Purim makeup removal guide and skin soothing tips by Paula Blick

Purim make-up usually includes more layers than the daily make-up - a load of make-ups, eyeliners, blushes and other types of covers that are sold in preparation for the holiday.

All these make the task of removing makeup much more difficult, and the first victim is the skin of the face. Especially among those with sensitive skin or children, redness will appear. How do you clean the skin and manage to protect the delicate areas, and how do you minimize damage to the skin? It is definitely possible - with the help of a few simple steps. First, it is recommended to apply serum and face cream under the makeup in order to create a protective layer for the skin, which also makes it easier to remove the makeup.

It is recommended to use high-quality and hypoallergenic makeup products, especially for children and teenagers. Using inferior makeup can cause allergic reactions or pimples. You should use products from well-known and well-known companies, the ones you use every day, or from well-known brands. In addition, it is important to perform a sensitivity test a day or two before, try the makeup on an inconspicuous area of the face to make sure that the products are suitable for you, and that no allergic reaction develops.

Do you have a certain sensitivity to cosmetic products?

You should use fragrance-free products, and those that have been dermatologically tested and found to be hypoallergenic. Very important - do not sleep with the makeup on, and it must be removed at the first opportunity when you get home.

The choice of facial cleansing product depends on our skin type and which product and feeling we connect with. Some people prefer to clean their face with a facial lotion that leaves a pleasant feeling. Others will prefer a face soap that washes off with water for a cleaner feeling.

Dry facial skin: requires gentle and not intense cleaning in order not to remove the skin's natural fat layers that protect it (the body's natural defense). It is recommended to clean with a facial soap containing coconut oil or with a cream with a delicate texture and rich in moisture or with a rich facial lotion with salting and nourishing ingredients and emollients.

Oily facial skin: it is recommended to use alcohol-free products.

The purpose of the cleanser is to remove the excess fat secreted from the pores. Clean with a fat-absorbing and wound-drying agent, preferably one with antibacterial agents to prevent infections and inflammations and with a pore-shrinking action.

Combination/Normal Facial Skin: This type of facial skin is the most common, and should be cleansed with products that have moisturizing compositions that contain nutrients. The cleanser should have a medium texture. The product components can contain brightening agents and alpha hydroxy acids that remove fat cells and dead cells and balance the sebaceous gland.

Sensitive facial skin: usually this is thin skin with a rapid and intense reaction to substances. People with sensitive skin describe feelings of discomfort and irritation, so gentle care is required every time you touch the facial area, since this type of skin tends to develop spots and redness very quickly.

The cleansers should have a smooth and gentle texture, without parabens, preservatives, SLS and perfume. You can use mild soaps, shower lotions with a soft texture and even oils such as almond, tea tree or even olive oil. It is also possible to use substances containing urea (moisturizer) and Altonin (tissue regenerator) which contribute to the healing of sensitive skin.After removing the makeup, the face should be treated optimally, cleaned and nourished well.
