We’ve all had those nights where we were too tired to remove our makeup before going to bed.

We knew that it wasn’t ideal for our skin, but apparently, it does more harm than we thought.

Ladies: Here are 6 reasons why you shouldn't sleep with makeup on | Pulse Ghana

It Can Cause Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As you snooze, your skin works overtime to repair and replace damaged cells. However, sleeping with a layer of makeup on your face can hinder that natural renewal process from happening. When you sleep with makeup on, it can lead to premature aging by getting in the way of your skin’s cell renewal process and breaking down healthy collagen instead.

8 Reasons Why Sleeping In Makeup Is Terrible For Your Skin

It Leads to Dry and Dull skin

If you leave makeup on overnight, it can block any oxygen or nutrients from entering your skin. And as mentioned above, it can impede the natural shedding away of dead skin cells. When you sleep with your makeup on, the skin is unable to properly exfoliate. Natural exfoliation refers to the shedding of the epidermis (aka the cells in the upper layers of skin). This entire layer is regenerated every 28 days on average, so sleeping with your makeup can slow down this process, leading the skin to look dull and dry.

It Can Cause Acne and Breakouts

It’s important to remove makeup and other buildup from your skin before turning in to prevent clogged pores and irritation. Makeup is often formulated with oils and other ingredients that can lead to breakouts or sensitivity of the skin. On that note: Make sure you regularly wash your pillowcases, too. Unclean pillowcases can lead to even more pimples, blackheads and breakouts.

Here below are five things that point to you if you are crossing the line to skincare or not.

1. Using most, if not all your money, to buy skincare products. This shows how obsessed you are getting with the look and feel you would get from your skin.

2. Buying every trending or new skincare product. When you don’t even stick to one brand of skincare product but run from one to one, it is a clear sign that you are obsessed and may not know exactly what you want for your skin.

3. Having a complex skincare routine. Doing a lot of things for the skin all at the same time is hazardous because, you wouldn’t know which part of the routine works well or not. This spells obsession with skincare.

4. Addiction to skincare videos or tutorials. When all you do with most of your time is look for where to get the latest information on skincare, you have to watch it or you would be called obsessed.

5. Possessing multiple brand products that do the same thing. This too is a sign of addiction to skincare products.

Always try to wash your feet daily using a mild soap not only helps ward off germs, dirt but the warm water can help stimulate circulation to your feet and toes, which helps toenails grow healthy and strong. Be sure to scrub your toenails with a foot brush while bathing and thoroughly dry each foot, including between the toes.

Regular trimming

Make sure you inspect and trim your toenails with a good pair of toenail clippers about once a month. It is very important that you trim your toenails properly in order to help prevent ingrown toenails and bacterial and fungal infections. Remember, do not you should also never cut your toenails too short.

Whether you go for a professional rub, receive help from your partner or do it yourself, occasional foot rubs will help keep the circulation in your feet and toes strong. Good circulation gives your nails a rich blood supply.

Be cautious of your pedicures and nail polish

Some professional pedicures can leave your toenails vulnerable to toenail fungal infections, and nail techs often cut your cuticles which can lead to infection. Meanwhile, some non-organic nail polish can leave your toenails stained yellow, and some nail polish remover can significantly dry out your nails, leading to unattractive peeling and cracking. Hence, it’s best to use caution when treating your feet and toes to pedicures.
