Well, nothing says party season like the latter months of the year, right? For some odd reason, it seems like everyone’s celebrating their birthdays, anniversaries and getting married right now. To add a cherry on the top, with Christmas and New Year celebrations gracing us in a few weeks, the party’s just getting started. If you happen to be someone who enjoys dolling up every chance they get, chances are your skin isn’t super happy about that.
There’s no denying that a full face of makeup is all the party season needs. Who doesn’t love glamming up for a night out on town? I absolutely enjoy it to the fullest. However, sometimes your skin tends to get a tad bit exhausted from dealing with layers and layers of makeup, day after day. We’re certain you’re doing a fantabulous job at removing all traces of it before you go to bed, but don’t you think your skin needs a little more TLC? After all, it’s battling all sorts of devils like clogged pores, random bouts of breakouts and even flaky skin sometimes. So, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to give you the best way to hit the reset button on your skin this party season, and have it looking healthy in no time—
Cleansing Oil
The best way to remove a full face of makeup is with a good old cleansing oil, not only does it melt away even the most stubborn mascaras but also gets rid of all the grime in the process too! Innisfree’s green tea cleansing oil does the job along with hydrating your skin with the help of Jeju green tea extract.
Micellar Water
The next step would be going over your face with micellar water to ensure there is no residue left at all. A gentle micellar water that doesn’t dry or irritates the skin would be an ideal pick. Simple’s micellar cleansing water is exactly what your skin needs with its ability to softly remove makeup. Of course, it comes formulated without alcohol and perfume.
Nourishing Facewash
Yep, your face does require one last cleanse. There’s no way we’d let you skip face wash! However, this time around your skin needs a shot of nourishment, don’t you think? The Mario Badescu enzyme cleansing gel comes infused with the goodness of papayas and grapefruits, yummy enough to be in a fruit bowl. It leaves your skin looking brighter and rejuvenated than usual, sign us UP!
Detoxifying Face Mask
Nothing says reset like a classic detoxifying face mask, no? Specially created to draw out impurities and deeply cleanse the pores, a detoxifying face mask is your buddy right after festivities or parties. The Kiehl’s rare earth deep pore cleansing masque will zap all the dullness away and ensure there isn’t a single speck of grime remaining that could clog your pores.
Hyaluronic Acid
While your skin may be looking refreshed and clean, just take a minute to feel it. Something feels incomplete, right? Your skin seems to be a tad bit parched, and dry to the touch. Hyaluronic acid to the rescue, obviously! The Paula’s Choice hyaluronic acid booster gives your skin a smoother appearance with its ability to restore and replenish moisture content. Think of it as a chilled glass of water waiting for you right after an intense workout.
Sleeping Mask
Want to wake up to radiant AND healthy skin? A sleeping mask is your pathway to that. It’s rightfully termed beauty sleep since the skin rebuilds and repairs itself while you’re dreaming of a beach vacay. Youth To The People’s superberry hydrate + glow dream mask is the ultimate concoction that will give you glowing skin that’s soft to the touch.
Lip Balm
The last step of this reset routine would be to treat your lips with all the affection they deserve. After all, they’ve been sporting the most stunning lipsticks all season long. A healing lip balm makes them plumper and healthier. Suganda’s calendula lip balm comes brimming with avocado, calendula and cocoa butter. Creating a seal, it works like a charm on dry and chapped lips.
