How to Remove Make-up

You can artfully apply makeup, and you know that stay-put makeup can keep your face looking fresh all day and evening. But then you get to the bathroom at night and must vigilantly remove all the makeup. What's the best way to do it?

Eyes

Creamy eye shadows, liquid liners and waterproof mascaras are difficult to remove. Try soaking cotton pads in a gentle eye makeup remover and hold the pads over closed lids for about a minute. Then gently wipe away the makeup without pulling and tugging the skin around your eyes. 

Makari has a very gentle make-up remover perfect for hard to remove eye make-up, face foundation, and lipsticks:

Lips

Your signature red stay-put lipstick keeps your pout delectably kissable all day, but can pose some hazards to your sheets and pillows. Warm water will not do the trick for long-wear lipsticks.  Soak a cotton pad in a gentle makeup remover and dab your lips until the lipstick comes off.

Face

You will definitely need Makari's Make-up Remover! Pour a quarter-sized amount into your palm and carefully dab the remover onto your forehead, temples, cheeks and chin -- and work the remover into the rest of your face, without pulling or tugging at the skin. Then apply a warm, wet washcloth over your face for one minute to allow the steam to work with the remover. Then gently pull the washcloth away while wiping off the makeup. Follow with a normal facial cleanser.

Makari's Deep Cleansing Lotion removes all dirt, grime, and makeup off your face:

The Danger of Hydroquinone

Makari strives to develop the highest quality products using the safest ingredients possible. Something we pride ourselves on is our Hydroquinone-free products which provide smooth, even toned, flawless skin without any harmful chemicals.

Hydroquinone is a chemical used in some skin care products that causes depigmentation. It has been found to be so dangerous that it has been banned in most countries in Europe, the FDA has proposed a ban on it in the United States, and they have also named it as a possible carcinogen (although sufficient tests have not been done to prove these claims). Makari products give you an alternative to Hydroquinone and provide a safe and natural way to care for your skin and to keep it fresh and beautiful.

Look Fabulous in Your 30s

Here are a few techniques to keep your skin looking great, flawless and sexy.

- Use a facial scrub to whisk away those dead skin cells which are making your complexion dull and lackluster.

Try Makari's Clarifying Scrubbing Cream:

- Under-eye bags and circles make you look older and tired. Laser treatments and a better diet can remove circles. Some good sleep using an elevated pillow helps to drain retained fluid under your eyes, leaving the area underneath your eyes flat and looking good.

- Stress and hormonal imbalances can cause acne to recur. Practicing stress-relieving exercises and good face care can help make those bumps disappears.  Consult with a doctor if you still have the blemishes. Some health conditions, such as polycystic ovary syndrome, could be the culprit.

Developing a Great Skin Care Routine - Morning and Night

Your skin is one of your best assets, so a good morning and evening routine will pay off with beautiful skin, so matter how busy you are. No idea where to start? Don't worry, we've outlined it for you below and given you some Makari products which should do the trick:

Cleanse

Give you skin a good clean, so matter if it is oil, dry or combination. Daily dirt, sweat and natural oils gather on your skin, clogging pores and leaving you with an unnatural sheen. A gentle skin cleanser works well for all skin types. You don't want to scrub your healthy skin, but rather take off the dirt from the surface so it doesn't get into your pores.

Caviar Clarifying Gel

Deep Cleansing Lotion

Exfoliate

Skin regenerates itself and grows new cells every day. But that means that about 30,000 - 40,000 skin cells are left behind on the surface. (Ewww!!) Exfoliating with a mild scrub twice a week at night keeps your skin looking and feeling healthy.

Clarifying Scrubbing Cream

Moisturize

Your morning and night routines should include moisturizer. When applying the right moisturizer for your skin, tap it around your face with your pinkie. Pay special attention to the delicate eye areas. Don’t tug or you will make more wrinkles.

Body Beautifying Cream

Moisturize Internally

Getting enough rest, exercising several times a week and drinking those glasses of water give your skin a healthy glow.

Love,
Team Makari
