Makeup Removal Mistakes That Could Be Ruining Your Skin

At Salon 123, we love helping you achieve glowing, healthy skin — but what you do at home makes all the difference. One of the biggest game-changers? Removing your makeup properly. Here are a few common mistakes we see and how to fix them.

💧 Sleeping in Your Makeup

We’ve all done it — but it can block pores, cause breakouts, and leave skin looking dull. Always remove your makeup before bed, even if it’s just with a quick cleanser.

🧴 Only Using Wipes

Makeup wipes are handy, but they don’t clean everything. Use them as a first step, then follow up with a gentle cleanser to fully remove dirt, oil, and SPF.

🙈 Skipping Delicate Areas

The eye area, hairline, and neck often get missed. Leftover makeup here can cause irritation and breakouts. Be thorough and gentle, especially around the eyes.

🧽 Reusing Dirty Tools

Reusable cloths and brushes are great — as long as they’re clean. Dirty tools can spread bacteria back onto freshly cleansed skin, so wash them often.

Pro Tip from Salon 123

Try a simple double cleanse at night — remove makeup with an oil or balm first, then wash with a mild cleanser. Finish with moisturiser to lock in hydration.

Your skin will thank you — and you’ll get even better results from your treatments at Salon 123. 💛
