Why Should We Always Remove Makeup?

Hello Beauties

Have you ever wondered why it is so important to remove every single piece of makeup from your skin at the end of the day? Well I’m here today to explain why, and yes I have slept in my makeup before when I was way too tired to even think about doing my nightly skin care routine. Nothing horrible will happen if this happens on those rare nights, but making this into a habit isn’t going to end well for your skin.

Applying makeup is a way for us to make ourselves feel extra beautiful (because everyone is beautiful bare faced), but it’s just nice to sit down and spend some time applying makeup at least for me it is but leaving makeup on overnight can have the opposite effect.

Skin is the largest organ of the human body and our skin is covered in pores that not only allow us to sweat, but they also secrete sebum or oil which helps moisturise and protect our skin. Sebum helps to remove dead skin cells and other irritants from the pores, the problem with makeup is it clogs pores and prevents sebum from doing its job so instead sebum builds up and can result in acne.

Another amazing thing about removing makeup before bed is that once the skin is clean, it will be able to breathe and regenerate during the whole night while you sleep. When makeup becomes impacted into your pores it can make them look larger and more noticeable, which none of us ever want to happen.

Ideally we want to remove any makeup from our face and then cleanse before applying a moisturiser, cleansing will make sure that the makeup and dirt is no longer on our skin but if you are having a long night and are just too tired. At least use a makeup remover or facial wipe to remove as much as you can, this will all help keep your skin clear and looking the best.

What are your favourite products to remove makeup? I am loving the Yes To Cucumbers Facial Towelettes and Bioderma.

Lots of Love Leann
