Makeup and your skin

Makeup and your skin

Clogged Pores

It’s easy to skip washing your face at night, but the negatives far outweigh the positives of this habit. Sleeping in makeup can clog your pores and cause acne on the face. It also can irritate your eyes and cause bumps to form on the skin close to your eyes.

Premature Aging

Leaving makeup on your skin overnight can accentuate wrinkles and fine lines. Sun damage can also cause aging (and many people don’t wear sunscreen when they are wearing makeup). Age spots and wrinkles can appear as a result of not properly protecting your skin.

Dry or Oily Skin

Makeup products can make your skin drier or oilier than usual. Additionally, when people with naturally dry skin try to put makeup on top of their skin, the makeup can make their skin even drier. You can tell if you have dry skin from signs such as flaky or scaly skin. A shiny face is a sign of oily skin.

So if you wear makeup every day, like many women do, how can you protect your skin? 

Wash your face every night

It can be hard to motivate yourself to take off your makeup at night before you go to sleep, however, to avoid damaging your skin, it’s essential to develop this routine. 

Clean your brushes regularly

Deep cleaning your brushes will help get rid of the harmful bacteria on the brushes that come from your skin, example: sweat and dead skin cells, and the bacteria that comes from makeup products.

Find makeup products that are beneficial for your skin

Some products may dry your skin out, while others can make it oily. Try using a product that is oil, sulfates, phthalates and paraben free, while it also moisturizes and hydrates. Find out what i recommend in the video this evening.
