Sleeping With Makeup On?

Hello everyone, Yeimy and I just wanted to let you know a few of the reasons why you shouldn’t sleep with your makeup on!

            We are all guilty of this. I mean, who really wants to wash away so much hard work and dedication after a long day out? We figure that nothing can really happen to us if it’s only a few times. But, your skin is always changing and taking off your makeup is the number one way to ensure that it will not change for the worse.

            So, to scare everyone into scrubbing off their cakeface before bedtime, we found a few interesting facts about what happens to your skin if you sleep with your makeup on:

1.  Foundation: The biggest curse in the makeup world is the thickness of foundation. Basically, the particles and pigments that make you look amazing throughout the day are exposed to pollutants such as bacteria, mold, and mites from the environment around us. This also prevents the skin from refreshing itself which causes breakouts and blackheads.
2. Primers: Look at it this way, a primer acts as a glue to keep your makeup in place. Therefore, it can also attract the same pollutants to your skin that foundation does. But this time, the pollutants stick to your skin.
3. Lipstick: I mean, do you really want to stain and ruin your favorite pillowcases? Sleeping with lipstick, lipstains, or lipglosses, can chap and dry out your lips faster than anything else.
4. Mascara: I recently read that mascara particles can clog up follicles and irritate your eyes. This raises your chances of bacterial growth which further raises your chances of premature eyelash loss.
5. Eyeliner: Sleeping with your eyeliner on can result in the wax of the eyeliner building up and resulting in a wicked infection similar in appearance to pink eye. Usually, you have to take a make-up sabbatical during this time. I should know. This happened to me a few years ago and it was incredibly painful.

I did get a lot of this information from an Instagram account entitled @beautysecretsforall and I highly recommend that you all decide to follow. In total, I would just like to say that before bedtime, you should always remember to take off your makeup, use a gentle cleanser, a nighttime moisturizer, and your favorite chapstick.
