Why you should always remove your makeup before bed?

One of the oldest tips for skin care is to remove makeup before bed. This routine should be part of the daily life of everyone who wears makeup, since not doing so can negatively affect the aesthetics of the face. For many women, putting on makeup is part of their daily routine, which is an easy task to apply, but removing it is often a difficult task.

This means that it usually doesn't get deleted after all, which is a big mistake. Washing your face before going to bed has many benefits for the skin, such as: oxygenation, anti-aging, acne prevention, promotion of the penetration of facial products, relaxation of the skin.

What can happen if you don't remove your makeup?

The most dangerous consequence of not removing make-up before going to bed is the lack of cell turnover. This phase is carried out every night and at the same time eliminates free radicals that rejuvenate the skin. However, when the residue remains on the skin, it is not possible to perform both procedures at the same time.

Over time, a loss of elasticity in the skin, dehydration and lack of luminosity can occur. This makes us lose the natural opportunity to maintain a youthful complexion. Don't forget that eyebrows, eyelashes and the eye area can deteriorate, too.

Leaving makeup on your face can lead to dry skin and irritating breakouts. In the worst case, dermatitis or allergy can be diagnosed. The latter requires special treatment.

Why do cosmetics damage our skin if we leave them on every night?

The makeup base is usually thick and is prey to mites, dust and pollution residues that accumulate on the skin. Foundation blocks the skin's natural renewal and oxidation, allowing dirt to build up, preventing skin from breathing, leading to acne, blackheads, and signs of aging.

Mascara is one of the most damaging cosmetic products if we don't cleanse well at night. In addition to smudging, sleeping in mascara can weaken your lashes and increase the likelihood of them falling out. In more severe cases, irritation, allergy or even conjunctivitis may occur.

Sleeping without completely removing the remains of lipstick, causes dryness and cracks. For this reason, it is important to remove make-up with micellar water or a biphasic make-up remover. If you wear dark colors, exfoliation will help remove all traces. Then apply a lip balm before bed to keep them properly hydrated.

Correct procedure to remove make-up before bed

Use some micellar water, apply this product on eyes and lips. Then wash your face with cold water and some unscented soap. Do not use hot water, because it can irritate the skin.

You could use makeup remover wipes if you wish, as these contain chemicals that more easily remove cosmetics from the skin. After you have completely removed make-up, washed and dried the skin, apply some moisturizer.
