5 good reasons not to sleep with your makeup on

If you also have the annoying habit of skipping makeup removal, it's time to change! Sacrificing this step in your beauty routine is a serious mistake because your skin risks paying a high price. To change this habit, read the following, no longer ignore the life-saving benefits of removing makeup on the health and beauty of your skin!

You risk having clogged pores and irritated skin

First of all, you should know that the particles present in your makeup risk clogging the pores if left on the skin for too long. This is particularly the case for foundation. To be able to evacuate sebum and sweat normally, clogged pores will tend to dilate. Very quickly, the face is prone to enlarged pores and unsightly spots. And that's not all because over time, the skin becomes irritated, giving way to redness and flaking.

But it's not just makeup that clogs the skin! The latter is constantly subject to external attacks such as pollution and bacteria carried by the hands. Hence the importance of cleansing the skin well before going to bed to allow it to regenerate properly.

This accentuates the appearance of signs of aging

As a general rule, we wear makeup to camouflage everyday imperfections such as signs of aging. However, when you don't take the time to remove your makeup in the evening, the opposite risks happening. By leaving the makeup film on the skin, the epidermis has difficulty hydrating and regenerating itself while you sleep. Every evening, you should always take the time to remove your makeup and apply a restorative night cream.

Your eyelashes become fragile

Removing eye makeup is essential. The ideal would be to remove all traces of mascara from your eyes because this product risks solidifying on the eyelashes if you do not take the trouble to remove them. Worse still, it risks slipping into the eye at any time, causing serious irritation.

Your lips may be dry

Lipstick residue is also harmful to the lips. Every evening, cleanse your lips with micellar water before applying a nourishing balm. You keep lips plump almost forever.

You will stain your pillows

You have to be careful of makeup residue which risks staining your pillows forever. What's more, if you have a weakness for waterproof products, they tend to hold up to washing.
