Skincare can be a trial and error for many of us.

If you’ve experienced skin inflammation, dozing off with makeup could be the culprit.

Gross added that clogged pores and oil glands could cause inflammation.

Previously,we spoke with Dr. Liia Ramachandra about what to do if we accidentally sleep with makeup.

These free radicals break down the collagen on your skin, which then can lead to fine lines.”

Then there’s pollution.

However, one night of laziness might pop up as an annoying pimple.

That’s why cleaning and moisturizing your skin after wearing makeup is essential.

Dr. Ramachandra told The List, “Wearing makeup to sleep can clog your pores.

This will make them appear bigger, and will also draw bacteria into your skin.

This may cause acne to form.”

We can wave goodbye to clear skin with this bad skincare habit.

And it’s not just the skin that suffers when we get a bit lazy.

“Also, not removing eye makeup is very bad for you.

Mascara can clog the follicles in your eyes and cause bacteria to get in your eyes.

Extra zits and no lashes, no thank you.

Sensitive skin folks might need to be extra diligent.

According to Dr. Chui, you’re more likely to develop a rash if your skin is sensitive.

At least, use a makeup wipe before bed.
