After a long day at work, you probably want to rush through the makeup removal and cleansing steps. While some of you may only use a cleanser as a makeup remover, it\u2019s important to know it only has one function: to cleanse! Residues of foundation, mascara and lipstick will remain on the surface of the skin, and will be very likely clogging pores, causing irritations and promoting blemishes.  <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

On the other hand, a makeup remover may not be enough to rid your skin of all impurities. By distinguishing these two steps (each with a specific role), you\u2019ll only add a minute to your skincare routine but will achieve much better results. Here\u2019s everything you need to know. <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n\r\n

Step 1: removing makeup\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Makeup removal is essential in your skincare routine. Skipping this step means you\u2019ll go to bed with small residues that prevent your skin cells from oxygenating properly. In the long run, this could even make your complexion dull, cause unsightly breakouts, and accelerate skin aging. A good makeup remover erases makeup traces and prepares the skin for cleansing, but it should never be harsh.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

With the right techniques and combination of products, your skin will look fresher, more radiant, and ready for new makeup!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s essential to choose a makeup remover suited to your skin’s mood. Dry, sensitive, and mature skin will love rich and hydrating milks, creams and oils that nourish the skin while removing makeup.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n

For normal to oily skin, micellar water and gels are recommended! These lightweight formulas help remove makeup while regulating excess sebum. They don\u2019t leave a greasy residue and provide a refreshing feeling. They are often formulated with purifying ingredients that help prevent acne without being harsh on the skin, such as our Eau soir et matin<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, a micellar water which micelles (particles of surfactants) act as cleansing agents to remove impurities, makeup, and sebum. You may find other micellar waters on the market are too drying for the skin: it\u2019s because they contain too much micelles. Our Eau Soir et Matin contains just enough to remove makeup, but it is also packed with moisturizing and soothing ingredients, such as Aloe Vera, Cornflower and Witch Hazel hydrosol.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/section>\n\n
