1. Cleanse the skin
Cleansing the skin is the first and important step after makeup removal to remove dirt, makeup residues. You should use gentle cleansers that can provide the necessary moisture to the skin. If you don’t cleanse the skin, it will be prone to acne and other issues. Therefore, no matter how busy you are, never skip the cleansing step, especially in the evening before going to bed.
2. Remove dead skin cells
Exfoliating helps remove dirt, dead skin cells, and unclog pores. You can exfoliate 1-2 times a week. Avoid excessive exfoliation as it can irritate the skin, cause redness, and flaking, disrupting the skin’s protective barrier.
3. Apply face masks for skincare
When the weather is dry, the skin lacks moisture, making it dry, dull, and rough. You can choose natural masks that will help improve skin health, making it more radiant and fresh.
– Avocado and yogurt mask: This mask formula moisturizes and gently exfoliates. Just mix ½ avocado and 1-2 tablespoons of plain yogurt without sugar and gently apply it to the skin. After 20 minutes, rinse thoroughly.
– Aloe vera mask: This mask is especially suitable for dry skin. After applying the mask, you will have moist, smooth, and naturally healthy skin. Mix 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice and apply it to the skin. Let it dry naturally for about 20 minutes, then rinse with water.
– Honey and egg white mask: Beat 1 egg white and 1 tablespoon of pure honey evenly. Apply the mixture to the face and leave it on for 20 minutes. Then, rinse the face with cool water. It is recommended to do this 2-3 times a week in the evening to feel the changes in the skin.
4. Moisturize the skin
You can choose moisturizers with suitable textures. This way, you will have smooth and soft skin to welcome the Lunar New Year. Only when the skin is properly cared for and moisturized, your Lunar New Year makeup will look flawless.
5. Protect the skin from sunlight
If not properly protected when exposed to sunlight, the skin will soon show wrinkles, fine lines, pigmentation, and age spots.
Therefore, you need to apply sunscreen before going outside to create a shield for the skin against the harmful effects of sunlight. To prevent the sunscreen layer from being too thick, sticky, and uncomfortable, you should use an appropriate amount of sunscreen.
