Deeply cleansing your skin before heading off to bed is the one way ticket to gorgeous skin. It'll remove impurities accumulated throughout the day (pollution, smoke, sebum), make up and allow your skin to breathe. It will also help it to soak up active ingredients - anti-ageing, mattifying, hydrating and so forth. Go gently, however, as you don't want to harm the protective hydrolipidic film. Start by placing a soaked cotton pad on each eye to dilute greasy eye shadows and mascara. Leave it for a few seconds and then remove any grime by working in a figure of '8', making sure you don't break off any eyelashes. Cleanse the rest of your face using your fingers, so you don't end up rubbing and irritating your skin. You can use an oil, gel or cleansing lotion. Use circular movements over your forehead, cheeks, chin and sides of the nose. And don't forget your neck! Remove all traces of your cleanser with a cotton pad soaked in warm water and finish off with a spritz of thermal or floral water
