You may have been told that falling asleep without removing your makeup isn鈥檛 good for your skin. I鈥檝e learned that is very true!
Why? You鈥檙e throwing a 鈥渄irt party.鈥� If you don鈥檛 remove your makeup at night, the powder, shadows, and cremes you鈥檝e worn for 12+ hours will combine with the dirt, debris, and oil that has accumulated on your face throughout the day. And it will all sit there on your skin, mixing and mingling for another six to eight hours while you sleep.
You鈥檙e clogging your pores. And did I mention the oils, dead skin, and grime from your hair that is on your pillow? This will help to push all the dirt and debris right into your pores, leading to blackheads, breakouts, a dull complexion, and overall congestion.
You鈥檙e preventing your skin from doing its overnight job, including regenerating and repairing the day鈥檚 damage. Your skin behaves differently at night, cell turnover increases, trans epidermal water loss increases, oil production decreases, and blood flow increases. There鈥檚 a lot of important work to do, and you need to give your skin a proper cleansing, rehydrating, and an overnight rejuvenation treatment to help the process get done as effectively as possible.
