It's okay to sleep with makeup on - StyleLies
Filed under: Fashion, Beauty, How to Wear
Many women go to bed with their faces still painted. Is this okay?Absolutely not. Our personal doctor said that going to bed with makeup still intact can actually "age skin up to 7 times faster."
Why? Well first off, the cosmetics are making your skin weak. A perfect example she gave us is one we all know: If you wear mascara every single day all the time, your lashes will become brittle and will begin to slowly fall and thin out.
Second, not washing your face is just asking for your skin to become a bacterial breeding ground. Washing your face twice daily is imperative.
Last, she told us that on top of the non-washing, skin is also not getting the proper conditioning it needs by way of moisturizer, vitamins, or whatever else you should be slathering on in the evenings.
There are so many products out there made for the laziest of us. Even if you can't muster up the energy to fully wash, at the very least, wipe it down with a baby wipe or a similar facial product.

NEVER NEVER NEVER sleep w/ make up on (talk about clogged pores) but......sleeping w/ maskara on enough years can literally end your lash length permanently, I should know, it happened to me. I had the maskara remover and barely used it. I now have shorter eye lashes, and fake ones look silly on me..

While I can believe that sleeping with makeup on may clog pores, I'm very VERY skeptical of it actually aging the skin "7 times faster".
