After a long day or an exciting evening, it is tempting to skip cleansing routines and flop into bed with the day’s makeup still on our faces. While doing this occasionally will probably cause no great harm, doing it routinely can clog pores, irritate delicate skin and generally make skin look tired and dry.

Removing makeup from eyes is a delicate job on delicate areas so you don’t want to rub and scrub. Waterproof formula mascaras are especially hard to remove without some type of makeup removing preparation. Avon’s Moisture Effective Eye Makeup Remover is designed to be gentle and yet effectively remove eye makeup and mascara while moisturizing and hydrating.

Sephora all-in-one Makeup Remover Towelettes can be used on face, eyes and lips and are oh so portable. No need to rinse either, just wipe, toss and go.

For an all-makeup remover that combines gentle cleansing with moisturing and a bit of aromatherapy, Adrienne Arpel’s Meltdowns are amazingly effective. My favorite is the soft but fresh scent of the Mandarin Meltdown but the line also includes a French Vanilla Meltdown, Green Tea and Grape, Coconut and even Fresh Pear and Citrus. Treat yourself to one of these meltdown cream cleansers and feel refreshed and relaxed.

For most of us, the total of our hand care is some hand lotion rubbed in once or twice a day when we think of it, or worse, when our hands start to feel dry and itchy. If you wait too long, the skin will crack or be easily broken. The loveliest manicure won’t be enough to draw attention away from flaky dry knuckles and red, angry-looking skin.

The solution? Treat your hands once or twice a week to a total skin treatment. First wet your hands and use your favorite body scrub to exfoliate. Rinse and wash hands with a mild lotion cleanser - borrow your facial cleanser for this purpose; facial cleansers are gentle and moisturizing. Then follow with a protective hand lotion, one that forms a moisture barrier. Your hands will be soft, smooth and silky.

You will love the feeling so much, you will adopt this “facial” for your hands as part of your weekly routine skin care.

Finding all the right shades of foundation, lipcolor, eyeshadow and blush is an achievement that will enhance your natural beauty and bolster your confidence. But in order to bring out your natural radiance, you have to first start with clean skin and pores. Putting make-up over clogged pores and blackheads will make it look dull and muddy.

Neutrogena’s Blackhead Eliminating Warming Cleanser is a great start to radiant skin. This self-warming cleanser loosens dirt in clogged pores and eliminates blackheads, It also contains microbeads that exfoliate, leaving the skin free of dead skin cells to bring out a fresh glow. A 2% Salicylic Acid solution added to the cleanser elminates excess oils to help reduce new breakouts.
