THIS IS THE BIGGEST BEAUTY MISTAKE WE MAKE BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP

Had I read this piece a few weeks ago, I would have participated wholeheartedly. Yes: I plead guilty, I took care of my skin noppes nada. But now I have turned my life around and I am here on behalf of the skin police to save your peachy skin.

More than half of the women I know do not clean their skin properly. I didn't either, you know, I would come home after a long day and just wipe my face with a makeup remover wipe, put on some cream, and that was it. The cleansing ritual for my skin? Wasn't that just that wipe? Well, no.

No liebe leute, if you want to approach it a bit professionally nowadays, you need to thoroughly cleanse your skin before moving on to the creams. Because those makeup wipes often do not actually remove your makeup from the finest pores 100 percent. And those same wipes do not kill the dead skin cells on your face either. They also do not improve blood circulation. Technically, it came down to me suddenly feeling like I had neglected my poor skin for years. Apparently, half of the women already know that good cleansing is important, and I belong to the ‘lagging’ half. And man, I didn't want that.

So I have recently started using the VisaPure Advanced from Philips. You know, one of those rotating brushes to use in the bathroom in the morning, evening, whenever you want actually. And okay, I admit: at first I was a bit critical (do those things really work?), but I have been using the device for a month now and I actually see a difference. A cleaner skin, a natural blush, and cheeks as soft as baby bottoms. If even your loved one notices it, then you know you are doing well.

So for all the beauty lovers who really love a nice lipstick here and there but don't want to complicate their beauty routine: this is for you. You take off your makeup in the evening, let the VisaPure with its magic brushes cleanse your skin, and THEN finish off with a nice cream. The Dior Hydra Life Jelly Sleeping Mask and Sisley All Day All Year cream are top-notch, in case you want to know. Even if you do it just three times a week, anything is better than nothing and trust me: your skin will thank you. And your loved one too, by the way.
