If you sleep with make-up on, you risk the following consequences:
1. Clogged pores and breakouts: Make-up attracts pollution particles, dirt and other impurities while sitting on your skin. If these impurities stay on your skin overnight, they will clog your pores, which in turn will cause breakouts. Additionally, make-up caught in pores makes the pores appear bigger than they are.
2. Dull complexion and older appearance: The skin on your face repairs itself overnight. However, make-up interferes with this process. Make-up left overnight can settle into the creases and fine lines on your face, leading to itchy and irritated skin. Leaving make-up on overnight for prolonged periods of time can seriously hinder your skin’s overnight renewal process, leaving the skin damaged and worn-out. Additionally, make-up attracts free radicals during the day, and not washing it off can seal the free radicals on your face. Again, leaving the skin vulnerable to such oxidative stressors for prolonged periods of time can break down collagen and thus, speed up ageing.
3. Dry and irritated skin: Make-up itself applies in a layer on the face. This layer becomes a barrier between the skin and any moisturizers or serums you want to apply on it. Some make-up formulae even absorb moisture from the skin, especially powder formulae as they use moisture to set. Therefore, it is important to cleanse off makeup before sleeping so that your moisturiser can absorb and the skin isn’t dehydrated. Finally, leaving make-up on overnight for prolonged periods of time can irritate skin owing to the colouring and scents present in it.
