The Consequences of Sleeping with Your Makeup On (And the 5-Minute Nighttime Routine That Saves Your Skin)

• The Consequence: Red, itchy, watery eyes and potential for infection or long-term damage to the most delicate skin on your face.

5. Compromised Skin Barrier & Dehydration

The Science: Your skin barrier needs to breathe, regulate itself, and absorb treatment products overnight. Makeup prevents this, leading to impaired barrier function, which causes transepidermal water loss (dehydration), sensitivity, and increased reactivity

• The Consequence: Skin that paradoxically feels both tight and oily, looks crepey, and becomes more sensitive to active ingredients it once tolerated.
