The holiday season brings joy, festivities, and more gatherings that drive us to use a whole lot of makeup; we gotta be dressed to impress and it’s easy to go all out. But while we focus on looking our best, many of us forget one crucial step in our beauty regimen: proper makeup removal. Skipping this can leave our skin feeling dull and congested, leading to breakouts and irritation.
In this article, we’ll discuss how to layer your skincare during the holidays, the importance of cleansing, and the products you can use to keep your skin healthy and glowing.
The Impact of Makeup on Your Skin
Makeup can enhance our features, but it can also take a toll on our skin if not removed properly. When left on overnight, makeup can clog pores, leading to breakouts, irritation, and even premature aging. Our skin needs to breathe and repair itself, especially during the holiday season when stress levels can rise and our skincare routines might slip. Understanding the effects of makeup on your skin is the first step toward a better skincare routine.
Prep Your Skin Right: Wash Your Hands
Before touching your face or applying any skincare products, always start with clean hands. This step is often overlooked but is essential in preventing the transfer of bacteria. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. By doing this simple act, you’re laying the foundation for healthy skincare.
Cleanse With the Right Ingredients
After a long day of holiday festivities, the last thing you want is to skip your skincare routine. A cleanse is an effective way to ensure your skin is free from makeup and impurities. Begin with a gentle cleanser to break down makeup and remove any residues.
For this step, consider using beU’s Manuka Cream Cleanser. This cleanser not only removes makeup effectively but also nourishes your skin with the benefits of manuka honey. Known for its antibacterial properties, manuka honey can help keep your skin clear and hydrated. Apply a small amount to your face and massage gently in circular motions, then rinse with warm water.
Wipe Away Residual Product
Once you’ve completed the cleanse, take a clean, soft face cloth and rinse it under warm water. Use this cloth to wipe away any residual makeup or cleanser from your face. This extra step helps ensure that your skin is entirely free from any products that can cause breakouts or irritation. Be gentle during this process; your skin is delicate and deserves a soft touch.
Hydrate and Nourish: Don’t Forget Your Retinol
After your skin is clean and fresh, it’s time to lock in moisture and nourishment. Apply your go-to products, starting with beU’s Retinol Anti Aging Moisturizer. Retinol is well-known for its ability to promote skin cell turnover, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and improve overall skin texture. Applying this moisturizer at night allows it to work while you sleep, giving your skin a chance to rejuvenate.
Makeup can be a fun way to express yourself during the holidays, but taking care of your skin underneath it all is the most important thing. A proper skincare routine will keep your skin healthy and radiant, making you feel great inside and out. So, this holiday season, take the time to layer your skincare properly. Your skin deserves it!
