I know that many brands claim to be ‘so pure you can sleep in it’, but the bottom line is, no matter what type of makeup you use, please don’t go to sleep without washing your face, especially when using any brand of mineral makeup. Between two and four in the morning, your skin absorbs anything left on it and prepares and restores itself for the next day, so anything left on your skin is taken into the pores and stored, this is why it’s good to sleep with products made to be left on.
But under no circumstances is it okay to make a habit out of sleep with makeup on. This will only lead to clogged pores and aged skin. When mineral makeup, though normally healthier for the skin because it’s natural, is added to the formula, the results can be disastrous. You wouldn’t sleep with dirt rubbed on your face, why sleep with mineral makeup?
I know with all the misleading adds you can gain a false sense of security when it comes to sleeping with makeup on, but come on ladies, we have been taught from our mothers from the time we started wearing makeup that it has to be washed off.
Bottom line- DO’NT sleep on it.
