Though at times I disagree and even get annoyed at some of your perspectives (respectively of course). This would be one of them. Even if you're not technically prone to breakout sleeping with makeup on your face is a bad idea if you care at all about the well-being of your skin. You sweat and move during sleep and most likely rub against the pillow. The makeup, after a long day of wear, will absorb into skin and potential bacteria will flourish. I'm not sure what reason justifies not washing makeup off at night, but don't kid yourself; you're not saving time by keeping it on. Slowly but surely it'll catch up to you. Just because you don't breakout the next day doesn't mean you aren't harbouring bacteria and inhibiting healthy sebum production under all that makeup. I like your blog.

Leaving acne aside, is it really bad for our skin to sleep with make up on maybe a few nights a week (blushes)?
