Removing natural cosmetics at night leads to brighter, rejuvenated skin

Ladies should make sure they cleanse properly and remove all traces of natural cosmetics at night, as this is the time when skin regenerates most effectively.

Stylist magazine told a reader that while leaving natural cosmetics on will not cause more rapid ageing, it can clog pores and lead to blackheads or spots.

While natural cosmetics are gentle on skin, ladies should still remove items which are not meant to be kept on.

The magazine added: 'Your skin does regenerate the most at night so it's good to prime it into a responsive state, allowing your products to get right into the deeper dermal layers.'

Tracey Malone, who has perfected her own skincare regime, said that cleansing skin of all natural cosmetics gives a peachy sheen and allows products to reach the dermal layer.

It is particularly important to cleanse at this time of year, as skin is recovering from the excesses of new year and is coping with the harsh weather.
