Pillow Talk

How many of you ladies are like me and sleep with your make up on?
Come on i know we have all done it.
But I am one of the people that no matter how many times you tell me not to do it i will still do it only because I'm lazy.
Before i go to bed the last thing i want to do is take off my makeup.
So its become a habit to simply just not do it.
I figure i will cleanse it off in the morning.
No biggy right?
WRONG!!
I decided to do my own little research to see why it is so bad to sleep in makeup.
This is what i found.....

1: if your not taking your makeup off you are causing your skin to stop renewing itself. Therefor you wake up will dull and tired skin.
2: Your clogging your pores and causing breakouts. Due to the fact that your skin secretes sebum which helps lubricate your skin, if you have makeup on you are blocking that from secreting and causing breakouts to occur.
3: When you go through your day you attract "free radicals" in the air and sleeping with these on your face, since they are connected to your makeup, will break down collagen causing wrinkles and skin aging. 
4: Mascara can cause eyelash breakage, eye irritation, and even an allergic reaction.

So i don't know about you guys but i am for sure going to be taking my makeup off before i go to bed now.
I do not want wrinkles or breakouts or for my eyelashes to break off!
Now that i have read these facts it makes a lot of sense why i have some of the skin issues that i do.
So how about you ladies?
What do you think about these problems?
Did this open your eyes to clean off your face or maybe to do some research of your own?
Give me your feedback I'd love to hear from all of you!

Also, comment below so i can find some more blogs to follow and comment on, you might be included in my next post ;]

  2. Hi,
    I'm like you and often don't bother to take my make-up off. I am definitely going to change that now. Thanks for letting me know how bad that was!

    1. I know I was so lazy about it but now I make sure to take it off every night. I've noticed the little bumps on my cheeks have started to diminish along with the redness! Hope you have good results also
