Sleeping with Makeup?

Back in the day, Middle School and the beginning of Highschool days, I slept with my make up on, didn't have to really "wash" it (just the normal body wash, or whatever I could get my hands on aka whatever my mom used), etc. People would say "wow your skin is flawless, what is your secret?" I told I don't really have one, and I sleep with my make up on.

I regret not taking care of it, cause after the first break out (and probably touching it and having the acne spread), I break out easy. So throughout the later years of highschool, I had to battle with acne and what not.

Fast forward, with two kids, job, school... family, I'm exhausted at night. I USED to sleep with my makeup on due to the fact I was super tired. But I've been paying for it lately... my stubborn acne is proof. So now no matter how tired I am, I force myself to stay up an extra 5 minutes so I can go to the bathroom and really wash my face off of makeup. (Most times, I just have foundation, my eyebrows, and eyeliner on).

I hear some mineral makeup are ok to sleep with, but it still felt icky comes morning time. That and I hear, for every night you sleep with your makeup on, your skin ages 3 days. After hearing that, with my stubborn acne/oily/sensitive skin, I wash my face before going to bed ALWAYS. (sorry long post)

I am guilty out of laziness. My husband bought me a pack of face wipes and them on my night stand, so there is no reason for me to not use one. I found that the huge pack of Kirkland wipes from COSTCO are just as good if not better as MAC wipes.

I have, until I noticed breakouts and dryness of my skin, also eyelashes falling off because of old dried mascara. Ever since then, I've made sure that no matter how tired I am, I HAVE to remove my makeup. I just moved my Say Yes to Cucumbers facial wipes to beside my bed.

BEST PRODUCT EVER! I'd definitely reccommend it. It makes you actually want to remove it because it gives you such a nice, fresh feeling, and takes off every ounce of makeup! Try it, and you'll have no trouble not wanting to remove it at night! :)

but it definitely is good for you and your skin to remove it at night! :)

Ditto to keeping the wipes by the bed! We have nicknamed our wipes the "party momma" wipes because they are full of Peptides! So no matter how late you stay up you can still look refreshed in the morning!

At first, I would fall asleep with it on. But now, I make sure to remove my make-up all the time. I even get paranoid if I take a nap with it on and I don't plan on going out again afterwards. The few times I did fall asleep with make-up on, I usually wake in the night paranoid. lol Like most, if I'm too tired to wash, I at least use a wipe.

I do it more than I'm willing to admit (I'm gross, I know). My skin doesn't break out very easy so it doesn't get clogged and leave a break out in it's wake.

Guilty as charged! Lol I do, but most of the time I try to take it off. There are nights that I am exhausted and just want to jump in the sheets with my son and husband! I hate the feeling of having it on at night though...especially because I get pretty oily mid-day. It feels gross if I don't wipe it off and wash my face...but my lazy side takes over once in a while. :-/

Removal is a must. It is so unhealthy for your skin and eyes to sleep in your cosmetics. Just eww! haha!

No matter how tired I may be after a long night, I always make sure I at LEAST wash my face, even if I don't get all of it off. It's so unhealthy for your skin and your pillowcase is disgusting after!

Removal is a MUST for me. Your face gets oily so your pores open and the makeup clogs them. Ew, ahha.

I do sometimes but always regret it when I wake up sallow faced and full of break outs! Not worth the laziness when it takes so long for my skin to recover :(

I try really hard not to so I rarely sleep with my makeup but if I do then I try wiping off just the foundation and concealer while I'm in my bed so it doesn't clog my pores I also have acne prone skin If however I do sleep with my makeup it's usually just the eye make cause I end up talking off my base while I'm in bed with makeup wipes but make sure in the morning to wash your face nicely with a make remover face wash and then use a toner after.
