Removing Halloween Makeup Without Harming Your Skin

laser-smooth-company_mens_skincare_tips

Are you ready for Halloween? Got your costume and makeup all planned out? Just make sure that when you are taking off all the extra makeup you don’t wreck your skin in the process! Here are some more do’s and don’ts of Halloween makeup removal.

Your skin will thank us later.

Tip No. 4: Avoid aggressive scrubbing

Gritty exfoliators can leave your skin feeling amazing, but this is one occasion where you might want to leave them for your to-do list for the next morning. After cleansing, if you still find traces of makeup or residue, follow up with a soft microfiber cloth or gentle remover wipes. 

Tip No. 5: Go gentle on sensitive skin

Although this is a time where everyone loves to go all out, and grab anything off the shelves that will make their Halloween makeup pop, it’s important to read labels. Many products can include ingredients that may not agree with your skin — especially if you are acne-prone or have any other related skin issues, such as rosacea or dermatitis. “Avoid anything with isopropyl myristate, which is known to cause acne,” says Baumann. This ingredient is very common in cosmetics with pigments, like eyeliner, she says, because it helps the product glide onto the skin. “Since you’re likely applying these products beyond your eyes on Halloween, it’s best to steer clear — especially if you’re already prone to acne.”

Tip No. 6: Be easy on the eyes

Whether it is Halloween or not, the eyes are the most sensitive area of your face, and should be treated with caution as you remove your makeup. Most festive looks accentuate this feature, which is fun for the evening, but it also means you will have to pay special attention later. One wise move is to try a removal product formulated specifically for the eye area.

Removing Halloween Makeup Without Destroying Your Skin

Laser Smooth Company_Removing Halloween Makeup Without Destroying Your Skin

Are you ready for Halloween? Got your costume and makeup all planned out? Just make sure that when you are taking off all the extra makeup you don’t wreck your skin in the process! Here are some dos and don’ts of Halloween makeup removal.

Your skin will thank us later.

Tip No. 1: Don’t go to sleep in Halloween makeup

Seems like a no-brainer, but after devouring too much candy, dancing the night away, and maybe even having one too many cocktails, removing all that makeup you worked so hard to put on perfectly may be the furthest thing from your mind. “If there’s one night of the year to not go to bed with makeup on, Halloween would be it,” says Baumann. “Your usual cleanser might not be up to the task, so start with argan, jojoba, or almond oil to dissolve the makeup (but avoid safflower and olive oils, because they can clog pores). After the oil, use a cleanser that contains a surfactant to wash away any makeup or oil left behind.”

Tip No. 2: Start with the heavy lifting

Perhaps this year, you have decided to go all out and cover yourself with jewels, rhinestones, and gorgeous glitter, to up the ante on your costume. While these kinds of adornments are often easily applied, they do not always come off painlessly. One thing to avoid? Just as you have always been told not to pick at pimples, the same rule applies here. As you try to pick at and pull off stubborn gems that have been glued on, you can cause irritation — or even worse, damage your skin. Instead, take a cotton ball or Q-tip, drench it in cleansing oil like Simple Hydrating Cleansing Oil, and massage around the edges of the accessory until it gradually slides off. Then, massage on a little more oil to remove any remaining adhesive, glue, or residue. If you really have trouble lifting smaller particles of glitter, grab a little fashion tape (not regular Scotch), seal it over the areas with the most glitter specks, and gently lift the tape from your skin. The bits and pieces left over should come right off.

Tip No. 3: Allow makeup remover to settle

Typically, such Halloween makeup as face paint or heavy kohl crayons are much heavier in pigment and formulations, because they are manufactured as being “built to last.” Many of us automatically think to reach for heavier face washes or to keep scrubbing over and over again with a washcloth. This is a disaster waiting to happen: Be patient. Allowing the product to settle in on your skin for a minute or two before rinsing may seem annoying after dancing the night away at your bestie’s haunted house party, but it saves you from having to repeat it unnecessarily. Follow by rinsing your face with lukewarm water. Then pat dry with a towel.

Tips After You Get Laser Treatments

laser-smooth-company_medium-treatment-areas

At Laser Smooth we are dedicated to providing you with the ability to feel your best! If you are looking for a more permanent form of hair removal, laser therapy treatments are the way to go. Do you have some questions about what to do post laser treatment? 

Do you have some questions about what to do post laser treatment? Here are some tips from us to you for post laser treatment care.

Post Treatment Care

  • We will apply a soothing aloe and vitamin E lotion to treated areas.
  • There is no downtime with laser hair removal, so you can immediately engage in normal activities following your appointment.
  • We advise the use of sunscreen for the next 48 hours.
  • Immediate and continuous sun exposure, tanning, or working under halogen lights is to be avoided.
  • Remember, immediate redness (erythema) is to be expected and generally goes away in a few minutes or hours. Important to note, it is generally considered a desirable side effect because it evidences effective damage to the follicles. However, as erythema presents itself as redness to the treated area, most people prefer to schedule appoints for treatment of the face or other visible areas on a Friday or over the weekend so that normal skin tone returns before the start of a new week.

At Laser Smooth we are dedicated to making sure you get the results you are looking for. Follow these tips and you should be well on your way to living a hair free life!

Tips Before You Get Laser Treatments

So you’ve decided to get laser hair removal. Great! There are some tips you may want to know before you go in to make sure you get the best possible results. At Laser Smooth we are dedicated to making sure you feel confident in how you look.

Pre Treatment Care

  • Please give a close shave to the areas receiving treatment the morning of your appointment. For harder to reach places, such as the backside, we can provide assistance just prior to application of our laser.
  • The area to be treated should be freshly cleaned and left free from any make-up, perfumes, lotions, creams, and/or antiperspirants.
  • Areas to be treated should be as light as possible, so avoid tanning 2 weeks leading up to treatments. Also, avoid sunless tanning products leading up to your appointments.
  • Do not wax or otherwise remove the roots of the hair follicles 3 weeks prior to receiving laser hair removal. Studies suggest, however, that waxing 3 weeks prior to an appointment may increase overall efficacy – as every treated hair is now in its active state of growth.
  • Do not bleach any hair to be treated, or lighten its color.
  • You must advise us of any medications you’re currently taking or have taken in the past 6 months which increases sensitivity to light. Examples include several antibiotic and antifungal medications as well as isotretinoin.

At Laser Smooth we are dedicated to making sure you get the results you are looking for. Follow these tips and you should be well on your way to living a hair free life!

How Laser Hair Therapy Works At Laser Smooth

laser-smooth-company_how_laser_treatments_work

At Laser Smooth we are dedicated to providing you with the ability to feel your best! If you are looking for a more permanent form of hair removal, laser therapy treatments are the way to go. No more painful wax or tie consuming and dangerous razors. At Laser Smooth we use the Light Sheer Duet Laser to provide you with the best results.

How it works

The Light Sheer Duet Laser uses a process called Selective Photothermalysis or target destruction. This involves raising the temperature of the target high enough to damage the viable hair cells without damaging the epidermis and the surrounding tissues. Following follicular destruction, the debris of these cells will shed out and will fill with dermal fibers after approximately 1 month. Because each individual hair cell on the body can be found in a different stage of growth (anagen, catagen, or telogen), the process of permanent hair reduction can take between 4 to 8 treatments spread out over 4 to 6 weeks between each treatment.

At Laser Smooth we want you to feel your best and that includes feeling good about your decision to get laser therapy. That why we always offer a free consultation. Learn about the services Laser Smooth offer and how to get a free consultation today!

Tips For Glowing Skin: #5

Having beautiful glowing skin is all about how you take care of it. Putting lots of love and care into your skin will definite show. Here are a few tip and tricks for having lovely glowing skin. Here is tip #5: 

  • Nutritious Omega-3 diet

Everything healthy starts from your diet. Digestive problems result in skin impurities; hence diet is really essential for healthy skin. Taking in the right amount of micro-nutrients and vitamins is great for clear skin.

Food rich in omega 3 aside from being generally healthy and tasty, fortifies cell membranes that retain water for a smoother, softer skin from within.
