The basic rule: always remove your makeup
We know that sometimes it's very lazy, especially on those days when you've had a date or special event and you've "overused" makeup a little more than usual. Always, always and always avoid going to bed without removing make-up, since the only thing you will get is that your skin suffers. And, yes, even if you don't wear makeup, you should. It is convenient to clean the skin of the impurities and dirt that accumulate throughout the day.
Keep in mind that when you apply the moisturizer after removing make-up you should not go overboard with the amount. And is that if you wear too much you can obstruct it and achieve the opposite effect to the desired one. In addition, in the case of the eye contour, for example, if you use one that is very unctuous, you can cause white spots of fat or bags to appear in that area.

DO NOT SCRUB THE SKIN WHEN CLEANING IT
When drying your skin (especially that of your face), it is very important not to irritate it by rubbing hard with the towel. Do it with gentle strokes.
And if you have the habit of removing pimples, you know that it is very bad for your skin. Instead of sanitizing it, what you are actually doing is releasing the bacteria from the bottom of the pimple and it can cause acne to spread. If you are also one of those who bursts it once, and again, and again … the only thing you will achieve is that dark spots and even scars appear in the area.
Take care of your diet
For example, coffee, sugar or convenience foods do your skin no favors. Caffeine is diuretic and causes skin to become dehydrated and appear dull and dull. Therefore, try not to drink more than 2 coffees a day. And if you take it with milk, be careful, because some studies have shown that milk has its own hormones and growth factors, which are absorbed, pass into the blood and can cause acne. Sugar, on the other hand, taken in excess, binds to the proteins of the skin, causing or aggravating flaccidity.
