If you think you’ll save time and effort by not removing makeup before bed, you’re wrong. In the morning, you will have to spend two to three times more time on grooming than usual in order to eliminate the consequences of a rash decision. Here are step-by-step instructions for restoring the skin after sleep with decorative cosmetics on the face.
Why you can’t sleep in makeup
One selfless British journalist, as an experiment, did not wash off her makeup for a month, and only renewed it in the morning. During this month, according to colleagues and photographs, she began to look 10 years older. And not only because of several layers of “plaster” on the face. Such treatment of the skin is a direct path to its premature aging.

At night, the process of skin regeneration takes place, recovery mechanisms are launched, including the active production of sebum. The makeup left over from the evening mixed with sebum is an unsightly picture. Dead skin cells also join the unwashed makeup with sebum, since exfoliation is more intense at night.
The main “repair work” takes place from 23 p.m. to 4 a.m., while the sleep hormone melatonin is most active. That is why the skin looks better, you just need to get enough sleep. And if makeup remains on the face, the work of melatonin goes down the drain.
First aid. Step 1: Micellar oil
First of all, you should look in the mirror, be horrified and make an irrevocable decision not to repeat such an experience under any circumstances, send the pillowcase to the wash and immediately start removing makeup. We recommend choosing not just cleansing milk, but, for example, micellar oil or another biphasic product that can even cope with waterproof cosmetics. Eyelashes and the eye area will require special care, so a gentle yet effective formula suitable for the eyelids is needed.
Micellar water with oils, Garnier Removes even the most stubborn makeup and softens the skin at the same time.
Biphasic micellar water, L’Oréal Paris effectively removes waterproof make-up from the face, eyes and lips, suitable even for sensitive skin.
Step 2. Gentle wash
So much pollution has accumulated that a shortened program is indispensable. Now you need to properly cleanse the skin with a soft and pleasant cleanser (you should not scrub your face with a scrub).

Moisturizing cleansing cream-gel for normal to dry skin, CeraVe with regenerating components (ceramides plus hyaluronic acid) – what you need for poorly rested skin.
But just washing your face after sleeping with makeup is not enough.
Step 3. Tonic
Tonic never hurts. It will revitalize the skin after washing with tap water and restore its pH, so that subsequent care is more effective and pleasant. Its task is to tone and refresh.

Step 4. Purifying mask
On this beautiful day, it makes sense to make such a mask so that the course of skin restoration is as complete as possible.
After cleansing and toning, the skin is treated with a cleansing mask. It is necessary to free the pores into which makeup has been “rubbed” all night.
Mask “Magic of Clay. Detox and Radiance, L’Oréal Pariswith charcoal and three types of clay perfectly draws out impurities from the pores, does not overdry the skin, leaves it smooth and radiant.
Mineral Pore Purifying Clay Mask, Vichy Suitable for combination and oily skin. Contains two types of clay and soothing components: allantoin, aloe, thermal water – which do not allow the epidermis to dry out.
It’s a great idea to try multi-masking and combine deep skin cleansing with care that is perfectly matched to different areas of the face.

Step 5. Moisturizing mask
After a clay mask, it also makes sense to use a tonic to remove possible residues. And then make another mask – moisturizing. In principle, moisturizing with a cream after a cleansing mask is a must. But after sleeping with makeup on your face, it is better to give preference to the mask. Gel or fabric ones are especially convenient.
Sheet mask “Moisturizing + Aquabomba” with pomegranate extract, Garnier restores moisture levels in the skin thanks to hyaluronic acid.

Serum for the care of the skin around the eyes and the transformation of eyelashes LiftActiv, Vichy – ceramides, rhamnose and hyaluronic acid help restore and improve the condition of eyelashes and the vulnerable area around the eyes.
Step 7 Antioxidant Care
After you have taken care of yourself and carried out the necessary recovery measures, you need to realize that sleeping with makeup on your face is a vicious practice that causes too much damage to the skin, which is already forced to withstand bad ecology, dry air, eating disorders and sleep. To maintain the protective forces of the epidermis, apply an antioxidant serum or cream to the face. And please, never go to bed wearing makeup again!
