Real talk: skipping your nightly routine—like leaving makeup on, using old mascara, or not washing your face—can have some gross consequences.
Meet Demodex folliculorum, microscopic mites living in your pores, especially around your nose, cheeks, and lashes. They feed on your skin’s oils, lay up to 25 eggs per follicle, and—brace yourself—when they die, they release waste that can irritate skin or worsen conditions like rosacea.
Then there’s mascara. After 3 months, bacteria turns that tube into an eye infection waiting to happen. Pink eye isn’t worth saving a few bucks!
Your best defense? Wash your face morning and night, always remove makeup (double cleansing works wonders), toss mascara every 90 days, change pillowcases often, and keep your hands off your face.
Healthy skin isn’t just vanity—it’s hygiene. Treat your face with care, and it’ll thank you!
