It is therefore important to take care of it every day with suitable products. Discover the different steps to obtain a radiant complexion.
Se démaquiller
In the evening, before cleaning, make-up removal allows you to gently and deeply remove any makeup residue still present on the face. This step should not be neglected, especially since many cosmetics are waterproof and therefore water resistant.
For a natural version, the make-up removal can be done quite simply withvegetable oil like coconut, sweet almond, apricot or jojoba oil. The fatty matter of these oils facilitates make-up removal while nourishing the skin.
For an improved version, there are organic makeup removers respectful of the environment and health.
People who don't wear makeup can also take advantage of a vegetable oil pre-cleaning to remove even invisible traces of pollution or dust.
La lotion
La lotion is an aqueous pre-care that is applied between makeup removal and cleansing. It removes make-up remover and restores the pH of the skin .
It exists in different forms:
The mist that vaporizes
the liquid lotion to apply to cotton
