As for you gentlemen, it is just as important to take care of your face.
Step 1: Remove makeup
For people who wear makeup, removing makeup is the most important step. Removing makeup is a good way to allow the skin to breathe and regenerate.

Having the chance to have a beautician in my entourage, here are some additional tips for having beautiful skin:
- We must always apply sunscreen to our face. Summer and winter and even during the cloudiest days. The skin of the face being thinner, it is naturally more sensitive to UV rays which can damage it and cause premature aging. You can apply sunscreen right after putting on your daytime moisturizer.
- Drinking plenty of water helps take care of your skin from the inside. Our body needs a good level of hydration. If it is dehydrated, it will draw on the epidermis and it dries out the skin.
- When washing your face, prioritize cold water in the morning to firm the skin and warmer water in the evening to remove the impurities of the day.
- Restful sleep is the key to healthy skin. Cells regenerate during a good night's sleep.
- Smoking is very bad for the skin. It makes it duller in addition to causing premature aging.
Good care routine!
