Taking off makeup before bed is a fundamental step in the routine to maintain skin health. Know more about the subject.
Makeup is a great ally in everyday life and leisure time, it helps to improve your look and has a world to explore. However, it is very important not to forget about skin care and, therefore, take off your makeup before going to sleep.
The skin on our face is one of the most sensitive parts of our body and the habit of cleaning this region should be incorporated into our routine. This is because, in addition to makeup residue, our skin also accumulates pollution, moisturizer and sunscreen particles that can be harmful to our skin’s health in the long term.
Therefore, sleeping without cleaning your face can lead to the accumulation of these impurities and disrupt the renewal process that our skin carries out during sleep. According to dermatologists, there are several harms involved in not taking off your makeup before bed.
Why take off your makeup before bed
As already mentioned, the accumulation of residue from makeup products can be very harmful in the long term. This way, find out the main problems that sleeping with these residues can cause to the health of your face.
Premature aging
The substances present in makeup can leave the skin very sensitive when they remain on the face for many hours, not removing makeup before going to bed can then leave the skin quite irritated. Therefore, sleeping without cleaning your skin causes it to dry out and, consequently, accelerates its aging.
Increase in acne
Products and dirt that accumulate on the skin during the day can cause clogged pores. Therefore, along with the skin’s natural oil, not taking off makeup can contribute to the appearance of blackheads and pimples on the face.
Thinning eyelashes
Sleeping with mascara and eye shadow can be very harmful to eye health. The accumulation of these substances in the eyes causes the eyelashes to weaken and break. Furthermore, it is possible to develop various eye infections, such as conjunctivitis, sterols and other dermatitis.
Tips for removing makeup and care
Some basic care can be taken to avoid unwanted reactions to skin health. Therefore, to remove makeup, it is recommended to use makeup removers to facilitate this process. There are currently a variety of makeup removers for each skin type, so you can choose the one that best fits your facial cleansing routine.
It is also important to invest in suitable soaps, as makeup removers cannot act as deeply in cleaning. Additionally, look for toners and moisturizers to finish this care routine. And don’t forget to always take off your makeup before bed to ensure your skin is healthy.
