In the night the pores of the skin should be allowed to breathe freely. If it is smothered with heavy make-up and greasy creams the body takes time to restore and repair the skin. A skin looks youthful if it is renewed on its own and that is only possible if it is left clean. The cosmetics that are colored does not allow the renewing process and infact if is left on the skin for long hours can damage the skin. Heavy make-up is definitely the most important part in the glamour world of fashion, television and movies. The actors, actresses and models should particularly ensure to be make-up free at night when they retire to bed to remain glamorous for their respective roles in their fields.

I am always leaving my makeup on when I sleep. I did this so much in High School that people would think I was wearing makeup, but it was from the day before lol. Maybe that's why I used to have so many pimples...

I always clean off my make up before bed, but I do moisturise very heavily. Do you think this is the wrong thing to do San because your post seems to suggest that we should be going to bed with clean and clear faces.

My face is usually clean when I go to bed. It definitely won't have any make-up on it, but I do use an overnight nutrient moisturizer that is supposed to help keep my skin soft and youthful.
