It’s not good for your skin or your sheets.
You might think,It’s late.
Going to be bed without washing your face is bad news and can have a cumulative harmful effect.
Pores get clogged
Sleeping with makeup on is murder on your pores.
“When the pores are blocked, your skin gets bumpy.
If you are acne-prone, it can even lead to breakouts.”
You are effectively damaging skin by neglecting to remove makeup at the end of the day.
He tells me, “Just like our internal organs, our skin is always at work.
Skin is made up of water, protein, lipids, and different minerals and chemicals.
You damage skin cells
Skin cells are also damaged by the practice of sleeping in makeup.
Dull, sallow, or parched skin is not.
But sleeping in it can cause the opposite effect.
“These clogged pores are the pre-cursor to acne-like breakouts and make the skin look dull and lifeless.”
You interfere with the reparatory process
Our bodies regenerate while we are at rest.
The same holds true for our skin.
If you leave makeup on, it disrupts these critical processes.
You set yourself back
As stated, when you sleep, skin regenerates and heals itself.
Dermatologist Dr. Kathy Taghipour of Savana Urban Spa tells me, “When you sleep, your skin regenerates.
When your pores are blocked, your skin can’t breathe, and thus it can’t regenerate.
It’s not worth it.
Take that makeup off, people!
The same principal applies to age spots/dry spots too.”
“So sleeping with makeup on interrupts this process and clogs pores!
Otherwise, the eye area will respond by being puffy and red.
Lashes protect our eyeballs from dust, pollen, and environmental pollutants.
The result: swollen, red, irritated and tired eyes.”
That’s why it’s important to take it all off, per Lancer.
Use a gentle remover.
Your lashes will thank you.
Yikes,” Sydney Ziverts, Health & Nutrition Investigator forConsumerSafety.org, tells me.
Eyelid eczema
Eczema is a common skin issue for many, but on the eyelid?
Treatment with a dermatologist would be indicated if this occurs, usually using a low potency topical steroid."
When left on overnight, mascara can dry up and cause your lashes to break or fall off.
This is problematic as eyelashes are essential for protecting our eyes from any dust and debris.
But there is a bigger problem.
“When you wear your makeup to bed, you’re actually spreading the problem.
Think of it like walking the streets of New York barefoot and then crawling into bed.”
You get chapped lips
Chapped lips are the worst.
Plus, cracked, flaky lips are not the surface you look for when applying gloss or lipstick.
Don’t break with routine
Routines and regimens are critical for your skin’s health.
“This ‘gook’ makes your complexion look dull and pores look even more clogged that normal.
