Skin Care After Scare: Post-Halloween Skin Tips 🎃✨ October 10, 2025

Halloween is all fun and games—until your skin starts to feel the effects of heavy makeup, face paint, and late-night festivities. Whether you rocked a full glam vampire look or covered yourself in glitter and fake blood, your skin deserves a little extra love after the scare. Here are some tips from our future beauty pros (with a little help from Dermalogica!) on how to keep your skin healthy and glowing after Halloween:

1. Remove Makeup (The Right Way!) 🧼

Sleeping in your costume makeup is a fright for your skin. Instead of using just makeup wipes, try a double cleanse:

• Start with Dermalogica PreCleanse—an oil-based cleanser that melts away heavy face paint, long-wear foundation, and even waterproof eyeliner.

• Follow with Special Cleansing Gel to wash away any leftover residue without stripping your skin.

2. Don’t Scrub Too Hard 🧽 

It’s tempting to scrub away fake blood and glue from prosthetics, but harsh rubbing can irritate your skin. Be patient and use micellar water or cleansing balms. For gentle exfoliation later in the week, try Daily Microfoliant, which brightens and smooths without harsh scrubbing.

3. Soothe and Hydrate 💦

After your skin has been through layers of paint, powders, and adhesives, it needs hydration. Spritz Multi-Active Toner to refresh and rebalance, then apply Skin Smoothing Cream with hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture.

4. Give Your Skin a Mask Moment 🧖‍♀️

Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque restores stressed-out skin with antioxidants—perfect after a long Halloween night.

5. Don’t Forget Your Lips 👄

Dark lipstick and costume makeup can leave lips dry and cracked. Gently exfoliate with a sugar scrub, then follow with Renewal Lip Complex for lasting hydration.
