A good daily cleansing routine will help you maintain your skins luster and regenerative abilities. It can help you fight back the aging effects.
Whether you wear a little or a lot, you’ll need to remove that makeup every day. If you go to bed with makeup on, you run the risk of causing breakouts from clogging pores. Not to mention the mess you’ll make on your pillow case.
But even if you don’t wear any makeup at all, you will still expose your face to the daily grime from air pollution, dirt, hand contact, and dead skin cells to name a few. All of this can build up and cause your pores to clog and your skin to look dull and tired.
Just how many times a day should you wash your face? Once, twice, three times?
Once is enough, twice is okay but not required, three times is bordering on an obsession. The main thing is to make sure you are using a cleansing agent that is effective enough to wash away the debris yet mild enough that it wont strip your skin. Your face should feel fresh and hydrated.
We recommend washing with soap once a day before bed and using a toner to refresh in the morning before applying your moisturizer.
What to do about eye makeup
Eye make up can be a great deal more intense to deal with and a bit of a challenge when you try to remove it. It’s made to go on and stay on looking fresh all day. It needs to look flawless even though we blink 10 to 20 times per minute. Not to mention the fact that we want a mascara that wont run dark streaks down our cheeks at the first tear. So you can imagine that makeup this long lasting will not be easy to remove.
You could try it with soap but I would not recommend that as my first pick. First, you don’t want to get soap in your eye as it may cause stinging irritations. Secondly you should never rub your eye as this pulls and tugs and stretches the skin which is counter productive if you are wanting to naturally fight off wrinkling.
Another option are the litany of synthetic specialized and often overpriced concoctions focused on eye makeup remover. But there may be a better way.
We recommend you give nature a try and use a more planet friendly approach. Use your favorite oil or one of the Très Spa Naked oil or our Hair oil, or just grab your favorite oil out of the kitchen cabinet. Follow these simple steps:
- Oil up a cotton round or a fabric cloth
You can find organic cotton rounds or you may choose to use washable cloths. I would suggest a bamboo or organic cotton.
- Gently press to the eye
You’ll want to press the oil to the eyelid and lashes to let it work with the makeup. Give it a gentle wiggle to get into all of the cracks and creases.
- Gently swipe down
With a rolling motion, gently wipe down and out.
- Repeat steps 1 through 3
Depending on how much makeup you have on, you may need to repeat a few times.
- Wash face with mild soapy water
Now that you have liberated your face, it’s time to wash away any residual oil and any remnants of makeup left behind.
