Common mistakes when removing makeup:

• Use only water: Some people do not use specialized products, choosing to simply wash their face with water, which can leave makeup residue on the skin.
• Not rinsing off micellar water enough: Forgetting or not rinsing off micellar water completely can result in makeup residue remaining on the skin, which can be detrimental to skin health.
• Stretching the skin: Rough handling when removing makeup, including stretching the skin, can contribute to the formation of wrinkles and loss of firmness.
• Skipping the eye area: Some people forget to clean the eye area, which can result in bags and dark circles.

Additional makeup removal tips:

• Use warm water: Warm water helps dissolve makeup more effectively and opens pores, improving the cleansing process.
• Gentle handling: Do not rub the skin too hard. Gentle movements help to gently remove makeup without damaging the skin.
• Neck and Décolleté Care: Extend cleansing to the neck and décolleté to maintain an even skin tone.
• Regular Exfoliation: Include regular exfoliation routines to remove dead cells and maintain healthy skin appearance.

Choose products that will help care for your skin, including vitamins and extracts. Consider your skin type, preferences and makeup preferences to achieve the best results.
