Tips and Tricks to Treat Your Skin for Halloween

When you’re getting ready for Fright Night, don’t leave your skin looking like a fright! Halloween skincare is important. Knowing how to prep your skin underneath all that Halloween makeup plus how to take care of it afterward will ensure it looks beautiful when you wake up on November 1st!

Take a Step to Prep

If you want to keep your skin from getting agitated with that costume makeup, your best defense is by using a barrier cream. This will lock in hydration and keep the makeup from irritating your skin. Don’t forget your eye cream either to keep things from looking creased. Our Luster Eye Cream is collagen-infused which reduces the appearance of fine lines. It's the perfect base for any heavy eye makeup. 

Barrier creams are even more important when you’re using costume makeup that can stain your skin. Do you really want to show up for work the next day with a witchy-green tinge?

High Endurance Cream for Skin Barrier is a great choice because it is full of antioxidants and helps build immunity. It also calms redness and leaves all skin types – even sensitive and acne-prone – feeling nurtured. 

Halloween is that time where you can wear more makeup than usual or use it to complete the look of your costume. However, that costume makeup from the party store is often highly irritating. You don’t want to apply this stuff without doing a little patch test first to make sure it doesn’t aggravate your skin. 

Effects of Halloween Makeup 

Halloween aesthetics can make you make bad decisions. Exercise caution. When you choose that cheap costume makeup to complete your Halloween look, be careful! This stuff can cause severe skin irritation and redness. If you’re going to go all out for your costume this year, consider spending a little more on quality beauty products that are for theater or professional use. These will be less harsh on your skin. 

Make Sure You Properly Cleanse Your Skin After Halloween Makeup

As these types of makeup looks are much heavier than you usually wear, it’s imperative you properly cleanse your skin before going to bed. You want to remove every last trace though you need to do so without stripping your skin or scrubbing the makeup off, causing tears and damages. 

Hydrating Cleanser for Makeup Removal is as gentle as it gets with a creamy texture designed to remove makeup and other impurities without stripping out what your skin needs. Your face will feel clean, fresh, supple, hydrated, and nourished as it works to remove even the toughest makeup. 

Importance of Exfoliation After Cleansing

Once all that makeup is off though, don’t forget to exfoliate with care. This takes it that extra step to ensure that dead skin cells, impurities, and all traces of makeup are gone. You’ll want to follow with lotion and moisturizer afterward to lock in hydration and active ingredients that will help your skin refresh as you sleep.

What should you use to exfoliate? Sonage has excellent options for you, including Harmony Glycopolymer Solution and Glow to Go Glycolic Acid Peel Pads for gentle exfoliation. 

The first one instantly renews your skin for a burst of radiance in a toner formula of AHAs along with probiotics to restore immunity for healthy skin. Meanwhile, the pads are ideal for on the go moments, making it much easier to treat your skin to these benefits with easy-to-use pads when you’re not at home.

Lastly, finish up your skincare routine with our Vitality Nourishing Facial Oil. Packed with a blend of 10 essential oils, it offers a boost of hydration and instant radiation. It is the perfect treat to give to your skin after using heavy Halloween makeup.
