Why this worksCleansing your makeup at the end of the day prevents clogged pores and helps maintain skin health. Using a gentle approach ensures you’re not stripping your skin of its natural oils, which is key for keeping it balanced. The right products and techniques can help remove makeup without irritation, leaving your skin ready for the next skincare step.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Start with a Makeup Remover Apply a gentle makeup remover or micellar water to a cotton pad. Sweep it across your face to lift away makeup, focusing on areas with heavier product.
  2. Use an Oil Cleanser Follow up with an oil cleanser to dissolve any remaining makeup and impurities. Massage it into dry skin for about a minute before rinsing with warm water.
  3. Foam or Gel Cleanser Next, use a mild foam or gel cleanser to cleanse your skin further. Apply it to damp skin, lather gently, and rinse well to ensure all traces of makeup are gone.
  4. Pat Dry and Moisturise Gently pat your face dry with a clean towel. Finish with a hydrating moisturiser to lock in moisture and keep your skin soft.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip the double cleanse, thinking one product is enough, which can leave residue behind. Others may rub their skin too harshly, causing irritation. Lastly, neglecting to moisturise afterward can leave skin feeling tight and dry.

The pro moveTry using a warm, damp cloth during cleansing for an added gentle exfoliation effect.
