Sleeping with Your Makeup On? Yuck!!

Sleeping with Your Makeup On?  Yuck!!

You've been at work all day, the house is a mess, and you've got to get up at the crack of dawn to start everything all over again.  So, your face will forgive you if you don't take the time to remove your makeup, right?

Wrong!

Part of the reason we created our makeup remover wipes in the first place is because we know just how bad it is to sleep with your makeup on.   Leaving your makeup on while you get some Z's can:

-  Turn your pillowcase into a breeding ground for bacteria

Every time you head to bed with a made-up face, you're leaving makeup residue on your pillowcase.  While the stains may come out in the wash in a few days, you're resting your face on a ton of bacteria in the meantime!  And, in true bacteria form, even just a little makeup residue will grow and thrive quickly -- meaning you could wind up with a face full of breakouts just from going to sleep!

-  Dehydrate your skin

The skin on your face (especially around your eyes) is very delicate.  If you don't remove your makeup, your skin won't be able to get as much oxygen as it needs to stay hydrated and repair itself overnight.  The end result?  Skin that looks dull, dry, and lifeless!

-  Make you look older than you really are

All of that makeup you're sleeping in is trapping free radicals against your skin -- the same things that cause wrinkles and fine lines.  Plus, free radicals attack collagen -- the stuff that keeps your skin looking firm and vibrant.  Sleep in your makeup enough, and you could wind up adding years to your appearance!  Yikes!
