Be Honest: Do You Always Wash Your Make Up Off At Night?

[LOVE]

i ALWAYS do. if i dont my skin will breakout.

and i read in a magazine, and have heard from my friends mom whos a dermatologist, that every night you fall asleep with makeup on you add 7 days of aging to your skin!

 

[NikkiHorror]

Oh, yes yes yes. I do now. When I was younger, I would tell my mom I washed my face but I would totally skimp. I had the most horrible acne for years!

One week, she stood in the bathroom with my brother and I to make sure we were actually washing our faces...and voila! My skin started to clear up!!!!

You don't know how happy I was!

Now my skin is getting more gorgeous every year! I don't put on my makeup in the morning until I absolutely have to, and I take it off right when I come home at night. And call me a germ freak, but I always wash or rinse my hands in between every product i apply, or whenever I have to touch my face. The oil, dirt, grime and sweat from hands just grosses me out. It's blind fear!

Morning: Checks and Balances cleanser from Origins, Oil Refiner Toner from Origins, and Matte Scientist Moisturizer from Origins, and Smashbox Photofinish to seal in all the good stuff and keep the bad stuff out.

Night: POND's wipes, Get Down scrub/cleanser from Origins, Cleansing and Toning Water for Face and Eyes by YSL, and Contour Experte Serum and Cream by YSL. I wake up with the most raidiant and porcealin skin

Now I don't even get acne around that time of the month!

damn nikkihorror, you got some serious skincare!

 

[NikkiHorror]

LOL, You know it! I'm OCD about my skin now because I know how bad it was before and what it could be as I get older. I got all my bases covered and I'm not taking any chances!!!! LOL

I always try but about 90% of the time I go through with it.

If I don't do the whole "face routine" I try and wipe my face with baby wipes & wipe my eye makeup off with cold cream. *sigh*

 

[mzcelaneous]

Honestly? No. Only probably about 75% of the time *yikes*.

By the time I get home, get dinner ready, and put the kid to bed I'm usually pooped. I at least take off my mascara though. That junk is not cool. Thank goodness I rarely get pimples/blemishes.

i used to wear heavy black eye makeup and not wash it off cus im just a lazy butt. so when i wake up in the morning my pillow is all disgusting and my sister yells at me for it. but every night now i wash it cus it just doesnt feel right when my face is all icky and stuff. but i only do it once at night so my face doesnt dry out like a prune.

 

[thestarsfall]

I usually try to do the whole routine at night (but I always get the little bit of waterproof mascara that doesnt come off and leaves black lines on my eyes the next morning

) But I don't wash my face in the morning (unless I shower in the morning...but I usually shower midday after my workout)
I cant put makeup on right after a shower/wash face anyways...My skin goes dry right after washing (even with moisturizer) so I have to wait like...half an hour for it to balance itself out again and then I can put makeup on...

At night I use eyemakeup remover, and then I wash my face, and then I use astringent, and then moisturizer.

My biggest skincare boost was finding a decent moisturizer (Loreal Happyderm) I always thought I didnt need one, cuz my skin gets oily pretty quickly (its dry when I wash it, and then after about an hour its kinda slick...haha

 

[Bernadette]

I'm pretty sure I haven't washed my face before going to bed only TWICE since I was 12. Makeup or not, I'm downright obsessive. I've had people call me the skin-care nazi. Hahah.
It doesnt' matter if I've been at the bar all night, I wash my face no matter what!

 

[Beauty Mark]

99% of the time. THe 1% is when I get back too late and just crash

What brand please?

 

[Lollie]

I always take off my make-up before I go to bed. I just HATE waking up with a cardboard face!

 

[litlaur]

I always cleanse, with a wipe if I'm just too tired, and moisturize. Besides, I'm going to be at the sink anyway to remove my contacts and brush my teeth.

 

[Fairybelle]

I was my face religously... I used to have horrible acne, and I get nightmares about it coming back. I guess it will be a lifetime paranoia that will keep me from ever forgetting to take off any makeup!

 

[m4dswine]

99% of the time i do, and i am so much better than i used to be. I will have the odd night here and there when I forget or am too tired, but because I wear really dark eyeshadow and I don't want it all over the bed I usually get it off. If I think I'll be too tired later in the night I'll take it off after I've had something to eat early evening.

 

[spectrolite]

I"m a bit of a nazi when it comes to my skin care regime. If I didn't remove my makeup I wouldn't be able to get to sleep! Washing up is the first thing I do when I wake up and the first thing I do when I return from work. I take off my eye makeup with L'oreal cleansing wipes, then hop into the shower where I remove the rest of my makeup with a cleanser. Lately I've been trying out LUSH Coal Face soap which is fab

 

[sharyn]

I couldn't go to sleep with make up on, either. considering that I've been outside with it and there's all kinds of nasty things in the air... I just cant. I know its more of a mental thing cause the nasty things are in the air in my room as well, but I just feel better if I do cleanse. I have 4 different cleasers, which I use depending of the "mood" my skin is in. After cleansing, I use a alcohol free toner, Lush's Imperialis sometimes, another moisturizing lotion all over my face, something special for my eyes and I apply a lip treatment every night. No matter how tired I am, I always stick to that routine. I'm just too afraid I might wake up looking uuuugh.

 

[als1626]

I've done it a few times, but not very often lately. Usually only happens when I get home realllly late at night, and I just don't do that much anymore. Although I must admit to skipping the whole moisturizer regime thing and just washing my face when I'm really tired!

 

[Moppit]

I wash my face at night always, always, always. If I was bleeding in the middle of the road I would use the last breath in me to ask someone to wash my face, lol.

My face would never forgive me and the payback would be lots and lots of pimples.

You're absolutely right Sharyn: pollutants love to stick to skin, especially oily skin. And if you leave your makeup on at night, as you toss and turn you end up grinding those pollutants and your makeup deeper and deeper into your pores! Ick, dude!
Be kind to your skin, girls and start a day and night regimine that works for you. Stick to it, and your skin with thank you in years to come.
