Sleeping with your make up on your face is probably one of the worst things that you can do to your skin.

Regardless of how tired you are after a long day at work or your educational institution, it is really important that you take off that layer of makeup before going to bed. And the negative effects multiply if you are using substandard cosmetics for your face and neck.

Skin experts have reaffirmed over the years that sleeping with makeup causes premature aging of the skin, as well as it attracts germs that cause acne.

Wearing makeup while sleeping also disrupts the skin’s natural renewal process which causes long term damage to our skin. Overnight application of makeup on skin also dries out our skin and maximizes the chances of occurrence of spots and zits.

When we sleep while wearing our makeup, we are blocking our pores and hence not giving our skin a fair chance to breathe. What this does in return is that it leads to pimples and serious problems of acne. What is even more horrifying is sleeping on the same pillow case the next night on which you slept with your makeup on the previous day.

The best way to deal with this problem is to cleanse every night before you go to bed with a cleanser, a cold cream or a makeup removing lotion.

However the easiest possible way to cure this problem is to use facial cleansing wipes that are available in different varieties, brands and according to different skin types. These wipes are like wet tissues which take off all of your makeup very easily and quickly.

So the next time you plan on ignoring all the makeup on your face before going to bed, think of the damage that you will be doing to your skin.
