Do you sometimes forget to remove makeup before going to bed?
After a long day, all we want to do is take off our work clothes and go to bed. Most of the time, we neglect washing our face and removing makeup. Some would say it’s a tedious task while others think it is fine to just do it in the morning.
However, removing makeup before going to bed is very important. In fact, makeup removal should be part of your daily skincare routine. Leaving makeup on during the night can cause extensive damage to your skin. When you leave makeup on while you are sleeping, your skin cannot renew itself. The skin cannot breathe and soon enough, fatigue signs will appear on your face.
Most cosmetic products are made of oily substances. When these oily substances stay on the skin for a long time, they clog the pores. This results in the dreaded acne and blackhead breakouts. Residues and chemicals in makeup can cause other skin imperfections if they are frequently left on the skin for long hours at night.
To make it easier and faster to remove makeup, you can make homemade makeup remover. You only need a few ingredients and the best thing about making your own is you can use natural ingredients like lavender essential oil. Lavender essential oil has antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties that are very beneficial to the skin. It can kill bacteria and prevent acne breakouts. It is also good for cleansing and lessening redness and irritation. Lavender essential oil also contains antioxidants that help reduce the signs of aging. Many skin care products contain lavender essential oil because of its soothing fragrance and healing benefits.
DIRECTIONS
1. Pour water and witch hazel into the jar.
2. Add the jojoba oil and lavender essential oil and stir well.
3. Add 10 cotton rounds into the mixture.
4. Screw the lid and gently turn upside down to saturate the cotton rounds.
5. To use, get one cotton round, blot out the extra liquid. Close your eyes and gently wipe off cosmetics from the face.
