We all know that taking off our makeup before bed is important, but it's easy to get lazy and skip this step. However, falling asleep with your makeup on can have serious consequences for your skin. Here are some of the reasons why you should never fall asleep with your makeup on:
1. Clogged pores - Makeup can clog pores, leading to breakouts, blackheads, and dull-looking skin. This is especially true for heavier makeup products like foundation and concealer.
2. Premature aging - When makeup is left on overnight, it can cause oxidative stress to the skin, which can accelerate the aging process. This can lead to fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of premature aging.
3. Inflammation - Leaving makeup on for extended periods can cause inflammation in the skin, which can lead to redness, irritation, and sensitivity.
4. Eye infections - Sleeping with eye makeup on can increase the risk of eye infections and irritation, as well as damage to the delicate skin around the eyes.
5. Poor skin health - When makeup is left on overnight, it can disrupt the skin's natural healing and renewal process, leading to overall poor skin health.
In addition to these negative effects, leaving makeup on overnight can also prevent your skin from properly absorbing skincare products, which can further exacerbate the above problems. So, no matter how tired or lazy you feel, it's important to take a few minutes to properly remove your makeup before bed.
We recommend double cleansing with our Makeup Removing Face Erase Oil followed by our Cleansing Face Wash. This combo will get every last bit of makeup off. Your skin will thank you in the morning!
