How To Protect Your Skin Before and After Halloween?
Yes! Halloween is a great time to have fun and be all dressed up in nice spooky costumes. And the best part is, it comes once in a year. But, should you let your skin suffer for it? Absolutely not! Don’t let your Halloween costume or makeup disrupt your skincare goals. One simple mistake can crash years of effort towards maintaining smooth and glowing skin.
In this article, join us as we dissect important skincare tips you can adopt to protect your skin from possible hazards before and after Halloween activities. While having fun this season, don’t forget you can count on us should you encounter any issues with your skin. At the same time, as the saying goes; prevention is always better than cure.
Now, let’s get down to things you should do to protect your skin.
Pre-Halloween Skincare Tips
One key to preserving good skin after Halloween is to fully prepare the skin before covering it up with costumes or makeup.
To do that, here’s a simple tip to follow:
Start your skincare routine by first cleansing your skin with Bleach Cream Soap to remove debris or dirt that is hanging around your pores. For your face, you may use Blanco Facial Cleanser. Of course, this step is crucial in every skincare routine. It ensures the skin is clean and ready to absorb products applied to it.
To ensure the skin is at its healthiest state before applying Halloween makeup, the next thing is to exfoliate with Apricot Body Scrub or Glycolic Acid to remove dead skin cells. Make no mistake! With dead skin cells, dirt or old makeup still hanging around your pores, you’d be at risk of developing clogged pores once you apply those heavy paintings.
Aside from heavy Halloween paintings, we are still in the fall season when the humidity level is low and the surrounding air seems to draw moisture from the skin. Hence, your skin needs hydration. Additionally, hydrating properly will reduce your skin’s tendency to absorb that makeup. For this, we recommend hydrating with Silky Serum and locking your skin barrier with Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer. Also, you may introduce a makeup primer.
Before putting those paintings on your skin, ensure they don’t contain harmful chemicals that can damage your skin. Check the ingredients on the label to see if they are okay to use around your mouth, eyes or other sensitive areas. For the safest results, we recommend using cosmetic-grade makeup which is less likely to trigger unforeseen skin problems.

Post-Halloween Skincare Tips
When the party's over, please resist the temptation of sleeping with your makeup. Yes! We get that you may be tired and longing for your bed.
For the sake of your skin, please don’t.
The aftercare routine is a vital part you should never miss. After a fun-filled night of makeup and drink, the skin will likely experience dehydration and the effects will show the following morning if nothing is done. To prevent this, here are a few things you should do.
Remove your makeup and thoroughly wash your face with Blanco Purifying Facial Cleanser and your skin with Bleach Cream Soap to restore PH balance. Doing this will help remove any leftover makeup still hanging around your pores. If your skin is sensitive or irritated, you may exfoliate again to remove damaged skin cells and unclog pores. However, this step is strictly optional.
After cleansing, the next thing is to use a gentle skin toner to remove remaining dirt, unify the skin, and prevent chances of breakout. For the process, we recommend our Bleach Toner which is an ultimate skin unifier. Once that is settled, introduce our Vitamin C & Mineral Gold Night Cream to replenish lost nutrients and effectively moisturize the skin. Furthermore, if you notice your skin is red or looks irritated, please avoid exfoliation for a few days and possibly other skincare products. At this time, your skin might need a break. Also, please resist the temptation of using last year’s makeup as you may be risking bacteria.
Wrapping Up
Halloween will be no fun if you develop breakouts at the end. Hence, we strictly advise you to consider your skin well-being during this period. Not every advertised Halloween makeup is good for your skin. As we earlier stated, using cosmetics-grade makeup is better. Still, you are welcome to ask us in case you have any doubts about any makeup product.
Again, be reminded that the above-listed tips are a simple basic step you can follow. If you need a more personalized routine based on your skin concerns, kindly schedule your FREE consultation with our licensed Estheticians online.
Once again, Happy Halloween in Advance. Have fun!
