It may not take very long to apply your makeup every morning, but after a long and busy day, the extra few minutes necessary to remove your foundation, eye makeup and lipstick before crawling under the covers rarely seem worth it. There are plenty of excuses to avoid removing the war paint: you’re exhausted, there’s barely any makeup on your face, you can just scrub it off with your shower gel tomorrow morning. But none of those excuses will help you achieve skin that looks healthier and more youthful than your real age. Here are three good reasons to take the time to properly cleanse your skin from all those powders and creams.
Leaving your makeup on overnight can cause breakouts.
Many cosmetic brands are not non-comedogenic (which means it won’t clog your pores), so when you refuse to remove your makeup, you’re risking adult acne breakouts and blemishes. You’re not only allowing your pores to be clogged by the makeup you applied, but also all the dirt and bacteria your skin encountered during the day. Inflamed skin can be so easily prevented with just a quick swipe of makeup remover and a few dabs of face wash, and healing acne that already exists is easier when your skin is clean.
Leaving your makeup on overnight doesn’t allow your skin to breathe.
When you apply your makeup, you’re essentially creating a barrier between your skin and the air around you. When you fall asleep without removing that barrier, your skin cannot breathe. Allowing your skin to breathe is important because it allows the skin to heal itself and use its natural oils to keep it healthy over time. Not to mention that if skin can’t breathe, it is aging faster than it normally would. Use a facial cleanser after removing your makeup to make sure every trace of dirt is gone.
Leaving your makeup on overnight means you didn’t moisturize.
If you want your skin to remain young and fresh, you absolutely must slather on the moisturizers every night before you go to sleep. If you’re passing out with your makeup still intact, there is no chance that you’re using your face moisturizer properly. Do not double-whammy yourself — remove that foundation to prevent breakouts, and slather on some skin lotions or moisturizing cream for soft and supple skin.
There really is not a good reason to ever leave your makeup on overnight; even if you manage to make it through the night without smudging your mascara (or your pillow), you’ll still have to wash it off in the morning before you re-apply. By then you’ve lost the chance at benefits such as glowing, moisturized skin, and the secret to how to look younger remains out of reach. Make sure you always make the effort to cleanse your skin before you retire, and you’ll maintain that youthful look for a long time.
