Mascara and eyeliner can flake into your eyes while you sleep, causing irritation or infections. It can also weaken eyelashes, making them more prone to breaking or falling out.
5. Dirty Pillowcases
Makeup transfers to pillows and sheets, creating a buildup of bacteria that can repeatedly affect your skin night after night—even if you wash your face the next day.
The Simple Fix
A quick cleanse before bed can make a huge difference. Even using makeup wipes when you’re tired is better than doing nothing. Clean skin means healthier, brighter results in the long run.
Final Thoughts
Sleeping with makeup on may save a few minutes, but the long-term effects on your skin aren’t worth it. Your future self—and your skin—will thank you for taking that extra step before bed.
