Why is it important to remove your makeup every night?

An essential step for radiant skin

You’re not being told anything new: removing makeup is an essential step for preserving the beauty and health of your skin. Cleansing and removing your makeup every evening is necessary to allow your skin to breathe, regenerate, and remain radiant. At Les Huilettes, we believe that makeup removal, far more than just a beauty routine, can be a true moment of care and well-being. In this article, we’ll explain everything and even share our little secrets for perfect makeup removal... so you’ll never feel tempted to skip it again!

Why is it important to remove your makeup every night?

Of course, there are evenings when all you want to do is close your eyes and drift off to sleep. But before you do, your skin deserves a little freshening up! Here's why removing your make-up every night is essential:

1. To rid your skin of impurities

Pollution, dust, small invisible particles... a multitude of impurities accumulate on the skin during the day, which, if not removed, can lead to imperfections. Removing make-up eliminates these impurities, leaving your skin clean and healthy. It's like taking a deep breath after a long day! Without this step, pores remain clogged, increasing the risk of acne and a dull complexion..

2. To remove make-up (of course!)

If you wear make-up, even light make-up, leaving it on overnight is definitely not a good idea. Make-up, especially long-wearing or waterproof formulas, can clog pores and cause imperfections, even irritation. Your skin needs to breathe and regenerate overnight.

3.To help your skin regenerate

At night, the skin enters a phase of repair and regeneration. This is when cells are most actively renewed. By removing your make-up, you enable your night care products to penetrate deeper, optimizing cell renewal.

4. To prevent the signs of aging

The residue of pollution particles and make-up left on the skin can accelerate the appearance of signs of aging. They contain free radicals that attack skin cells, leading to the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and pigmentation spots. So, a rigorous cleansing routine every evening helps prevent premature aging by protecting the skin from these aggressions.

5. To balance the skin

Your skin is a little jewel of balance, and deserves to be treated gently. Proper cleansing in the evening helps regulate sebum production. Conversely, poorly cleansed skin can become too oily or too dry. Gentle cleansing, with the right products, helps maintain its balance and keep skin healthy and moisturized.

6. For a moment of well-being

How about transforming make-up into a real moment for yourself? Using products with pleasant textures, such as Huilette Cleanse, can transform this ritual into a relaxing sensory experience. By gently massaging your face, you enjoy a moment just for yourself to relax and release the stress of the day. A great way to end the day gently and prepare your skin (and mind) for a restful night.

We already detailed our make-up removal routine in this article: Why is it important to cleanse your skin properly? Today, we're turning the spotlight on our Huilette Cleanse, the make-up removal oil that does it all!

Focus on Huilette Cleanse: your make-up removal ally

At Les Huilettes, we've designed Cleanse, a 100% natural and organic make-up removal oil that's 100% effective! Cleanse gently removes make-up without drying, and works miracles on the skin thanks to its precious active ingredients. Formulated with Coconut, Jojoba and Oregano oils, it combines effectiveness and benefits to reveal a radiant complexion. We tell you a little more about these magical ingredients.

Coconut oil, softness and hydration

Coconut oil is a real treasure for the skin. It's rich in fatty acids, making it an excellent natural moisturizer. Thanks to its anti-microbial properties, it also helps fight the bacteria responsible for blemishes. By removing make-up with Coconut oil, you cleanse your skin while deeply moisturizing it. No more tightness after make-up removal! Your skin will be soft and supple, with absolute comfort.

Jojoba oil, the perfect balance

Jojoba oil is often called “liquid gold” for its exceptional properties. Its composition is very similar to that of sebum produced by the skin, making it particularly effective for rebalancing oily skin and moisturizing dry skin. It penetrates quickly, without leaving a greasy film, and deeply nourishes the skin. Thanks to Jojoba oil, Huilette Cleanse removes make-up while respecting your skin's natural balance.

Oregano oil, purity and protection

Finally, Oregano essential oil is renowned for its purifying and anti-oxidant properties. It helps combat impurities and protect the skin against external aggressions. Oregano essential oil has a “peeling effect” that helps skin regenerate and glow. Its anti-bacterial power makes it an ideal ingredient for preventing imperfections. In Huilette Cleanse, Oregano oil works in synergy with the other oils to leave skin clean, purified and luminous.

Cleanse's formula combines other oils (Argan, Olive and Sunflower, rich in Omega 3, 6 and 9, and surfactant-free) that protect and respect the skin's hydrolipidic film.

Its subtle fragrance provides well-being and relaxation (Green Mandarin, Petit Grain, Roman Chamomile and True Lavender).

How to use Huilette Cleanse for the ultimate make-up remover?

Huilette Cleanse is used on dry skin. Here's how to use it:

1. Pour a few drops of Huilette Cleanse into your hands.

2. Gently massage your face in circular motions. This technique dissolves make-up and stimulates blood circulation. It's time to relax and enjoy this little massage!

3. Pay particular attention to the most heavily made-up areas, such as the eyes and lips.

4. Rinse with lukewarm water, and voilà, your skin is clean and soothed.

You can also use a washable cotton pad to complete the cleaning.

The advantage of Cleanse is that it is both gentle and effective, ideal for all skin types, even the most sensitive. Its natural formula respects the skin's balance, while thoroughly removing make-up.

Here's a little tip: take the time to massage your face, as this activates microcirculation and gives you an even more radiant complexion!

The benefits of double make-up removal

The double cleanse not only cleanses your skin thoroughly but also rebalances it.

The first stage of double cleansing is carried out with an oil, whether you're wearing make-up or not. We saw above the benefits and effectiveness of Huilette Cleanse for this first oily phase of double make-up removal. In fact, oils are the most effective at dissolving all greasy substances (excess sebum, make-up, pollution, sunscreens).

The second stage is the aqueous phase. Once the skin has been cleansed of impurities using the Cleanse oil, the aim is to use an aqueous product to complete the cleansing and remove dead cells. Use Les Huilettes extra-gentle soap, which you lather in your hands to massage all over your face, before rinsing with water. This extra-greasy soap won't dry out your skin, leaving it feeling soft and clean!

The freshness of a moisturizing mist!

To complete the cleansing and provide a sensation of freshness, top off with a few spritz of our MIST moisturizing and anti-dark spot facial mist.

With its exclusive formula based on patented, objectivized active ingredients, our MIST mist offers triple protection against hydric, oxidative and cellular stress.

MIST is ideal for dehydrated skin and dull complexions, revitalizing them with just a few squeezes. With its floral scent of Lemon Balm, Rose and Geranium, MIST provides a sensation of freshness and well-being, perfecting make-up removal before the night.

The effectiveness and pleasure of an anti-aging night serum

Your perfect make-up removal allows your skin to benefit fully from the anti-aging and relaxation benefits of your night care products. 

Apply a few drops of NIGHT serum, the Huilettes bestseller, for an olfactory and sensorial experience that in no way overshadows its effectiveness! Thanks to a unique synergy of 7 essential oils and 4 plant oils selected for their smoothing, regenerating and firming effects, this serum boosts collagen synthesis. Its aromatic fragrance with a pink floral heart and white flowers invites you to relax and let go. Ylang ylang, with its aphrodisiac virtues, soothes psycho-emotional tensions and gives way to the pleasure of the senses. Caution: high risk of addiction with each passing night!

In short: Why should you remove your make-up every night?

As you can see, removing your make-up every night is not an option, it's essential for preserving the beauty of your skin.Make-up removal eliminates impurities, promotes cell regeneration and prevents premature ageing. And with Les Huilettes, this ritual becomes a real pleasure, gentle and effective.

So the next time you think of skipping this step, remember the benefits you're offering your skin... and savor this moment just for you. Because beautiful skin starts with a good cleansing routine, every night.
