Aside from aging, sleeping in makeup can dry out your skin. Makeup blocks your skin’s natural exfoliation process, leading to a buildup of dead skin cells. The result? A dull, rough texture that’s anything but radiant. Your skin’s glow fades, replaced by a dry, lackluster look.
Beyond dryness, leaving eye makeup on can also irritate delicate areas. Eye makeup, especially mascara, can harbor harmful bacteria. These germs may lead to itchy, red eyes or worse—infections. So, next time you think about skipping the cleanse, picture crusty, inflamed eyes.
A quick cleanse doesn’t just wash away makeup; it clears away bacteria, fungi, and grime. Proper cleansing keeps skin clear, hydrated, and happy. Plus, a regular bedtime routine gives your skin the best shot at healing and rejuvenating while you sleep. Turn over to the next page for final tips!
