Take your make-up off with as much care as putting it on
We spend so much time putting effort into applying our make-up and ensuring we look picture perfect, but what about taking it off?
Choosing the perfect cleansing items for your skin can take time and effort but how about when we actually use them?
The skin on our face is delicate and easily damaged, so we need to make sure it's not just gentle cleansing products, but how we use them too.
Facialist Teresa Tarmey says: "Using a face wipe is a great way to make sure you cleanse and tone, removing make=up at the same time to ensure your pores aren't blocked.
"Wiping haphazardly as you get into bed will get rid of your make-up, but learning how to wipe without stretching your skin and minimising pressure will reduce any damaging effects.
“Skin is the foundation for looking beautiful, so taking care of it is crucial. Removing makeup in the wrong way can not only irritate the skin but promote premature aging, causing fine lines and uneven complexion.”
Here she shares her top tips on the right way to remove makeup using Johnson’s Makeup Be Gone wipes:
Step 1
Start by using the wipe on your forehead, from the middle to the left, then back to the middle and to the right. This will help smooth the skin gently whilst removing make-up.
Step 2
For the eye area, wrap the wipe around your ring finger, exposing the other side and gently sweep it across the lids towards the outer corners. Using the wipe like this gives you more control and will get right around your eye. The fore or middle fingers will apply too much pressure for the delicate skin here.
Step 3
Make sure the wipe is fresh and moist and use on your skin gently. For your cheeks, repeatedly sweep the wipe upwards towards your ears so you’re lifting your skin. Dragging them downwards can cause the skin to sag.
Step 4
Try to support the skin so it’s not being pulled unnecessarily. Do this by using your first three finds on the opposite hand to the wiping hand, to hold the skin in place.
