Why You Should Stop Wearing Makeup To Sleep, According To Experts 

Hello, my lovelies!

If you have ever worn makeup to sleep, say aye. Aye!

I am so guilty, some of us more than others. Most of us know the many dangers of wearing makeup to sleep, but sometimes we can’t help it. I recently went three consecutive days without taking my makeup off and the result, to say the least, was devastating. I had substantial painful acne on my face and dry, patchy-looking skin that made me look years above my age! This cost me two weeks to partially recover from the damage. Just in case you are trying to pull a similar stunt, you might want to have a rethink.

Dermatologists have said that one of the dangers of sleeping with makeup might take its toll on your complexion, and skin issues such as acne, skin irritation, and premature aging might develop. They also say sleeping with makeup is so bad that it can significantly increase breakouts, blemishes, and skin dryness.

When we sleep, our bodies recover from the various stresses and hazards it experiences during the day; our skin sheds this and regenerates its cells. By leaving makeup on, we create a barrier to the skin’s natural exfoliation and replenishment process. Moreover, the makeup clings to free radicals in the environment; these free radicals result in fine lines and premature aging.

Sleeping consistently with makeup can cause dryness, redness, irritation, infection, swelling around the eyes, and chapped lips. Imagine all the heartache for 5hrs of sleep?

Also, you will have more wrinkles when you sleep with your makeup. The dirt and makeup trapped on your skin can cause some damage, leading to premature aging of the face and skin breakdown.

Especially people with oily skin that wear makeup to sleep can worsen their skin conditions. The same also applies to people with acne.

To avoid all these, makeup removers such as Neutrogena makeup Remover Towelette and simple wipes should always be by your bedside, in your car, on even in your purse for those super tired nights; you can wipe your face on the move before you get into bed. Also, remember to remove the lipstick and replace it with a great balm covering to put moisture on your lips.

Be good.
