Got home late tonight and feeling too tired and sleepy. Removing
makeup feels like trekking Mt. Everest!! Don’t be bugged. Sleeping with makeup
OCASSIONALY, once a while, does not makes much of a difference.
Yes, making it a regular habit is bad and will promote eye
infections, clogging of pores and may be acne.
Explanation
When I say sleeping with makeup on once a while doesn’t affects
your skin, is grounded on the fact that we wear makeup in a day for around 8-10
hours, so sleeping in it for another 8 hours won’t distresses the skin. But you
should not be sensitive to the products used, because if you are, they will stimulate
clogging and acne even in day time.
Sleeping with makeup everyday is reason for clogging of
pores, acne and probably eye infection. When we sleep, we rest our head against
a pillow and there is a continuous tug, pull and rub between the skin and the
pillow surface. This encourages the product to migrate near or at times inside
the eye, which causes redness and itching leading infections. This tugging and
pulling also pushes makeup deep in the pores which causes them to clog, and eventually
lead to acne.
So make it a habit to remove the makeup and follow a proper
skin care regime to avoid these unwanted invitees.
Products
There are many products available in market. These are
basically divided in three categories according to the ingredients and overall product.
Oil – water suspension
L'Oreal Paris Dermo Expertise Lip & Eye Make-Up Remover
Cleanser
Vichy Purete Thermale 3-in-1 One Step Cleanser
H2O Sea Results 3-in-1 Foaming Cleanser
Wipes
Kara Makeup Removal Wipes
Enough said about ready made products, they definitely make
life easier but why dread if you don’t have them handy!!
Homemade Remover
Oil, it’s as simple as that. Just take few drops of oil onto
the cotton pad, rub the face and see the makeup leave the skin. Now just wash
the face with lukewarm water and a facewash. Follow it with a toner. Done.
Which oil can we use?? Any, olive oil, baby oil, coconut oil
anything that’s available.
Heard of wet baby wipes?? They serve as excellent makeup
removers. And if they are good for delicate skin of new borns they are definitely
good for our face too. And normally they are very cheap too. Try baby wipes
from Johnson's Baby Wipes or Huggies Natural Wipes.
Stay Beautiful :)
