterproof mascara. Apply remover to a square cotton pad, and then press down on eyelids and lashes to let it soak in. Gently wipe the pad across eyes to pick up mascara. Go over the eye area with a clean pad until it's makeup-free. (This keeps your towels from getting makeup on them). Eye makeup remover works great on lips to remove long-lasting lip color, as well.
