5 Ways To Care For Your Skin After Removing Halloween Makeup
By LILY RAINE
Make-up Remover
Leaving makeup on overnight can have a harmful effect on your skin, so if there’s one night to avoid sleeping with your makeup on, it’s Halloween. Dermatologist Erum Ilyas recommends using micellar water over makeup removal wipes because while they both break down waterproof makeup, she sees many more rashes from wipes usage.
Gentle Cleanser
Once you remove all your makeup, follow up with a gentle cleanser to ensure your skin is free from dirt, makeup, and bad oils. We recommend CeraVe’s Cream to Foam Cleanser because it contains ceramides, amino acids, and hyaluronic acid.
Toner
Toner is essential, especially on Halloween night because it’ll remove any leftover dirt and grime that didn’t get washed off. Toner is also known for its long-term effects of balancing the skin’s pH level and tightening pores.
Hydrate
It’s likely your skin will be dry after the previous steps, so it’s a great idea to apply a non-comedogenic moisturizer or hydrating night cream. Keeping your skin hydrated has long-term effects as it keeps the skin’s barrier hydrated and healthy, preventing wrinkles.
Eyes And Lips
The skin around the eyes and lips is extremely delicate, so they need extra care to ensure they’re clean and hydrated. Apply a hydrating eye cream to the under eyes and use an overnight lip mask.
