Ever feel overwhelmed by the endless stream of skincare products promising the next big miracle. You're not alone….
But what if we told you a simpler approach could be the key to healthier, happier skin. This blog series will explore why a sustainable skincare routine, built around reusable and eco-friendly products like our very own East n West Bamboo Cotton Makeup Pads, can save you time, money, and the planet.
Let's face it, mornings are hectic. You've just woken up, and your skincare routine shouldn't add an extra half hour to your get-ready scramble. Here's the beauty of a simple routine:
1) Cleanse Since you cleansed your face before bed, a quick refresh is all you need. Splash your face with warm or cool water (avoid hot water, which can dry skin). Follow with a gentle cleanser to remove any leftover night cream or retinol.
2) Moisturize & Protect: Apply a lightweight moisturizer suitable for your skin type. Don't forget SPF! Sun protection is crucial every day, even on cloudy days.
Nighttime: The Power of Double Cleansing (and Beyond)
Night time truly is when your skin works its repair magic. Here's where a simple yet effective routine shines.
1)Double Cleanse: A full face of makeup requires a double cleanse. Start with an oil-based cleanser on dry skin. Gently massage the oil using your hands to loosen makeup and impurities. Think of your hands as gentle warmers for the oil, helping it melt away makeup more effectively. Our reusable bamboo cotton pads come in handy here! Wet the pad with warm water and use it to wipe away the makeup.
2)Second Cleanse: Follow with your regular cleanser (milk, foam, or gel) to remove any remaining impurities and deep clean your pores. Use your reusable pad again with the cleanser for a thorough clean.
3)Nighttime Powerhouses (Optional): After cleansing, incorporate heavier night creams or retinols into your routine if needed for your skin type. These products can target specific concerns like wrinkles or dryness.
By adding in a reusable eco friendly makeup pad you’re removing the single use makeup wipes that you can actually use between 2- 6 wipes per day. not to mention the chemicals that you are putting on your skin to remove the makeup could be doing more harm than good.
