The face is one of the areas of the body that deserves the most care since any imperfection or problem will be reflected immediately. Their skin is more delicate and becomes more vulnerable, so you should know that sleeping with makeup can ruin your face .

Food, heat, cold, sweat, many factors affect the health and appearance of your face, but one of the most harmful habits is sleeping with makeup . You have probably heard of the consequences of this action, but due to laziness or “lack of time” you continue to incur it.

Consequences of sleeping with makeup

To stop you doing it, we show you some of the things that happen when you go to bed without cleansing and hydrating your face. Don’t you notice them? Let time pass and you will see that we were right.

Presence of acne, pimples and blackheads

The pores are clogged and the skin does not breathe. Consequence? A complexion full of pimples, blackheads and pimples with which you can imagine that the appearance of your face will not look good at all.

Eyelash loss

If you dream of long , thick and thick eyelashes , you will hardly be able to have them. To achieve this effect, masks are usually used, but if you do not remove them before sleeping, the eyelashes dry out and this affects the hair, causing them to fall out later or become brittle and brittle.

Possible infections

Bacteria lodge without asking permission and you can’t leave them there for long. They may appear spots on the face , acne and infections, so apply a thorough cleaning. Only then can your skin go safely into Morpheus’s arms and rest without worrying about the damage that sleeping with makeup can cause .

Harder to remove later

The more hours it remains on your face, the more difficult it will be to remove later. It sticks and runs making you look bad. So apply remover and a cleanser suitable for your skin type. Do not forget the moisture of your skin.

Dry skin

Dryness appears very easily when the skin has not remained with makeup for many hours. The vitamins and minerals that are produced during the night will not appear and, therefore, the skin will become dull and flaky . Other consequences that make-up produces for many hours is the creation of a layer that covers the skin, preventing the treatments to moisturize it from being effective, which takes longer for the skin to repair itself. Therefore, you can already understand why sleeping with makeup is not advisable .

Exposure to free radicals

Sleeping with makeup on can increase exposure to free radicals , explains Dr. James C. Marotta , which leads to the breakdown of collagen and causes the skin to age faster, known as premature aging .

Appearance of styes

Sleeping with mascara and thick eyeliner can lead to clogging of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands in the eyelids, according to dermatologist Dr. Schweiger “ When these areas become clogged they lead to the formation of small bumps called styes. “.

 

Chapped lips

Sleeping with any type of lip paint can cause dryness and cracking of the mouth. The best option is to hydrate the lips using balm instead of paint. With all these consequences that sleeping with makeup can cause, don’t you think it is a better option to remove it before going to sleep?

Other drawbacks

It has nothing to do with your beauty, but seeing the pillow full of makeup I do not think it is something you hallucinate. There are stains that are difficult to remove and if the cover is made of silk much more, so do not run the risk of damaging your lingerie. Not every day you can buy a new one.
