wearing makeup will not cause premature aging nor will it cause your skin to stop producing oil. If your skin stops producing oil it's because of something hormonal or just from naturally aging. If your skin is dry in the first place, makeup with oil in it is going to be great for you because it'll keep your skin nice and hydrated and it will actually prevent some wrinkling because dry skin tends to wrinkle faster than oily skin.
ReplyDeleteAlways remove cosmetics at the end of the day. Don't sleep with cosmetics on your face. They can smear your pillow and may lead to irritation of skin, as well as become more resistant to removal the following day. Gently wipe away all vestiges of cream, powder, liner and rouge to leave your face clean and fresh.
