Why sleeping with makeup ages your skin

Curiosities
A person who sleeps without having removed their makeup ages the equivalent of three days each time.
Makeup, dirt and grease on the face prevent the skin from «breathing,» resting and regenerating at night, accelerating premature aging.
Most people frequently go to bed without removing makeup or cleaning their face, especially when it is late or they arrive tired.
Even if the face looks clean, it must be washed and makeup removed, points out cosmetologist Carmen Palenque.
The habit of cleaning the face at night should be more important for people with oily skin or problems with acne or pimples, because dirt can infect pores and worsen skin problems.
The cosmetologist recommends applying each of the creams and lotions waiting a few minutes between one product and another so that the substances penetrate the skin. It is very common to mistakenly apply one product after another without waiting for them to cross the dermal layer.
The Difference Between Washing and Cleansing the Face
Cleaning the face more than twice a day is not recommended unless the skin is very oily. If it is cleaned more than twice a day, the skin dries out, even more so with cleansing products; if the skin is oily, the glands are stimulated, that is, the skin becomes oilier.
Exfoliation should also be done at night, and in the morning the face should be cleaned again because tissue regenerates and dead cells accumulate.
Creams
Applying a cream without first cleansing (not washing) the skin does not take advantage of the benefits of the product, which will mix with the dirt and greasiness on the face.
Palenque explains that there is a difference between cleansing and washing. The skin is cleansed with a product that nourishes and hydrates and contains no alcohol; before, it is washed with a neutral soap to remove impurities.
This routine should be repeated in the morning, before applying makeup or any cream.
Soap
Normal soap dries and irritates the skin. There are facial cleansers and neutral soaps specially designed for each skin type that care for and protect while cleansing.
