sleeping with makeup on

Sleeping with makeup on:

Let’s admit it! we all have slept with makeup on because we’re too lazy and sleepy at night to wash our face. Even if it’s as simple as using a wipe to take off our makeup, it seems like quite the task. The major reason for most skin issues like dull skin, blackheads, pimples and dark under eye circles is all due to sleeping with makeup on. Your skin needs to breathe and heal at night but if you’ve makeup on, it block your pores and cause problems. Some affordable makeup removers which easily remove every bit of makeup  are Neutrogena Cosmetics Makeup Remover, Simple Cleansing Facial Wipes and L’Oreal Paris Clean Artiste Waterproof & Long Wearing Eye Makeup Remover.
