How to remove Halloween makeup – 5 steps to a squeaky clean face

Exfoliate

Now you’ve got rid of the majority of make-up, it’s time to exfoliate to get rid of any final traces of makeup.

However, the experts at Clarins warned that if your skin is feeling too sensitive by this stage, you should come back to it in a day or two.

They explained: “Using clean fingers, take a pea-sized amount of gentle exfoliator and apply it to the face in small circular motions.

“Once you have softly rubbed it around the skin for 30 seconds or so, use warm water to rinse it off.

“This is an important step in the routine because it helps to remove any final traces of make-up that could be sitting deep within the pores.”

Exfoliating also helps to effectively remove old skin cells and restore a healthy, vibrant glow – which is exactly what you need after a night of trying to look like the living dead!
