Essential Tips on Snapping Your Skin Back After Halloween

• Prime before making up

Use a primer before you apply your makeup. Not only will this help your makeup go on more smoothly and stick throughout the night, but it can also protect your pores from all the potential clogging from face paint and glitter. Try a peel-off primer which will help to create a complete barrier between makeup and your skin.

• Balm cleanser

Use a balm cleanser to break down makeup quickly, rather than spending ages scrubbing your skin with your standard makeup remover. Gently smother your skin in the balm, then press a hot flannel against the skin for a minute or so to help that makeup ease off.

• Facial cleansing brush

Avoid scrubbing skin within an inch of its life. Be kind and gentle. A silicone brush like FOREO’s LUNA 2 is gentler than a nylon bristle brush as the soft, smooth nodules on the brush head are far less abrasive and also more hygienic – meaning less chance of irritated skin and breakouts once Halloween is over.

To get your hands on FOREO, head over to Harvey Nichols Dubai, Bloomingdale’s Dubai, Virgin Megastore, Dubai Duty-Free, and online at foreo.com, namshi.com as well as many other premium retail and online channels across the Middle East.

Now you can have a great Halloween without worrying about antagonizing your precious skin!
