10 Tips for Effective Makeup Removal

How do I know if my makeup removal is effective?

In the long run , you will know that you are removing makeup correctly when your skin is clean , pores are not blocked , skin is not excessively dry or excessively oily . Of course , you will also check whether you are removing makeup effectively at the end of the day . It is worth remembering that the last cotton pad you wipe your face with should be completely clean . It does not matter whether it is a cotton pad with which you apply micellar fluid or toner , it is important that you are sure that there is not a gram of color cosmetics , filters and cream on your face .

What happens when makeup removal is not thorough?

Even when you don't wear makeup , during the day your skin secretes a protective layer of fat - sebum , which is supposed to protect it from moisture loss and protect it from atmospheric factors and drying out . Every day , and especially if you live in a polluted city , dust, air pollution , dirt settle on your skin , creating a mixture with a layer of fat , and we are talking about a person who does n't wear makeup . Add to this layers of cosmetics - cream , foundation base , concealer, foundation , highlighter , or maybe you use a sunscreen ? All of this oxidizes , flakes , mixes with external impurities and skin secretions such as sebum and sweat, which is why you ca n't afford to put off removing your makeup until the morning . Night is the time when the skin regenerates and needs to breathe . So if you want to avoid blemishes , clogged pores , dry , chapped lips , irritated eyes and premature wrinkles remember to always wash your face in the evening , whether you wear make - up or not .

How to remove makeup effectively?

We have prepared 10 tips for you that will help you remove your makeup super effectively , so that your skin can work on your beauty while you sleep soundly .

1. Choose your weapon. Do you know your skin well? Do you know what is important to you? Maybe you like to treat yourself to a SPA experience in the evening? Then Korean-style skincare may be a bull's eye. Or maybe you are busy and pragmatic? Makeup is supposed to beautify you, but you don't like spending a lot of time removing it? Then think about a micellar or a make-up removal glove . Know your needs and the needs of your skin and choose from natural soaps, cleansing oils, gels, foams, make-up removal creams or reusable cloths, cotton pads or gloves.

2. Routine can be healthy , and that's it , especially when it comes to beauty and health . Our body loves regularity . The skin of the face should be washed twice a day , morning and evening . In the morning, you wash off sweat and sebum from the skin and what stuck to them from the pillow ( remember to change pillowcases often , and you will avoid many infections and surprises ), and in the evening all the layers of makeup and dirt that have settled on your face throughout the day . Too much washing is not good at all , because it can destroy the hydrolipid coat and cause irritation , redness of the epidermis and dry skin. However, there is one exception to the rule - when you go to work out . We know that you prefer to watch yourself doing sports in makeup , because it masks flushing and makes you look like the best version of yourself , but ... it makes no sense to take care of your body and destroy your skin at the same time . Therefore, always wash off your makeup before a solid workout . You can always throw the GLOV Travel Set into your bag and you do n't need any additional cosmetics . Some stores also provide free milks and cotton pads so you can remove your make-up, but unfortunately you don't know what quality the cosmetics are , so we recommend removing make-up this way only in exceptional situations .

3. Always start removing makeup from your lips! This is the only way to avoid spreading lipstick all over your skin. Next, remove your eye makeup . 4. Eye makeup removal is important and requires different cosmetics than the rest of your face . You may love your face wash , natural soaps or cleansing oil , but the truth is that they are not suitable for washing the delicate skin around the eyes and eyelashes . Choose a cosmetic designed specifically for these areas , preferably two-phase , or use GLOV Quick Treat , which will suck mascara and eyeshadows deep into its fibers without rubbing the delicate eye area . Also remember that your eyelashes and eyelids should be completely clean when you go to bed . The panda effect , or crumbled mascara , is a sign that you have n't removed your makeup thoroughly . 5. Be gentle. Effective make-up removal does not mean aggressive rubbing and pulling of the skin! This way you may remove the cosmetics from your face, but you will also stretch the skin, irritate it and cause premature wrinkles, and you do not want that! 6. Remember that removing makeup and washing your skin are not the same. Especially when you wear a lot of makeup. Removing layers from your skin is one thing, but then you have to wash your skin . So first you can remove your makeup with micellar fluid , but then it would be good to wash your skin with soap or gel . Finally, you need to tone it to restore its natural pH. Now is also the time to apply a serum or night cream , although not all skin types need it . If you struggle with oily skin , you can try cream-free nights and see what the effect will be . 7. This is our pro tip that many people forget about. The truth is that sometimes simple advice is the best. Instead of aggressively rubbing your skin, let the cosmetic or water (if you use GLOV ) do its thing. Place a cotton pad or glove on your skin, let the makeup dissolve, gently vibrate the material without rubbing, and the layers will start to come off by themselves.

8. Always wash it off ! Whether you use a make - up remover , micellar fluid , gel or oil , remember to always wash your face with clean water at the end . This can be tap water , you don't have to use mineral or boiled water at all . Just make sure that the chemicals do n't stay on your skin all night , even if the manufacturer says they can . 9. Use warm water. This advice is not without sense! If you use water that is too cold, your skin will not be cleansed. When you use water that is too hot, it is also not very effective, and in addition, you irritate the skin and can get irritations or broken capillaries. 10. Treat make-up removal as sacred. Or maybe you can turn it into an ultra-pleasant personal ritual and combine it with, for example, expressing gratitude ? Just think of five things you are grateful for that day. The moment of make-up removal can also serve to practice mindfulness . You can find many tips on this topic on the internet , and combining make-up removal with relaxation and closing the past day will make not only your skin, but also your head regenerate at night, so that in the morning you will have the strength to fulfill your dreams and goals.
