Never Go To Bed With Makeup On Your Face

Admit it, if you wear makeup, at one point or another, you have probably gone to sleep with it on. Whether you forgot you were wearing it or you were just too tired to bother removing it, it happens. The important thing is to make sure it doesn't become a habit. Makeup is supposed to help you look and feel beautiful, but leaving it on overnight has the opposite effect.

Our skin is covered with pores, and those pores not only allow us to sweat, but they also allow us to secrete sebum, a waxy lubricant that helps moisturize and protect our skin. Sebum  also helps remove dead skin cells and other irritants

The problem with gong to bed with your makeup on is that it clogs the pores on your face and prevents sebum from doing its job. Therefore, sebum builds up, which can cause acne. (Source:Mayo Clinc)

If you wan to avoid waking up to pimples,you need to remove your makeup each night before going to bed. You can use makeup remover, facial cleanser, cold cream or toner to cleanse your skin and make it free of make up. Don't forget to remove your eye makeup as well. Leaving it on could cause contact irritation, allergic reaction or even an infection. See a doctor if your eye becomes red,itchy or painful and you think it may be infected
