Chances are, you’ve been removing your makeup all wrong! Are you double cleansing? Are you using makeup removing cotton rounds, brushes, or sponges? If you answered no to any of these questions, then you need to reconsider your nightly skincare routine.
According to Juniper & Pine Founder Anna Perkins, “Removing your makeup before you go to bed is super important because your skin is more permeable at night when it is in skin-healing mode as you sleep. That’s why it’s a great time to put on the highly effective skin serums and creams because they can do their best job when skin is ready to accept it. BUT it goes the same for bad things that you don’t want being absorbed into your skin like makeup!”
Now, are you ready to start healing your skin while you sleep?
Step 1: Pre-cleanse with either Vike Beauty Makeup Melt OR Juniper & Pine Papaya Fuse Cleansing Oil.
- Option A: Looking to give an innovative new product a try? Put the newest makeup melting spray to the test: Vike Beauty Makeup Melt. If using Vike Beauty Makeup Melt, spray close to skin! Unlike a makeup setting spray, it should be sprayed closer to the skin and the desired targeted areas. After 4-5 spritzes, you don’t need a makeup wipe or cotton rounds with makeup melt; all you need is your fingertips to massage gentle into skin and then rinse with water.
- Option B: For those who want to go the traditional oil cleansing route, opt for Juniper & Pine Papaya Fuse Cleansing Oil, which is a lightweight, complexion balancing all natural makeup remover and everyday cleanser that leaves skin purified, balanced and radiant. Made solely with natural and organic ingredients such as Papaya Seed Oil, Papaya Fruit Extract, Mango Fruit Extract, Sunflower Seed Oil and Pumpkin Seed Oil, the all-in-one cleansing oil infuses skin with anti-oxidative vitamins and complexion-perfecting Omega-6 essential fatty acids as it effortlessly lifts and removes dirt, makeup, and daily build-up. Take 2-3 pumps of cleansing oil onto the palms of your hands and gently massage over the face using small circular motions. Rinse with water to wash away the day’s stress and worries.
Step 2: After step 1 has removed makeup and impurities, step 2 involves a good old-fashioned lathering cleanser and water. Following double cleansing, your skin now has the ability to absorb more of your serums and moisturizers, penetrating deeper and making them more effective.
