4 NASTY THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN SLEEPING WITH MAKE UP ON
The 4 nasty things that REALLY happen to your skin if you sleep with makeup
WE'VE all done it from time to time - gone straight to bed without taking your makeup off.
It's not a big deal every so often, but if you aren't cleaning your face most nights it can have a nasty effect on your skin.
A whole host of skin problems can develop if you don't take your makeup off overnight
You can develop infections and breakouts if you aren't properly removing the day's grime and makeup.
Here we explain what can happen and why...
Breakouts
If you sleep with your makeup on you are preventing natural oils and daily dirt from being removed.
This can then result in breakouts and spots.
All of the oil and dirt gets trapped and stuck in your pores, which irritates the skin and causes breakouts
Lou Sommereux, Clinical Director at Cosmex Clinic, a leading skin rejuvenation clinic in Cambridge told the MailOnline: "Bacteria is the main cause of breakouts.
"Throughout the day your makeup mixes with a whole host of bacteria and pollutants from the environment; these by-products break down into your makeup, getting sucked up by your pores.
To prevent breakouts, the answer is annoyingly simple: take your makeup off before you go to sleep.
"A double cleanse is an absolute must to remove all traces of makeup, bacteria."
Wrinkles
Any dirt and makeup left on your face overnight causes damage.
This can then lead to a breakdown of the natural moisture barrier in your skin, which slows down collagen production - collagen is what keeps skin looking young and healthy.
By letting it get damaged you could get early wrinkles and older looking skin.
Not removing layers of makeup can also keep dead skin cells trapped, which will keep a dull complexion.
Simply taking your makeup off and washing your face each night will help keep your skin looking brighter.
Eye infections
Leaving eye makeup on all night can irritate the delicate skin.
It also means you remove the first line of defence in preventing any infections.
If your eyes are covered in makeup and the skin can't breathe, irritations and infections are likely.
Sleeping with eye makeup on means you are spreading bacteria around your face and eye area.
Dr Martin Kinsella, a cosmetic doctor from Re-Enhance Clinic, said: "The side effects that come with sleeping in makeup can include itchy, bloodshot eyes, an allergic reaction, and even a full-blown infection if you are not careful.
"Your pillow already holds a lot of bacteria, by adding makeup to the equation you are asking for trouble.
"Think about it, if you sleep in makeup for three days, that's three days' worth of additional bacteria hitting your face every night.
"Not only can this lead to eye infections, which can be tricky to clear up - but it can also lead to acne."
Rashes
Many makeup products include dyes, perfumes and fragrances.
If these are left on the skin for a long time they can cause inflammation - this is risky for people with sensitive skin or rosacea.
If you know you have sensitive skin then make sure you are following a good routine to allow your skin to recover overnight.
