Skincare Tips For Halloween Makeup

It's almost spooky season, which means pumpkin carving, trick-or-treating, and incredible makeup transformations! Whether you're going for a look that's scary, glamorous, or funny, it's important to care for your skin before, during, and after application. When applying heavy makeup and/or face paint, a thorough skincare routine is essential to avoid clogged pores, breakouts, and irritation. By focusing on your skincare leading up to your Halloween transformation, you’ll shield your skin and make sure your makeup goes on smoothly and stays flawless throughout the night’s festivities.

Pre-makeup skincare

Halloween is the ultimate occasion to embrace your alter ego fully. Depending on your costume, your makeup might require intricate techniques with multiple layers and various products. To ensure a flawless application, your pre-makeup skincare routine should focus on creating a clean, smooth base that eliminates any flakiness or caking while also ensuring your look lasts throughout the night.

Use a gentle face cleanser

Begin by cleansing your face to rid your skin of impurities and unclog pores, giving you a clean slate for makeup to glide on effortlessly. Our iconic Soy Face Cleanser, enriched with amino-rich soy proteins, aloe vera, and cucumber extract, is designed to visibly soothe redness while providing hydration and nourishment to the skin.

Smooth and exfoliate your skin

You’ll want your complexion to be as smooth as possible — gently exfoliate your skin to minimize the potential for flaking, cracking, or caking. Because chemical exfoliants can cause skin sensitivity and/or irritation, a gentle buffing formula like our Sugar Face Polish Exfoliator is the best fit for the occasion. With conditioning sugar crystals, skin-softening grapeseed oil, nutrient-rich plum seed oil, and vitamin C-packed strawberries, this formula softly sloughs away dead skin cells, smoothing rough patches and refining the skin for a petal-soft texture and natural glow. Plus, the blend of plant-based oils helps maintain skin moisture and fortify the skin's protective barrier to ensure lasting comfort and hydration.

Prepare your skin for your Halloween party

Wrap up your pre-makeup skincare with the best serum for your face, specifically designed to meet your skin's unique needs. Our Vitamin Nectar Antioxidant Face Serum is the perfect choice for your Halloween transformation. This nutrient-packed formula, enriched with a skin nutrition complex, works by infusing your complexion with vital vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Experience a boost in brightness, smoothness, hydration, and visible signs of fatigue as over 480,000 microbubbles burst on your skin, delivering deep nourishment. This serum not only protects against the effects of a full face of makeup, it also ensures your glow shines through all night long.

Post-makeup skincare

After a night of dress-up, it's essential to refresh and restore your skin, preventing any unwelcome breakouts. We suggest following a streamlined three-step routine designed to cleanse, balance, and hydrate, soothing any post-party irritation.

Gently remove makeup

Our Kombucha 2-in-1 No-Rinse Cleanser & Prebiotic Treatment is a gentle face cleanser that effortlessly wipes away makeup and impurities while lifting pollutants from your skin. The multitasking no-rinse solution cleanses skin while maintaining your skin barrier for complexion clarity in a single step. Simply apply to a cotton pad and swipe to reveal refreshed skin, enjoying the benefits of antioxidant-rich kombucha for a refined complexion post-Halloween.

Rebalance your skin

After you’ve banished every trace of makeup, pamper your skin with our Kombucha Antioxidant Facial Treatment Essence. This uniquely crafted, double-fermented kombucha elixir, enriched with advanced metabiotic technology, enhances your skin’s natural enzymes to counteract oxidative stress — a major culprit behind dullness, dryness, uneven tone, and fine lines. Gently pat the formula into your skin to visibly clear, hydrate, and boost radiance.

Finish with a hydrating moisturiser

To complete your skincare routine and your evening, lock in the benefits of the previous two steps with our luxurious Rose Deep Hydration Moisturizer. Formulated to provide intense hydration for up to 72 hours, it leaves your skin with a dewy glow. Infused with damask rose, soothing rose water, and moisture-binding hyaluronic acid, this hydrating moisturizer replenishes your skin’s moisture reserves and fortifies the protective barrier, ensuring your complexion remains fresh and vibrant after a full face of makeup.
