The editorial staff of Woman’s Day found out what mistakes women most often make when choosing a makeup remover and cleansing itself.
Do not overdo it
Cleansing is an indispensable facial procedure, but too much “washing” can lead to premature aging of the skin and disruption of its barrier layer. It is not necessary to achieve the effect “to shine and creak”. You need to wash your face 1-2 times a day with a tonic and apply a moisturizer after cleansing.
Improper cleansing
The cleanser needs to be matched to your skin type with soothing ingredients. Many people, due to the wrong choice of makeup remover, are faced with problems such as dryness, dehydration, or, conversely, the skin begins to oily. Wet wipes should only be used in emergencies when there are no cleansers on hand.
Rough cleansing
Do not rub your skin with a cotton pad until it becomes red. Cleansing should be done gently and gently. Sudden movements will reverse the effect, and irritation will appear on the face.
Comfort temperature
You can not purify water using too hot or, conversely, cold water. This item is especially important in the cold season. Choose a comfortable temperature or use wet wipes.

Don’t wash off makeup before bed
Experts call this point a crime. Makeup that you don’t remove will at least clog your pores and irritate your skin. Wherever you are, be sure to take a compact makeup remover with you or just do lip makeup so you don’t have to worry about cleansing.
Keep the makeup remover on the skin for a long time
Many people, according to the principle of face masks, believe that if you hold the cleanser not for 10-20 seconds, but for a few minutes, the effect will be better. But cleansers are designed to remove cosmetics, so it is better to apply it for 10 seconds and remove with a cotton pad, then use a face mask that can be “worn” for an hour or two, or a cream that does not need to be washed off at all.
