I rarely take my make up off

[Letsrunabath]

Just that, I wear makeup most days but hardly ever cleanse it off, I do moisturise before reapplying in the morning.
Im told I’ve great skin with few wrinkles for my mid 50s,
any one else willing to admit to a slovenly life.

I think the less you do the better your skin is because it's not being disturbed and then 'repaired'. My skin was fabulous after a week i__n bed with flu!
I do like feeling clean though, so I cleanse gently with something.

@antipodeancanary because men snd children dont have hormones thst flucuate throughout a monthly cycle causing spots, oiliness, dryness, dullness etc. They stay level whilst we are on an endless rollercoaster.

I’ve read some messed up stuff on here but this takes the biscuit!

I couldn’t bare to not take my make up off. I wouldn’t be able to sleep.

I love taking my make up off at the end of the day.

On the few occasions where I’ve got drunk and stayed out my face feels awful and my skin takes a couple of days to recover.

Wait so let me get this straight

You seriously expect us to believe you never ever wash your face?

See attached, how the op thinks she looks versus how she actually looks 😂

Oh my God, this made me howl

What makeup do you actually wear?

I never used to. Right up until I was 40, lovely clear glowy skin despite my slovenly ways, and then my skin went to shit almost overnight!
I now double cleanse and use all manner of serums to keep it looking good!

I don't judge people who forget to take their make up off sometimes, or have health issues that prevent them taking care of themselves. But to make an active choice to be grubby and not wash? I can't help but judge. I'm hearing echos of my mother telling my brothers that even teenage boys need to wash their faces...

I judge people who wear so much makeup that it's still there to be rubbed all over a pillow 15 hours later 🤷‍♀️

At least remove your mascara, there's quite a few reports of people nearly going blind after mascara build up got under their eyelids and nearly went blind. I'd link the articles but they're pretty gross.

i think we need a photo....

@Lordofthebutterfloofs 😂

😲 you go out in yesterday's make up!!!

To be fair, those who don't overly bother with cleansing/makeup removal who also say they have good skin; surely that's because you just do have good skin that isn't blemish prone or reactive so you'd probably be fine either way or whatever you put on it.

If I don't properly remove makeup or even leave it on too long or wear it heavily then I get spots regardless of what I use and my skin looks rubbish.

Each to their own, It doesn't affect my life what another person does with their face. If i could get away with not doing it maybe I'd skip it very occasionally if I were exhausted but otherwise would still clean my face, it feels nice and I like going to bed clean because that also feels good to me.

How much are you wearing?! I can’t feel mine at all on my face

Same!

Like a PP, I'm loving this two fingers up to the beauty industry that has really hammered home the message that all our faces will shrivel and fall off if not carefully tended. Go your own slatternly way, OP!

i think we need a photo....

I agree!

So this is where the cruddy brigade seek refuge from the 'I was my towels after every use' army. Interesting.

Well I actively enjoy cleaning my face at the end of the day. Love putting some lotions on. I'd feel like a grubby crudster going to bed without taking my slap off.

It’s one thing to ‘stick two fingers up at the beauty industry’. Great.

It’s another to sleep on manky pillowcases (because they are), and apply make-up on top of endless moisturise and make-up. Really - yes, that beloved word on here - grim.

If you care enough about your appearance to wear make-up in the first place - and even take pride in having great skin - why, oh why would you think applying make-up on top of moisturiser and old make-up possibly looks good……………………………?

I love the feeling of cleaning my skin.

Massaging on a cleanser and then holding a wrung out hot flannel - lovely! I’d do it even if wasn’t beneficial to my skin.

Leaving my make up on overnight would make my skin look like shit - more power to you if it doesn’t yours.

Nope, I'm full on skin routine
I went out and got drunk absolutely hammered and still did my routine when I got in. That was after 2 bottles of wine and 6 tequilas
The second thing I asked for after a 5hr op was my skincare bag (first was a cup of tea)

I don't wear it anymore but when I did I didn't always wash it off and it always applied better the second day

I’m the same as Rebel2023.

Even in the event of a nuclear war, I’ll be removing, cleansing & moisturising, I’m afraid.

I never take mine off either in the evening. I do wash my face every morning though.

I have good skin. If I actually do the whole make up off cleanse etc I find my skin gets too dry.

If I ever wear make up my joy is taking it off with a cleaning balm, so satisfying!

But look each to their own 🤷‍♀️

I don't wash my hair every day, some people would find that gross.
