If you wear makeup often, it is important to get into a good routine of cleansing, toning, and moisturizing your skin each evening. By getting into a good routine now, you can help slow the clock when it comes to aging, by maintain your skin in better condition.
Cleansing your skin will remove the old makeup that has been on your face that day. It will also clear away the accumulation of grease and grime that has collected on your face due to environmental conditions or from touching your face throughout the day.
Before you begin, pull your hair back from your face to ensure that you are able to clean all of the skin up to the hair line. Begin by removing the mascara. When doing this, be careful not to stretch the skin. When cleaning around your eyes, use cotton balls to remove the mascara and eye shadow using a quality cleansing lotion, preferably one that is designed for eye makeup.
When it comes to the rest of your face, you can use your hands. Massage the cleansing cream into the skin paying close attention to the areas where you are prone to blackheads and other blemishes. By massaging the cream into your skin, you help ensure the removal of any buildup of makeup, grease, and grime will be removed from the pores in your skin and help limit the occurrence of acne.
Once you have thoroughly cleansed your face, gently remove it with a cotton ball or a tissue so you can then move on to toning.
Even though you have cleansed your skin at night, it is always a wise choice to get into the habit of cleaning your face in the morning. This gives you a clean slate in which to apply your makeup.

How to Use a Face Cleanser
How do I Remove the Dark Circles Under My Eyes?
We’ve all had them from time to time – those wonderful dark circles under our eyes that either means tiredness or a good night before, amongst other things. Whether you’re a young party goers or someone of an older disposition, these often-unattractive patterns are there for everyone to see. But what causes them and how can we remove them?
The Causes of Dark Circles Under Eyes
There are a number of ways that dark circles under eyes can be caused, and although they are more prevalent in people of an older age, they can affect the young too. Some of the more common reasons for dark circles are: · Old age. As we grow older, our skin becomes more translucent and this in turn makes the veins underneath our skin come to the fore. This results in the dark circle look.
· Diet. We’ve all heard of how a balanced diet is good for our overall health, and this includes our eyes. Lack of nutrients can lead to our bodies breaking down, again leading to dark circles under our eyes.
· Sleep deprivation. Whether you’re burning the candles at both ends, or suffer from sleep problems, the end result is the same, and often more pronounced as the eyes get puffier when tired.
How can I remove Dark Circles Under my Eyes?
Although they can be slightly ugly and give you a more haggard appearance than normal, the good news is that dark circles under the eyes can be cared for quite easily, and are not usually permanent (unless there is a bigger underlying issue, such as insomnia, where medical advice should be sought).
“There is a great product by Ella Blue called Shadow Magnet.. It works to help hide the dark circles! Check out Shadow Magnet by visiting Overall Beauty ~ Ella Blue Shadow Magnet comes in Light or Natural.”
There are a number of ways you can help prevent the build-up of dark circles in the first place, and they include:
· If you’re out in bright sunshine, always wear dark sunglasses. Combine this with a strong sunscreen for the area around your eyes, such as Factor 30 – not only will this protect your eyes from the sun’s UV rays, it will keep your skin strong.
· Drink lots of water. Pure water has long been associated with smoother skin and an effective barrier against aging. · Get as much rest as you can. Not only will you feel more alert yourself, your eyes will feel less strained, reducing the chances of dark circles under them.
If you have already noticed that you have dark circles under your eyes, then there are a number of methods you can make use of to reduce the circles, and they can all be used with simple household items:
Cut some cool cucumber into two slices and apply them over your closed eyelids. Leave them on for 15 minutes for the best results.
Similarly, get two cool teabags (normal tea, though, not herbal) and apply them to your closed eyes as you would the cucumber.
Eat plenty of fruit and vegetables with Vitamin C and iron. When these two vitamins are combined, they strengthen the skin, once again reducing the chances of dark circles under the eyes.
