We women are very fond of makeup. It makes us look alluring and can even change our overall appearance. It gives us confidence and assists us in carrying ourselves well wherever we go.
However, some of us get lazy at the end of the day to remove the makeup that we had" on our faces and some of us have the habit of sleeping with the makeup on, which can harm the health of the skin.
Our skin needs to breathe! Sleeping with makeup on can block the pores and can hamper the sweat to be excreted out properly. Hence, this clogs the pores and paves a way for blackheads, whiteheads, acne and pimples.
It also hampers the skin renewal process, causing more damage to the skin. The more you sleep with your makeup on, the greater is the skin damage.
Therefore, removing makeup before sleep is a must! Sleeping with makeup on has several disadvantages to the skin. Thus, in this article, we at Boldsky will be listing out some of them. Read on to know more about it.

is not only healthy but also cheap.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes and face to remove make-up. Be gentle.
• In the case of lipstick, use your eye make-up remover to get rid of it. After you have removed it apply some petroleum jelly or ghee to help keep your lips moisturised.
