Virtually all women feel capable of putting on makeup perfectly and removing makeup is considered simple and something that does not require special skills. But, many women make mistakes when removing makeup that can affect the skin, promoting the early appearance of wrinkles and pimples.
What are these mistakes and how to avoid them? Here are the 7 most common mistakes women make when removing makeup.
Mistake №1: Go to bed with makeup
Some girls go to bed with painted eyes and makeup on their faces. In fact, this is an unacceptable mistake. No matter how tired you are, you need to make an effort to remove your makeup. If you don’t, the first thing you’ll get is makeup-stained sheets. Second, what you will achieve is irritation and inflammation of the skin.
Mistake №2: remove makeup only with wipes and more nothing.
Today, many cosmetic brands produce thousands of types of makeup remover wipes. But these remove only the visible part of the cosmetic and do not do a deep cleaning of the skin. After using them, you need to wash your face with foam or gel, which is suitable for your skin type. You can use micellar water that is used to remove make-up from your face, eyes and lips and does not need rinsing, since its formula cleanses and tones at the same time and without the need to rub.
Mistake №3: Not removing makeup before bathing
While some women only remove makeup with makeup remover wipes, others simply wash off with water. But this is also a mistake, first you need to clean your face with wipes, foam or cleansing cream, and only then you wash off. This is due to the fact that water alone cannot remove all traces of makeup.
Mistake №4: remove eye makeup quickly
How much time do you spend removing eye makeup? Some do it in seconds, but it has its consequences. Traces of shadows, eyeliner or mascara will remain in some parts of the eye. So do not rush, you need to apply a cotton pad with remover for 10-20 seconds, on the eye, and then gently rub the skin.
Mistake №5: making a lot of effort to remove makeup
There is no need to rub the skin so hard and apply pressure to it to better remove makeup. This will only cause irritation and contribute to the appearance of wrinkles.
Mistake №6: wash with very hot water
The mistake that many women make in thinking that they wash their face with hot water will help to better remove all bacteria from the skin. But no, it doesn’t work and it will only aggravate the situation. Washing should be with water at room temperature or slightly warm (lukewarm water).
Mistake # 7: Frequent exfoliation
Many customary women still do daily peels. By doing this, you will harm your skin. The use of these equipment exfoliating products, or homemade scrubs, are perfect but 1 time or 2 times a week, but no more. Otherwise, the skin will lose its protective function, and it will be overly sensitive and irritated.
