Sleeping Beauty
After coming home from a big night out, the last thing you think about is getting out the cotton wool pads to wipe off all that make up. Unfortunately though, as you relax your skin doesn’t and by the next morning, it is screaming out for help.
We all have succumbed to the bad habit of skipping the nightly face wash routine at some point, not realising the damage that this is doing to our skin.
Sleeping with make-up on is a big blunder and causes havoc to your skin. Dryness, spots, and redness are the common symptoms of badly conditioned skin that gives you a dull complexion that clogs pores and can cause eye irritation and premature skin ageing.
Make these products a part of your skincare regime before you hit the pillow to keep your skin looking fresh in the morning:
1. Oil of Olay Daily Facials: These wipes are convenient, quick and hygienic and effective for removing daily bacteria. It cleanses and tones the skin leaving your skin feeling refreshed. For best results, simply wet the cloth and work into a lather and apply to the face and neck and rinse off with warm water.
