Take it Off... Like the Pros.

Be good to your skin, and it will be good to you. Makeup can deliver wonderful results, but taking good care of your skin goes beyond any beauty benefit makeup gives you. You know my motto,"Beauty is as beauty does... Be Beautiful." Well beauty begins with good skincare habits.
If you wear a full face of make-up or just mascara and lipstick/gloss, your cleansing system without a doubt should include a makeup remover.
Putting on make-up like a professional is great but you need to know how to remove it like one -Okay.

All you Diva's, coming in late at night...No excuse! You must remove your make-up before going to bed or your skin will tell on you as you age.
You already  have a skin regimen especially if your a client of mine :), your cleansing, toning , exfoliating and moisturizing. Cleanser alone should not be the only method you depend upon to take off your makeup totally.
You need to include a makeup remover.  Find a formula that first suits your skin type then allow it to penetrate, make-up needs to be dissolved so that when its removed it glides off your skin easily.

You should use a cotton round if your remover comes in liquid form and use a Qtip on the eyelids to prevent tugging in the delicate eye area.(There is a make-up remover designed with the eye area in mind)

Tugging and pulling along with stretching areas of the face whether applying or removing make-up will result in wrinkles and crows feet later on. Trust me I have seen the damaging effects on clients.  

Afterwards clean your skin as normal but remember to apply your nightcream.

The benefits of a night cream is like your daytime moisturizer with the exception that it's not combating UVB/UVA rays or protecting you from the free radicals. The purpose is to replenish needed nutrients while moisturizing your skin overnight and  increasing cellular turnover. Allowing your skin to be hydrated and healthier.

Be good to your skin, and it will be good to you.
