If you don’t establish the correct way to wash your face, remove makeup, protect yourself from the sun, and apply makeup, no matter how many bottles of skin care you use, no matter how expensive your facial treatments or cosmetic treatments are, it will all be in vain. Clean your skin thoroughly and say goodbye to acne!
Cosmetics generally contain ingredients such as oils, powders and pigments. The most effective way to remove makeup is by using cleansing oil “oil-dissolved oil”. As long as you know how to choose, cleansing oil is still the most gentle and gentle choice for your skin. The following is a demonstration of how to remove makeup using cleansing oil…
Step 1.
Keep your hands and face dry.
Don’t: Don’t add water first! Cleansing oil with water added first = cleansing milk that has been emulsified first, so the makeup-dissolving effect will be less than half, and it will not be able to be removed cleanly.
Step 2.
Pour enough cleansing oil onto your hand to fill it up.
Don’t: Too little! Too small an amount of cleansing oil will not push smoothly on the face.
Don’t: Still don’t add water! If it is difficult to push, and you add water at this step to find it easier to push, the function of the cleansing oil will be almost useless.
Step 3.
Gently rub your hands together to spread the cleansing oil all over your palms.
Don’t: Don’t use a makeup remover sponge! The best way to remove makeup is with your hands rather than using a cotton pad to avoid excessive friction.
Step 4.
Distribute the cleansing oil evenly all over your face.
Even distribution is the key, because you must remove every area to avoid local acne.
Step 5.
First, rub the roots of eyelashes in very small circles to remove eyeliner, then remove mascara in 10 strokes from side to side. You can also use eye makeup remover to remove mascara, eyeliner, and eye shadow before removing the entire face. If you don’t wear eye makeup, you can skip this step.
Note: Keep your eyes closed tightly when removing makeup, massaging, or flushing to avoid any makeup remover penetrating the eyes and causing discomfort.
Step 6.
The massage areas are divided into forehead, cheeks, cheeks, nose, nose, eyes, and chin.
Each area must be massaged at least 20 times, so don’t be lazy. However, the full face massage should not take more than 2 minutes.
Don’t: Don’t just massage your cheeks wildly, be careful to remove the makeup and turn it into Guan Gong’s face!
Note: Don’t just draw two circles randomly, otherwise the powder will easily get stuck in the pores and skin texture grooves, and the makeup will need enough massage time to be completely dissolved.
Step 7.
Add water several times and massage your face until the water that comes out is transparent and does not have any milky white color, then the emulsification is complete.
Don’t: Don’t end makeup removal by wiping it off with a makeup sponge, as it will make your face pimpled.
Step 8.
Rinse off the dirty cleansing oil first so that you can use less facial cleanser later and make it easier to clean.
Don’t: Not enough massage to remove makeup, flushing time is too short, and only wash your face vigorously two or three times, which will not remove it completely and damage the skin.
Step 9.
After you no longer feel any greasiness and the coverings on your face (original makeup and cleansing oil) have been successfully removed, wash your face with facial cleanser.
Don’t: Wash your face with facial cleanser immediately after removing makeup. Don’t wait until you wash your hair and take a shower before washing your face!
Step 10.
If there are still dark residues in the corners and around the eyes, you can use a cotton swab dipped in some eye cream to wipe it off. If you don’t wear eye makeup, you can skip this step.
5 myths about Makeup Removal
1: Should I remove makeup even if I’m not wearing makeup?
Only “makeup” on the face needs to be removed, and makeup includes all “base makeup”, including sunscreen products, isolation cream, base cream, BB cream, CC cream, foundation, cushion powder, powder, compressed powder, No-makeup creams, as well as anything that covers blemishes or has color, count. Because these things are external and not something your skin loses or lacks, the concept is different from supplementing hyaluronic acid or ceramides. Since it is external and temporary, it should be removed properly to allow the skin to breathe.
If there is no makeup to block it but you are still removing makeup, what you are removing is your sebum film. If the sebum film is damaged, it will be easier to lose water, it will also easily cause sensitivity and redness, and it is more likely to cause the invasion of the bacterial army.
2: Is it convenient to wash and remove in one?
There are many all-in-one cleansing and removal products on the market. Most of these products do not contain oil. Instead of using “oil-soluble oil” to remove makeup, they use powerful detergents to violently wash off makeup. Compared with real makeup remover oil, Up, the makeup removal effect is much lower, and the base makeup cannot be completely dissolved. If makeup is not removed completely for a long time, acne will break out all over the face!
3: Is it convenient and clean to use makeup remover wipes?
It is important to remove makeup and wash your face, but handling it in a “safe way” is advanced knowledge. We said don’t use rough towels to wash your face, especially when removing makeup. Many people like to use makeup remover milk and makeup remover. Both of these must be wiped off with the help of cotton pads or tissues. The same is true for makeup remover wipes, which means you will rub them on your face many times! This is not a very friendly method for normal skin types, not to mention skin that has a lot of redness, swelling, acne, or skin that is already sensitive and damaged.
4: I’m afraid of oil. Is it best to use makeup remover?
Why does the use of makeup remover gel and makeup remover wipes make my skin uncomfortable? They contain almost no oil. How can you dissolve makeup without oil? Of course, you need to add alternative ingredients (solvents) to help you dissolve makeup. These solvents (such as butylene glycol or propylene glycol) are no better at dissolving makeup than makeup remover oil. If you use them frequently, the protective film of your skin will also be dissolved. Once the skin is injured, the chance of bacterial invasion is greatly increased, and it is very common to feel dehydrated and rough, so it is not recommended to use it regularly, otherwise, it is likely to develop red and unforgettable skin.
5: Makeup remover should be the mildest, right?
In addition to the need to wipe makeup off, makeup remover milk is usually not too high-grade and highly irritating. The oil content of makeup remover milk is low, which cannot fully remove the grease of makeup, and water has been added. It is emulsified into a milky form, and its ability to remove makeup is naturally no better than pure oil. It cannot be removed cleanly and is constantly damaged by friction. After applying it many times, the face is still oily and stuffy. This is a bad choice for “it is time-consuming but ineffective, and it is easy to rub excessively and irritate the skin”. It is also Because it is still very greasy after applying the makeup remover, you have to wash it with facial cleanser two or three times to relieve the greasiness.
