Evening make-up removal: the right steps for healthy skin

Démaquillage du soir : les bons gestes pour une peau saine

The Gemology routine for gentle skin purification, even without make-up

Why remove make-up even without make-up?

In the evening, it's essential to remove the make-up and impurities accumulated during the day. Even without make-up, our skin is exposed to pollution, sebum and fine particles, also known as "involuntary make-up".

A two-step routine for deep cleansing

For effective, skin-friendly make-up removal, two products are recommended:

  1. A cleansing milk with gentle surfactants.
  2. A cleansing gel or foam to finalize cleansing.

Step 1: Cleansing milk

Apply the cleansing milk to the face, neck and décolleté. Massage in circular motions for one minute to dissolve make-up and impurities.

Rinse off with clean microfiber gloves. This textile traps residues without depositing them back on the skin. Please note: gloves are a tool, not a substitute for skincare. They do not replace the moisturizing and softening action of cleansing milk.

Step 2: Cleansing gel

Apply directly to damp skin , without wiping after cleansing. Choose a gentle texture (foam or gel), and repeat the same circular movements. This step deeply purifies the skin and preserves its natural microbiota.

Avoid overly-aggressive products that disturb the skin's pH and weaken the cutaneous barrier.

What about micellar waters?

If you use micellar water, remember to rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Otherwise, it can leave residues on the skin, altering its balance.

Conclusion: an essential ritual for beautiful skin

This two-step protocol, even if it seems longer than an "all-in-one" product, is the basis for healthy, balanced, radiant skin. Cleansing is an absolute prerequisite in any skincare routine worthy of the name.
