Two: My zits forced me to become skilled at doing my makeup. Still, even with my many (many, many) years of pimple-masking experience, I’ve only now learned some new techniques from makeup artists on how to cover every type of breakout.

The Best Ways to Use Coconut Oil in Your Beauty Routine

Coconut oil has long been considered a beauty "cure-all," but if we're being straight with you, that's a major stretch. Sure — in a perfect world, the sweet-smelling oil would make skin conditions like acne and eczema magically disappear. Hell, it'd make hair grow thicker and longer, too. But that's simply not the case, folks. (Sorry to break the bad news.)

Now for the much-needed good news: Coconut oil is still a great beauty staple that can be used for myriad things — including skin- and hair-care treatments. Unfortunately, it's just not going to "cure" you of anything at the end of the day.

Why Skincare is So Important Before Every Makeup Application

Makeup is temporary, skin is forever.

No matter how much makeup we can pack on, we still need to realize our skin’s highest potential before relying on our cosmetic bags. We are born with the skin we will have for our entire lives and it’s important to take care of it as much as possible. But don’t let makeup be the reason to skip our skincare routine. Be sure to include your skincare regimen in your makeup application because oh, what the difference it will make. Check out these reasons why your skin relies on skincare before any makeup application.

Why is makeup removal so important in skin cleansing?

Skin cleansing consists in removing dead skin cells and cornified epidermis, it’s also one of the most important treatments recommended both in the morning
and in the evening. This treatment protects your skin from an infection and dermatologic conditions.

and irritation, and undermine your skin’s protective functions.

THE POWER AND IMPORTANCE OF CLEANSING

Whilst we increasingly use skincare products on our skin, we seem to be leaving out or doing a rush job of the most basic and essential step of our beauty routine: cleansing. But a quick swipe of a face wipe or splashing your face with water in the shower won’t cut it.

Taking the time to remove your makeup and thoroughly wash your face will ensure that you see visible improvements day after day, cleanse after cleanse.

Read on to discover why cleansers are the cornerstone of every great skin care regime, no matter what your Skin Instant® is.

Why cleansing your skin is so important
Consider what your skin is exposed to throughout the day. From makeup and sweat to particles in the environment, your skin inevitably faces many external aggressors. Daily facial cleansing removes every last trace of dirt, excess oil, pollution and unwanted skin cells off of your face.

Cleansing is the first step of all skincare routines and is beneficial in a number of ways. If not cleansed properly, dirt and pollution accumulate at the surface of your skin and could potentially contribute to breakouts, dehydration and ageing.
