We have all made this mistake more than once. It’s normal as we are often exhausted when we get home after a long day and the last thing we want to do is cleanse our face. But we might not be aware on the impact this has on our skin. Experts say that for each night you don’t take your makeup off you age one full day!

Our beauty experts share three pieces of advice to help you always make the effort to take your makeup off:

1. Foundation is a layer you apply on your face that catches bacteria from the environment. If you don’t take this layer off and cleanse your face thoroughly these bacteria will keep acting on your skin, affecting collagen production and enabling the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
2. When you apply a layer of foundation to cover your imperfections, you are also clogging your pores that will, in the long run, enable problems like acne.
3. It is true that while we sleep with makeup on our eyelids and with mascara on our lashes they won’t cause wrinkles or acne. But they will surely irritate your eyes, weaken your lashes and make them fall out more frequently.
