I apply makeup regularly on my skin for my office to look presentable. However, I am usually very exhausted after working for almost 10 to 12 hours. I have to complete household chores too before hitting the bed. So I hardly get any time to remove makeup from my face! This has adversely affected my skin. There is acne all over my face and patchy areas have made their home on my face!
I did not know what was going wrong, so I spoke with one of my friends who explained me that the main culprit behind all this is not removing makeup every night. Your skin needs utmost care and hygiene is very important. The harsh chemicals used in makeup products deposit in the skin making it difficult for the skin to breathe. She gave me some tips for making my own natural makeup remover.
