Thorough Cleansing

1. Double Cleanse

Start with an oil-based cleanser to break down the makeup, followed by a gentle water/gel-based cleanser to remove any remaining impurities. This ensures your skin is thoroughly cleansed without stripping it of natural oils.

2. Avoid Harsh Scrubbing

Be gentle with your skin. Avoid using harsh scrubs that can irritate and damage your skin. Instead, opt for a soft cloth or gentle exfoliating cleanser. We highly recommend the SkinBetter Detoxifying Scrub Mask.

Hydration is Key

3. Hydrate Your Skin

After cleansing, apply the best cleansing mist Hydrinity Hyacyn Active to replenish moisture and balance your skin’s pH levels.

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) is a potent anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory agent that works overtime to treat blemishes, renew compromised skin, and deeply calm even the most stressed and sensitive skin types, including those prone to eczema, psoriasis, and rosacea.

Additional Skincare Tips

5. Treat Any Breakouts

Heavy makeup can clog pores and cause breakouts. Use a gentle, non-comedogenic treatment containing salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to address any blemishes without over-drying your skin.

6. Don’t Forget Your Eyes and Lips

Use a gentle eye makeup remover to clean the delicate eye area thoroughly. Apply an eye cream to hydrate and reduce puffiness. For your lips, use a lip scrub to remove any remaining makeup and a nourishing balm to keep them soft and hydrated.

7. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Proper hydration helps your skin recover faster and maintain a healthy glow.
