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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 💛
