Flawless beauty starts not just through makeup but also from within! Ever thought about a pre- and post-makeup ritual routine to make your skin happier? Whether you are prepping yourself for a big day or winding down to get some beauty sleep, we have got you covered. Read on to know more!

Pre-makeup schedule:

Let us look at pre-makeup rituals that need to be done before applying makeup to your skin.

1. Cleansing: Cleansing is the first and the most basic step that has to be done before applying makeup. Cleansing gets rid of oil and impurities in the skin. Make sure to go for a mild and gentle cleanser that can help in getting rid of toxins and keep your skin shiny and glowing.
2. Exfoliation: Using a good exfoliator can help in getting rid of those nasty dead skin cells. Scrub gently to remove excess oil and dirt. An important thing to remember is not to over-exfoliate! It can lead to inflammation and irritation. Exfoliate 2-3 times a week.
3. Hydrate with serum: Hydration is important to protect your skin from going dry, saggy, and wrinkly. A serum can help in rejuvenating your skin. Look out for serums, especially with vitamin C in them. Vitamin C can get rid of hyperpigmentation, acne marks, and dark spots.
4. Moisturize: Moisturizing skin can make your skin more youthful and hydrated. It will also help in protecting your skin’s natural outer barrier.
5. Sunscreen: Sunscreen is a must, irrespective of the weather outside! Go for sunscreen with SPF-30 to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays. Reapply every 2 hours.

Post make-up schedule:

Now, let us have a look at the post-makeup routine that can be followed at the end of the day.

1. Make-up removal: It is important to remove make-up at the end of the day. Leaving makeup overnight can leave your skin pores clogged and blocked. This can end up leaving your skin dull and lifeless. Apply makeup remover to a cotton pad and gently apply it to your face to remove traces of makeup. Apply it especially in the area around your skin.
2. Double cleansing: Double cleansing helps in removing dirt, makeup, oil, or any other impurities. For the first cleansing process, use an oil-based cleanser. Wash it off with lukewarm water. In the next step, use a water-based cleanser to remove residual impurities or oil.
3. Toning: Toning helps in maintaining the skin balance and helps to prevent pores from being clogged. Apply the toner to a pad and gently apply it across the face. This will help in removing the residual cleanser if at all present.
4. Hydrate with serum: Serum helps to lock the moisture around your skin. Gently pat it around your skin.
5. Eye cream: Eye cream can reduce dark circles and dullness around the eyes. Gently apply the cream to the skin around your eyes.

Now that you know the pre and post-make up routines, it is time to put them into practice. Make sure to follow the steps consistently for a happy and healthy skin.
