7 Steps to Remove Makeup From Your Face

I never go off to sleep without removing my makeup, no matter how dead tired I am. Removing makeup as soon as you are finished with it is key to keeping gorgeous skin and avoiding breakouts, especially overnight. Do not start by washing your face, this dries out the skin and does not get off most of the makeup.

Do not over exfoliate the skin or use abrasive products. These can damage the skin and leave it looking dull and wrinkled. To properly remove makeup, all you need is a proper facial cleanser and eye makeup remover. The goal is not to rub your face raw and don't forget to wash into the hairline and jawline, especially if you use foundation.

Cleansing solves most of the causes of skin problems as it removes blackheads and sebum that have been blocking pores. What’s The Right Cleansing Method? http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Makeup Gave 7 Steps on how to remove your make up. I just summarize it here.

1.  Remove any eye makeup. Use a gentle makeup remover just for eye makeup. Regular makeup remover can irritate the eyes. Make sure you get most, if not all, of any eyeliner and mascara you had on, as well as some eyeshadow.


2. Steam your pores. Drape a towel over your head and hold it over a sink of hot, steaming water. This opens your pores and dislodges your makeup easier for cleansing. 


3. Remove your lip color. Apply a small dab of petrolatum jelly to your lips, and gently rub it in with a tissue. Fold in the tissue, and blot the lips.


4. Use a gentle face wash. Most of your makeup should come off on this stage. Be sure the face wash is gentle and you don't scrub harshly. Your skin has been covered in makeup all day and it needs to breathe!


5. Remove any eye makeup that ran while you washed your face. It's pretty common to see a bit of mascara or eyeliner under your eyes, and very easy to remove with a dampened cotton swab.


6. Close your pores with a splash of cool water. Rub in some moisturizer to soothe your skin.


7. Pat your face dry with a towel and rub in a light moisturizer. The rigor of the applying of makeup and removal of makeup can dry out your skin in irritation. Soothe this with a light moisturizer. 

Should I Wash My Face Again in the Morning? Your face doesn't get dirty from sleeping on a clean pillowcase, so there's really no need to wash again in the morning. In fact, too much cleansing can dry out skin. If you wake up with an oily sheen, however, splash a bit of warm water on your face to dissolve the oils. You can also press a warm washcloth to face.
