With Halloween just around the corner, it's essential to beware of the spooky skincare mistakes that can haunt your skin long after the last pumpkin is put away. If you're dressing up for a party and plan on going all out with face, don't let these common skincare mistakes give you a scare this season.
1. Neglecting to Remove Makeup
One of the top skincare sins is failing to remove your makeup before going to sleep, especially after a night of Halloween makeup. Heavy makeup and cosmetic paint can be stubborn to remove, If not removed thoroughly it can can clog pores, and dryness leading to breakouts and dull skin. Always double cleanse your make up off before getting in to bed. First cleanse to remove make up and SPF that is designed to stick to your skin, as well as all the dirty and pollution from that day, and your second cleanse is to make sure you have removed everything from the first cleanse. Your second cleanse is also more of a treatment cleanser for your specific skin concern.
2. Using Unsanitary Halloween Makeup
That vibrant skull face or bewitching vampire look might be Insta worthy, but have you thought about the cleanliness of those makeup products? Sharing or reusing makeup with friends or as a MUA without proper cleaning can introduce harmful bacteria to your skin, causing infections and irritations. Be sure to disinfect your brushes and makeup tools between uses to keep your skin clear and happy.
3. Skimping on Proper Cleansing
After showcasing your Halloween makeup, a quick wash with your regular facial cleanser might not cut it. Many Halloween makeup products are heavier and more pigmented than everyday makeup, requiring extra care to ensure they are fully removed from the skin. Choose for a gentle oil-based cleanser to effectively cleanse away the layers of makeup for a fresh complexion, ready for your second cleanse. Plus I am sure you don't want residue of face paint on your pillowcases when you wake up in the morning.
4. Opting for Unsafe Face Paints
When selecting Halloween makeup products, always prioritize safety and quality. Not all face paints are created equal, and some may contain ingredients that can trigger allergic reactions or skin irritations. Check for non-toxic and cosmetic-grade face paints that are safe for skin application. If you have sensitive skin it may be best to try just make up for your Halloween look, or patch test any new products.
5. Neglecting Skincare Basics
Lastly, don't let the excitement of Halloween steer you away from your everyday skincare routine. Amidst the spooky fun, remember to hydrate, moisturize, and protect your skin from the changing temperatures and excess makeup. Consistent skincare practices are key to maintaining a healthy complexion, even during the most festive times of the year.
By staying clear of these spooky skincare mistakes, you can ensure that your skin remains radiant and healthy, and good skincare is the best treat you can give your skin this Halloween season. Stay spook-free and glow on! Happy Halloween! 🎃
Let's get ready to enjoy a skin-friendly Halloween!
