Sleep is one of our bodies' greatest defenses against the wear and tear of everyday life.
Unfortunately, if you don't take your makeup off before hitting the hay, it can cause more harm than good!
Here at Cosmic Star Beauty, we understand why leaving a few extra minutes in your evening routine to cleanse your face might not always be a top priority—but trust us, it's worth it!
To help you make the best decision for your skin, here are 10 reasons why removing your makeup before bed is a must:
1. It reduces impurity and oil buildup in the pores
Leaving makeup overnight can acne-causing build-up in the pores, leading to breakouts and other skin issues. Removing your makeup before bed with Cosmic Star Beauty Cleansing Foam followed by a gentle face wash helps to keep your pores clean and prevent acne.
2. It prevents irritation
Makeup that isn’t removed before going to sleep can cause your skin to become irritated and inflamed, leading to sensitivity or other reactions. By cleansing your face every night, you’re ensuring that your skin stays healthy and free of any potential irritants.
3. It prepares your skin for nighttime treatments
If you want to get the most out of your nighttime skincare routine, you need to start with a clean canvas. Removing all traces of makeup before applying any treatments helps them to be more effective and penetrate deeper into the skin.
4. It reduces the risk of infection
Bacteria can accumulate on the skin throughout the day, and if you don’t remove your makeup before bed, it can lead to infection. Sleeping with mascara and other eye makeup may result in eye infections and irritation.
5. It helps keep your pillowcase clean
Sleeping with makeup on means that you’re transferring all the pollutants and germs your skin has accumulated throughout the day onto your pillowcase, which can result in breakouts. Taking a couple of minutes to thoroughly remove makeup and cleanse your skin will help keep your pillowcase free of any dirt or oil buildup.
6. It prevents premature aging
When you don’t remove makeup or sunscreen from the day before you go to sleep, it can lead to free radical damage which accelerates the aging process. By cleansing your face every night, you’re helping prevent any unnecessary wrinkles or lines caused by environmental stressors.
7. It helps keep skin hydrated
Removing your makeup before bed allows your skin to breathe and better absorb any serums or treatments you may use overnight, which can help to maintain the skin’s natural moisture levels.
8. It disrupts your skin's natural pH balance
Unbalanced pH causes your skin to “misbehave”. Skin appears dry, flaky, irritated, and inflamed and prevents skin cells from regenerating. Dead skin cells appear dry, dull, and lack luster. Maintaining clean skin while you sleep allows your skin to renew itself, promoting a healthy, radiant complexion.
9. It encourages better sleep quality
When you go to sleep with a face full of makeup, it can lead to clogged pores and blemishes that can impact how well you sleep at night. Making sure to always remove your makeup before bed will help you get those much-needed zzz’s.
10. It boosts skin glow
Cleansing your face every night helps promote healthier, brighter skin that has a natural glow. Plus, it makes your morning routine much easier since you don’t have to worry about washing away all of the dirt and grime from the day before!
