5 reasons not to wear makeup at night

Coco has written before how to go to bed looking your best. I get it, because you want to look appealing next to a man. It just doesn't mean you have to completely slather yourself with foundations, mascara, and other stuff. Because if you think you'll wake up looking your prettiest with that on, you're mistaken.

Still, many women really believe that the above ritual works. More than half of Dutch women go to bed at least once a week with all their makeup still on. Whether it's laziness or wanting to look good for a man, I don't know, but what I do know is that it's just plain stupid.

We may be really into smoothies and hanging out at the gym every day to look our best, but if you're too lazy to wipe your face with a cotton pad at night, those wrinkles and pimples will just show up. 32% Of the women, only in the morning does she clean her face and 82% takes just two minutes to clean everything. Only 33% of all women cleans her face twice a day. Enough percentages and research, I'm just going to tell you why you shouldn't wear makeup at night and definitely should grab that cloth and cotton pad .

One night of sleeping with makeup is equivalent to aging seven days in one night. So you're literally sleeping yourself into old age. At least, that's what a British researcher says. Whether it's true, I can't tell you, but the fear of having a wrinkled face at 29 is huge, so I faithfully grab a cotton pad every night.

You can apply whatever you want at night, but if there's still a layer on your skin, all those creams are completely useless. A painter works on a clean canvas, and it's the same with makeup and creams; otherwise, they can't do their job at all. So all those creams with Q10 and nourishing ingredients are nice, but they don't penetrate at all if the skin isn't clean.

With some mascara or eyeliner on your eyes, you not only wake up with mascara on your forehead or cheek, but it can also cause quite a bit of eye irritation. At night, you don't blink as often, so makeup and bacteria just stay in your eyes. Red eyes or even infections can easily be your new friend in the morning. And besides, with a thick layer of mascara, you get clumps, and those clumps can cause your eyelashes to break. I don't think you want to wake up without eyelashes.

If you leave your makeup on, your pores can get clogged, and you know what that means. Pimples. You don't want that. You want to prevent it. So clean.

You wake up with a face full of wrinkles, and you can apply whatever you want, but you really can’t just smooth those wrinkles out.
