First of all I hope this is in the right category...:)
I was wondering is it important to remove mascara at night because I know you have to remove face make up because otherwise your skin goes horrible but do you have to remove mascara. Some days I will wear mascara and no other make up so was just wondering whether is had to come off...:) thanks;)

Yes. You need to remove all makeup. Mascara can rub off onto your skin, and cause wrinkles, acne, etc. My dermatologist says every night you leave your makeup on while you sleep you add at least 8 Months to your skin.

Of course. You should take everything off of your face/eyes at the end of the day. Mascara makes your lashes quite brittle and hard, which can make them weak and lead to loss of many lashes at night. Also, I've noticed if I accidentally left my mascara on, sometimes it makes me lash line a bit sore...it can also cause infection. I would try to take it off at least every night. Sometimes you may be too tired once every great while and forget, but don't make it a habit not to take it off.m.

I read somewhere that taking off mascara is very important because the mascara doesn't allow the lashes to breath, if that makes sense. Wouldn't want to risk damaging your lashes so take mascara off just to be safe (:

Yes! And I learned this the hard way because I never used to remove my mascara, and one day, I woke up with an infection in my eye! Simply put, I will never go to bed without removing my mascara again.. Also, I agree that it can make you're eyelashes weaker and it could damage them. Don't worry though, as long as you start removing your mascara at night, it'll be fine! :) hope I helped!!

Make sure you don't pick the mascara off with your fingers.

Mascara can be a demon if it isn't removed not only can it irritate your eyes but it could stay and it would make eyelashes stick together or cause them to fall off (according to my friend) but the basic thing is, it can cause infection.

If you don't remove mascara, then you will get mites and those aren't nice. Go to google images and search up mites. They're like little insects you can't really see
