Don’t go to bed with makeup on. Makeup left on overnight seeps into your pores, clogs them, and congests your skin. Make sure that you wash your face twice at the end of the day. Once to get the makeup off. A second time to wash the skin itself. Exfoliate daily. After washing your face at night, be sure to exfoliate. Use a delicate scrub. If you... More »
