💖 Why is makeup removal essential?
Makeup removal is a fundamental step in any skincare routine, often underestimated. Even if you don’t wear heavy makeup, your skin accumulates impurities, pollution, sebum, and product residues (like sunscreen) throughout the day. Effective makeup removal helps:
✅ Prevent clogged pores (which cause blackheads and pimples).
✅ Preserve the skin barrier by eliminating harmful particles.
✅ Optimize the effectiveness of subsequent treatments (serums, creams, etc.).
✅ Prevent premature aging by reducing oxidation caused by pollutants.
⚠️ Warning: Washing your face without removing makeup first is not enough! Some products (waterproof foundation, long-lasting mascara) require targeted removal.
