[music] Hello, I’m Dr. Neal Schultz
[pause]
and welcome to DermTV.
As I discussed in a previous episode, it’s really not the end of world, and
nothing bad will happen if, on occasion, you sleep with your makeup on.
That’s because the additional contact time that the makeup has on your skin
really isn’t that different from the amount of time that it’s on during the
day. But a viewer pointed out, that if you repeatedly sleep with your
makeup on, there can be some problems. And in particular, you can get
conjunctivitis and, that’s because, when you sleep, your face, of course,
rubs against your pillow. As it rubs, it moves things around, particularly
if you have left your makeup on, and that makeup can then be moved near and
even into your eye. When that happens, you get burning and irritation and
the appearance of redness. It’s called conjunctivitis and it looks just
like pink eye. In addition to that, if you regularly sleep with your makeup
on, you’re going to be rubbing your makeup again against your pillow and
that pillow is going to push it into the pores of your skin. If you push it
into the pores enough, you’re going to cause some clogging and that
clogging may promote acne breakouts. So again, if you sleep with your
makeup on on occasion, it’s not a big deal, but don’t make a regular habit
out of it.
really no reason to let your décolletage let you down.
