With droopy eyes, staggering footsteps and a clouded mind the first thing that comes to mind when one enters home post midnight, drop dead tired, is to hit the sack (Of course kicking off those high heels precedes this thought!). But, before you can call it a day you have to take care of a few essentials. As much as you hate removing makeup before going to bed is the TOP PRIORITY. Sleeping with makeup on is not only unhygienic but also disastrous for the health of your skin.
What also needs attention is that you remove all the makeup from the face. Even makeup traces can wreck havoc to your skin especially if it is sensitive. Besides, even normal skin can become acne prone and pimple ridden as the makeup tends to clogs pores and make it vulnerable. Hence, it is important to use makeup removers.
