Are You Committing This Skin Aging Makeup Mistake?
Have we not all done this before? Late night, exhausted, going to sleep with makeup on... Well, did you know that actually sleeping with your makeup on can cause skin to age prematurely?
"Sleeping with makeup on is not a good idea," Dr. Wee tells us. "First, makeup can trap dirt and environmental pollutants inside the skin, and this type of environmental stress can result in increased free radicals which can cause DNA mutations, collagen degradation, and, over time, can result in premature aging."
"If you don't cleanse your face, dirt and dead skin cells are not removed," explains celebrity dermatologist Dr. Annie Chiu. "They stay on the skin, clogging pores and leading to chronic inflammation in the form of pimples."
Need proof? In 2013, the Daily Mail conducted an experiment in which one woman stopped washing her face for an entire month and simply reapplied her makeup over her unwashed skin each morning. The results: experts said she literally aged herself by 10 years — all because she skipped cleansing for 30 days.
The best way to thoroughly remove makeup before bed:
With all this research in mind, it is super important to take that ten minutes in the evening to perfectly cleanse skin of all debris and makeup from your skin. We have spent years and years on formulating the perfect skin cleansing balms and cleansers to match your skins PH for the ideal evening cleanse.
Our luxurious Pro-Collagen Purify & Soften Cleansing Balm is a divine method of removing makeup in the evening. A tiny dab can be applied all over your face and cleansed using a circular motion. The delicious formula washes away as a milk and leaves skin feeling soft and primed for a facial oil or night cream.

Committing to an evening skincare routine starting with cleansing is the best path to totally healthy, vibrant skin and it truly does make a difference. Plus, having that extra time for yourself to reflect on the day, be in that space of relaxation becomes a very healthy evening ritual before going to sleep.
