One of the common myths about skin is that not removing makeup before bed will always cause severe damage. While cleansing your skin is important, the reality is that occasionally forgetting to take off makeup may not be as harmful as many believe. However, regular cleansing helps maintain healthy skin and prevents clogged pores over time.
Think about it this way: What's the difference
between wearing the makeup on your skin for the eight hours that you're sleeping as
opposed to the 12 hours that you wear it during the day? There's really not much of
a difference, particularly if you sleep on your back. It is possible to get eye
irritation from your pillow rubbing makeup into your eye but that's very
uncommon."
