do u really have to wash your makeup off?

Question

sometimes when i'm really tired and sleepy i just go straight to bed without washing my face. what are the cons for not washing your face aside from clogged pores? (premature aging, maybe?) lol

Answer 1

Eh, probably nothing, besides not having clear skin. It's probably bad for your pores but I don't think it will really hurt too much else. You could get some of those Stridex pads to use on your face before bed. You don't have to wash your face, just wipe quickly and be done.

Answer 2

Yes, you should always wash your makeup off at night. If you don't, it can cause breakouts because the makeup can get clogged in your pores. Just always make sure to wash your face with hot water and a good cleanser, then pat it dry and use a toner (such as Sea Breeze) and then wait for the toner to dry and splash your face with cold water 10 times. That way your pores will be closed so that no bacteria gets inside of them! Hope I helped!

Answer 4

Well, yes, clogged pores, dirty, congested skin, and breakouts! You really need to always wash your face if you wear makeup, and it's reccomended that when washing, you take at least 20 seconds- that's how long it really takes to get 'clean' after a day of makeup, dirt, pollution, and who knows what else! I would reccomend keeping a pack of cleansing face wipes (available at any grocery or drug store) on hand for nights when you are too tired to do the soap and water routine- that way, after just a couple of swipes, you've removed a good amount of grime.

Answer 5

It depends on the makeup. Most will clog your pores and make your skin really unhealthy if you leave it on. I have makeup that looks good and feels good even if I don't wash it off at night. It doesn't cause the normal issues that you would have with other makeup.

Answer 6

I rarely wash my makeup off at night. I know I should though. But I don't think it will age you prematurely. I will be 43 in 2 days and I don't look any older than that. Most people think I am a little younger so it hasn't aged me I guess. But like I said I know it is better for you to wash it off.

Answer 7

You should wash off the makeup because unless you change your bed linen for the next night you'll have the rubbed off makeup all over your pillow case and your clean face. I know you wouldn't go to bed 2 nights in a row without washing it off !

Answer 8

well if you use any concealer or foundation(pretty much anything that goes on your actually face) then use should definetly wash your face because you put yourself in risk of really bad acne. if you only put eyeshadow & lip glosses or eyeliner (stuff like that) then you have nothing to worry about. but still its always better to wash your face at night. your makeup comes out better in the morning if there are no sloppy leftovers from the day before

Answer 9

when you are sleeping your skin absorbs wayyy more than it does when youre awake. if the only thing on it for it to absorb is makeup thats probably mixed with sweat, dirt and grimy stuff that just built up all day then its really bad for it! you may not break out, but your skin will not be as nice as it could be if you let it soak up healthy moisturizer instead of day old makeup!

Answer 10

Every night you don't remove your make up ages your skin 7 days. When you are young that may not seem like much, but over the years it can add up to many more wrinkles.
