it's ok james, don't worry!

I actually found it very interesting, I zoomed in on it 😁

No issue

All good. I only threw up once. 🤢 Not washing face is something I don't understand.

time stamp for the gross eye pics for anyone wanting to skip!! 2:59 - 3:28 also at 4:27 - 4:34 dw ab the warning james!! we all forget stuff sometimes!! i've got you 🤣💖

Awww that’s so cute! I love hearing stories like this

That's cute, but creepy

That's actually very sweet?

That was a very kind gesture. She's a keeper.

If she was neglecting removing her mascara for 25 years, she probably ignored symtoms for quite some while too… yikes

ya something is wrong with this story, or something is missing from this story, because it should have been a week or two...

@@amaliasafaryan4256 honestly it happens my coworker never removes her mascara or eyeliner, her husband has never seen her without makeup so she sleeps with it on, also doesn't remove her lipstick neither...... After working with her for a year I only saw her twice without makeup

@@amaliasafaryan4256 I wouldnt be suprised actually. I knew a girl from high school who did this. She was fine. Because of this video I really want to know if she still is lol.

I don't believe that she didn't have symptoms until that. I had situations where I forgot or was too tired to remove my make up properly and regretted it the next morning.

Congratulations!

Sure he did. Y’all so fuckin goofy. Lol

I love this for you!!! 😍

AHHHHHHHHH

@@solarmoth4628 i have to agree. i almost lost my eye one time when i hit my face on the corner of a table and missed my eye by less than an inch and i dont want to almost lose it again by accidentally stabbing my eye

Or eyeballs

She obviously must have unintentionally cleaned her lashes by showering or washing her face which saved the hair follicles

@@Kiterpuss yes and no, it does and will clog the hair follicle which can result in possible permanent damage to the follicle itself. An ophthalmologist can only do so much to reverse what damage has been done (they're not just focusing on the patient's eyelashes, but more or so focusing on the issue of what was going on aka the problem which caused the patient's eyelid to become inflamed which they found and surgically removed what they could and then addressed the abrasions on the eye which was caused by the inbedded mascara in the eyelid. This was causing on the patient's eye to become inflamed and caused the scratches (abrasions) on the eye itself which is very serious and extremely painful, and caused an infection (aka this can lead to vision loss).

@@alexandraw887 I think you replied to the wrong comment friend.

@@Kiterpuss no, i was responding to your comment (the part where you had said she must have unintentionally cleaned her lashes by showering or washing her face etc). I agree, but disagree at the same time. I think it was a great comment because a lot of people think just because you wash your face and try to avoid the eye area (due to possible advanced aging since this skin is way more delicate than the rest of your face) it will remove the makeup. I'm assuming she either didn't wash her entire face as often as she should or tried to avoid her eye area when washing her face. We weren't given that much information/details on that specifically.

Wtf!

Are they still together?

That’s so heart breaking I really need to know if she left his nasty ass, I really hope she did!!L

Btw., this used to be very normal from the 1950s onward. Men who'd NEVER seen their wives out of makeup ... and, thererfore, children, who'd never seen their mother's natural face!

oh nahhhhh wthh

Fr

Nooo, I get soooo greasy I would have to take it off the next morning regardless. How can people stand the feeling of clogged pores and infected acne from not taking care of their skin? I might wear my make up to bed on the occasion, especially if I'm drunk or tipsy, but like you, l absolutely have to wash my face in the morning. I can't stand to feel greasy and dirty. 😣

Ikr... I assumed the makeup redoing, would be done on a clean face.... So gross!

I don't understand how...the makeup usually gets ruined and the mascara/lashes begins to clump so theres no way to even apply anything on top of that without looking like a horrible mess or pennywise the clown

People don't just the nuts who are too lazy and dirty to wash their face !!!! Yuck 🤢😝

I had a friend like this in high school; it was like she was _afraid_ to let ppl, even other girls (she was het, btw) see her bare-faced. I know this, because even on camp, she just went straight to bed without cleansing, & then legit the very first thing she did in the morning after sitting up was reach for her compact to touch up - & I mean the _first_ , as in before she'd even gotten out of bed. I was shook. It just logically seems like a vicious circle, to me; the less care you take of your skin, the more makeup you'll need to look good, but the more makeup you wear, the more care your skin will need to stay in good condition. So just wearing makeup constantly is a dragon swallowing its tail.

That’s not exactly true. I had terrible acne for most of my life and only accutane was able to help me. No other drug or cosmetic made a difference. Make up was giving me a illusion of what normal life can look like and it regulated my oil production so I broke out less

@@MissimoCat oh, well, fair enough, then! :-) I hope those days are over for you, now? It would still be true for _most_ ppl, tho - & I can tell you my friend in particular did not have cystic acne.

@@mysterylovescompany2657 y

Nasty.

Right? It just feels like there's literal weights on my face and it's ITCHY and it needs to GO.

Imagine the bacteria on their pillow and sheets. Ugh.

It literally feels like dirt by nighttime.

Summertime is even worse bc my face gets so oily and greasy by the end of the day. My skin is super dry at night and itchy as well. Winter it’s very patchy and flaky but I never fail to at LEAST take my makeup off.

Imagine how Hellish she looks in the morning!

Girl I feel you, I'm lazy and I'm a waitress so like there's no point to put it on unless it's for special occasions or I'm feeling myself since I just sweat it off. I hardly get horrible acne thank goodness, I just can't sleep with make up on, it makes me feel dirty and I don't wanna sleep on my bedding after that cause it'll just transfer back to my face.

Exactly! I’m all for a no hassle approach. I love the things you can do with makeup but half the time I can’t be bothered and it’s probs just going to melt off my face in due time anyways

@@bexrayspex yep! Like why waste a good look at work when it's just gonna melt down my face and I'm going to scare the children 🙃 lol. Like as a waitress I know my tips can rely on how I look but like my customers seem to care about my personality more. Also I'm already going home covered in sauces and resturant grease, like a sweaty full face is not gonna make you feel any better when you're covered in gravy, beer, coleslaw, or some other kind of sauce.

Same! I’m so glad I don’t wear it anymore!

I really wish I could do the same. I'm older and have been wearing makeup for decades and I actually don't feel secure enough to go out without makeup. I was never a natural beauty but makeup always helps. I just wish I didn't start wearing it so early that its kinda a crutch. It also didn't help that when I was a teenager and came down for breakfast before putting my makeup on and my dad would always ask me if I didn't feel well. Stuck with me all these years!

I enjoy seeing the destruction of people who refuse to be saved

Ouch

Wait wait so what was she doing? Prolonged use of false lashes/extensions/etc can cause eyelids to tear?

Was your teacher Charlotte Tilbury?

@@celestedivinity2178 A+ comment 😂

It's scary how common that was in the older generations. Like, the 1950's they advertised that women should wake before their husbands to get ready for him, and wait until he was asleep to take it all of. Horrible

Once as a teen I was told a similar thing by an *aesthetician* of all people. I think in her case she just claimed to always rise before her husband so he never saw her bare faced but... I just kinda felt sad for her. I also took her less seriously when she criticised my skin care, heh..

I'm sorry, but it seems like your friend might be psychotic. That's just not normal

Ohhhh yeahhhh I've also once in a while accidentally fallen asleep before taking it off and of course regretted every moment of crustiness lol but omg seriously that is really bad to do to ur eyes and people don't realize it enough... If she wears contacts or anything she's even more at risk for scratching her eyes 😔

I don't understand how they sleep with their makeup on ! I mean it's gonna be so messy the next morning . Whenever i forget to take my makeup off before bed i look horrific the next morning! I really don't get it

Kim k does this lol 😂 she does her makeup at night And sleeps like a mummy

I had a friend like that as well🫣

Right? Like did she never shower or go swimming or go out in the pouring rain? I have so many questions! Even if she's using waterproof mascara there's no mascara that is THAT waterproof. She must have been putting on several coats a day like an obsession. I mean I do that with lip balm and gloss but that's another story. lol

@@tjo1976 I mean nobody carbon dated the mascara that it’s 25 years old, I'm sure it’s been “accidentally” washed off occasionally. It will still get gross if you just apply waterproof mascara every morning and shower every day, even it part of it flakes off.

its not even about washing your face but simply getting into the shower removes my eye makeup right off

Seriously where is this waterproof mascara thar can stay on through all that life throws ar you? I often find that funerals are a good test for makeups staying power, and I'm still looking. Although Mac had a waterproof liquid liner that got me through an intoxicated week in New Orleans, it's hard to do touch-ups in that state, and it would just start pouring rain every afternoon. I don't use anything but eye makeup, so at least I have no worries with that.

@@TheLegend-ky2ut I have dry and sensitive skin, and use Blue Lizard brand sunscreen.

Vichy Capital Soleil uv age daily water fluid. Super light. I hate greasy products, this one goes on like a comfortable face cream . It comes tinted as well. You can just wear it alone but also under make-up.

My boyfriend tells me that one time I slipped over when I sprayed my oil cleanser onto the floor while getting out of the pump. Apparently, I just stayed down with my legs splayed underneath me whilst perfectly massaging it into my face lol

My mom does this too. Drives me mad.

how'd it go?

“Trumps face”💀

Has she started to use any of the skincare you bought?

My mom used to always tell me I Wes obsessive and compulsive with taking care of my skin etc. She had pretty bad discipline when it came to her skin. Now her skin looks older than my grandma who was 84 and my mom is 66. I still religiously take care of my skin. And at 30 I see a lot of my friends and their skin looks very aged compared to mine. I do understand though I have my dads Mediterranean Latin genes (southern Italian diaspora) and I have Mediterranean olive skin so I know that makes a difference as well but I still take care of my skin because that makes a huge difference

Oh my gosh my friend i relate to your story so much !! I am paraplegic and bedridden a lot but when I can get up I love to do my makeup it makes me feel so good. It's like an art form. I have improved my eyeshadow skills so much since I was hurt. Often times I get so dead dog tired I can't make it to the sink but I make sure to take it off with micclear water in bed. I always have James voice in the back of my head telling this story and saying you must be meticulous 😂

I am in the same boat as you! Makeup and even more so…perfume are often the only things I can do to bring pleasure into my world. Perfume is my obsession.

Yes... I know I feel better after cleansing my face in the evening. Wishing you better 💛

You still wear makeup? I gave up wearing makeup years ago (my skin actually improved) but with having severe depression, I go quite a while without even showering.

I have depression too and after a full day of struggling through peopling and working during an episode, sometimes I’m too exhausted and too apathetic to do a full skin care routine or shower. I had a bad episode at the end of 2020 and ended up with a scalp issue from not washing my hair. Now I make a point to shower at least once a day and wash my face in the shower. It’s not a full skincare routine but it’s something and the shower at least helps me feel more comfortable.

I have severe, chronic depression, and, for the past 2 years, it was SO much worse thzn usual, but I finally found a medication that actually works. I have still, not quite, however, been able to get back into the routine of makeup removal (IF, that is, I wear it - which I have, actually, begun to do again, sonce the depression is lessening so much...the cleansing routine, though, not so much, yet..). The showering, however, is something with which I am still struggling, which is something that anyone who has ever known me - even during my depression episodes, which I have had most of my life - would be shocked to discover, because this is something that has only really become a part of my depression (well, to the extent that it is now, at least) recently. What a shock, right?! That my depression has become so much more debilitating since I've come closer to, and have now reached, the age of 50! Who would have guessed?!? 🤯 Just Kidding! 😆🤦‍♀️😄 Anyway, as I've been too humiliated and embarrassed by this, I've always wondered if I was the only one, and have just been feeling like I'm - on top of my depression - a disgusting, filthy, nasty person. I am, literally, thankful to the point that I am in tears! Thank you, all of you, for helping me to see that I'm not the only one! I love and appreciate all of you and wish you all the most love and happiness that is humanly possible for you to have! Please, loves, do not lose hope!!🙏🙏🌷🌷🌷💖

What does it mean, having it brunch the next day!

@@semerahpadi4484 brunch is like a meal that an English man made up for between breakfast and lunch, and just combined the two words to ‘brunch’. So she was getting her makeup done for the next day meal. (I’m assuming you’re still learning English or didn’t understand)

That’s such an awkward convo.. my face would have been so confused lol

@@goodgriefff brunch was actually created by an English author named Guy Beringer in 1895.

@@NerdyMaiden thanks for letting me know! I’ll edit it

Yes that's why people who constantly get their lashes done end up with worse lashes than before

Thanks so much for the tip! I’ll try doing this more often. ❤️

This is part of the reason why I prefer lip color over eye makeup. Lip color is super easy to remove. I seldom wear makeup anymore, but I'm super thorough when I remove it, especially my eyeliner/mascara. I feel dirty if I don't get all of it off.

Ooh, I hope she sees this. An entire bottle though? How is that possible? I'm sure you're telling the truth but.... Can't imagine.

There no way it wouldn’t go away in the shower if she washes her face

@@Iuxinterior yeah, there’s this formulation that’s called, water proof & it’s known for NOT coming off without an oil based cleanser or micellar water, etc. I know makeup. I was the makeup artist for the NOH8 campaigns soooooo good intentions I’m sure, but she never removed it. 5% might come off in a shower, but that’s it.

@@andromedaspark2241 I had to be REALY careful removing it. At first the remover & pads were just removing a lot of her lashes with the product. So had to use soooo many cotton rounds & let them just soak on her eyes & then use countless Q-Tips with a spoolie & a metal eyelash comb. I prescribe her Latisse now though so she doesn’t use anything🙏🏻, but that now, thankfully. She’s 100% Italian so already has black lashes anyways. If you want lashes Latisse is what I always recommend to patients.

WHAT THE HELLL

There is scar treatment oils out there, I use bio-skin oil and it doesn’t do a bad job.

@@Abcity92 never worked for me :/

i had deep pitted and rosacea scarring from similar habits- what helped me was quitting makeup all together. even just quitting face makeup (concealer, foundation, etc) can make a huge difference. paula's choice also makes an incredible AHA treatment that i've been using for a few months and my skin has never looked better. it's helped with even the worst of the scarring that i thought would need lasers. best of luck, lovely.

The thing is just don't pick at your skin whether you wear makeup or not. Scars are difficult to manage and undo.

Same! When I was 16-19 I often wore a lot of heavy makeup and didn’t remove it when I slept because I was too tired or drunk. I had acne too and now I have lots of scars from it which I regret. Now I always take my makeup off unless I pass out from exhaustion maybe a few times a year. Take care of your skin and make sure to cleanse properly definitely! I thought Oh I’m young it won’t matter haha.. It always matters 😂 I didn’t even do it that often but it was at least a few times a month :(

Oh gosh!! Maybe she meant she hadn’t washed it with soap in months. 🤞🏽Because I stop using soap on my face over 8years ago. I use homemade scrubs/cleaners instead

100% it’s filters, and she’s probably still lying.

Micellar water is a life saver fr

I have adhd too and I bought those super soft microfibre cloths that are meant for removing makeup, they work great with miceller water or even just plain water in a pinch!

Same...I just double cleanse a d moisturizer and go to bed....I can do that drunk

no seriously! it doesn’t matter if it’s once, i will wake up with breakouts EVERYWHERE if i skip my double cleanse

Micellar water is a life savior when drunk!

💯

I don’t wear makeup much at all but I feel the same about SPF. I’ll feel completely dirty if I do not. 😐

You are ahead of the game. I was loving my brow product that lasted for days until I couldn't stand the itching and finally removed it all completely and found missing hair, swollen, red and flakey skin. I am MUCH older than you. Never again.

Makes me wonder what brow products you use, since mine has problems with staying on for just the workday.. maybe it's just because I'm a mechanic and when I have to wash filth or grease of my face, it's hard to stear past the eyebrows.. 😅

@@SammiAnnie814 wipes aren't so bad so long as you're really diligent about continuing to wipe + wipe until the cloth comes away completely clean. It's just that a lot of ppl kind of phone it in while using them.

I agree. Besides the pain and swelling, she had discharge!! and didn't go a doctor right away. Completely baffling.

Some people are just dirty. Anyone dirty enough to smear new mascara on top of old for 25 years likely doesn't find infections worthy of early intervention either.

I’ve been wearing contacts since Highschool (I graduated in 2004) All it takes is one eye infection from contact lenses and you’ll change your tune. Please, please start taking them out at night.

same here

If you ever do want to wear waterproof mascara and need a gentle, easy way to get it off I'd recommend coconut oil

Same! I’ve always worn drugstore washable mascara but a few years ago I tried a high end waterproof one. I tried removing it first with micellar water and then with heavy duty oil cleanser but it just would not come off. By the time I was done I felt like I had ripped out half my eyelashes and my eyes were red and irritated. I have no idea how people use it on the regular.

yeah even with cleansing oils and products specifically to remove waterproof, it never feels completely cleaned away

I got the same face from a nurse after my C-section in February. I said ma'am, I am aware that I was just cut open and I now have a new baby, but my face must be washed!! Unless I can get new skin during my hospital stay, I will be doing this every morning and night.

I also have a spinal condition, which I usually spend at least a week in hospital for in most years, & I can't count the amount of times nurses have either frowned or laughed at me when I insist on being wheeled to the bathroom so I can do my skincare routine in morning & night. It's like, look, I already am in a situation where most of my regular self-care systems are currently not possible - at least let me keep my skin looking good!

Thats dedication

I feel like maybe she splashed her face with water at least?! / HOPING that’s what she diiiiiid?!

I guess she showered and washed her face with water but didn't properly use a make up remover and it caused build up especially if she used waterproof formulas

I did a double take on that I thought he was going to say 25 hours. Years sis??????

Ya, I don't understand like how she didn't just have all her eyelashes stuck together in big clumps, like regardless of the hygiene issue, your mascara looks awful if it isn't removed in between, how?

Yea that’s unbelievable to me. How disgusting. I feel gross as hell if I ever miss a tiny bit of makeup and wake up looking like I have bruised eye or something. 😆 I hope that women learned her lesson…

My exact thoughts as well. Would love more makeup/skincare/beauty type horror stories. lol And ikr!? When he showed us the photo of the embedded mascara, i physically cringed but thought to myself, HOW DID SHE NOT SEE THAT HERSELF! I mean, i cant think of a logical reason one would ever flip their eyelid up to look at the underside, other then to get an eyelash or something out of their eye....👀👀👀. But for 25 flippen years straight!? I just cant believe that someone who was just reapplying makeup layers, every day for 25 years, never once noticed the big, super noticeable, scrape-y, black head looking spots/bumps allll over the inside of her eyelid? Just like you said, HOWWWW did she not know. And put two and two together. Especially since it got worse over time ofc. I also assume she had that in the bottom lid too? (but if not, maybe her tears naturally kept the bottom more clear of debris/mascara bits?) I still have so many questions for her 😅. Im just so curious if/when she did see those yucky lookin spots, what she thought they were? Or why she didnt seek medical attention prior too. Or ya know, stop with her super unhygienic makeup routine 🤔But heres to hoping for more fascinating makeup horror stories and that she had a fast recovery and immediately stopped wearing eye makeup! lolol

@@Takapon218 i agree! It would be useless to have a skincare routine without sunscreen.. 😌💞

Sunscreen should be FIRST- before anything else!!! An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of a cure! A good sunblock will help your skin stay even, honestly. If I can help, let me know.

That must be so painful !! On few occasions, i got bits of dust in my eyes and it hurted so much for hours, i can't imagine being showered with that much dust in your eyes

ooohhh I love this balm so much! very satisfying!

Take The Day Off is amaaaazing, but so exxy. I settle for using coconut or baby oil on my cotton pads instead, & they do the same thing, tho it doesn't feel as luxe. ;-)

@@mysterylovescompany2657 oh cool! I’ll remember that if I’m ever in a bind!

I’m the same. I know it’s bad to use waterproof every day but I have such sad lashes that only waterproof holds them up and curled. I make sure to remove it the best I can and do a double cleanse with a balm and then a gentle foaming cleanser. But there’s always still a tiny bit left.

Same. This was eye opening

Have a look at Alex Anele's video of how she takes off her waterproof mascara - basically massaging cleansing balm for about a minute, it does mostly remove it. I then just use a bit of micellar water for waterproof makeup to remove the very last bits. :)

@@amandac1061 Whenever I wear mascara it has to be waterproof - I live in the UK where it can randomly go from boiling hot to pouring down in a matter of minutes! I never really thought about whether I was removing it effectively but this has been eye opening

I dont like waterproof makeup for the reason that you can't really remove it with water. I had to quit using it in high school, so I just use regular mascara instead, but I did hear oil cleanser is good for that.

Almost the same for me! I started using Makeup at around the age of 13 because I developed acne and wanted to cover it up with Makeup. But that started a vicious cycle as I know now because back then I did not know how to take care of my skin properly just covered it up with loads of havy Makeup. I did this in my teen years, learned a lot about selfcare and selflove in my twenties and just recently, when 30 came closer I really started to take care of myself in all aspects: I eat healthy, almost no meat, try to drink 3 l a day (only water) and clean and moisturize my skin every morning and evening. I don't need expensive products. Just mild products with no perfume and a lot of hydration and sunscree. And I only use makeup for special occasion. My skin looks a lot better now- it is still not perfect (it will probably never be) but it also FEELS so much better!

I keep a moisturizer and toner next to my bed so when i get home from a night out, i can tone and moisturize my face as a form of damage control

When my former roommate decided to stay at her new boyfriend's apartment for the first time after a party at our place, I screamed, "WAIT," as she stumbled out the door. I demolished the contents of a bathroom drawer to find a single-pack makeup wipe. When I gave it to her, she looked at me like I saved her from an oncoming train. I keep them around just for times like those.

When my former roommate decided to stay at her new boyfriend's apartment for the first time after a party at our place, I screamed, "WAIT," as she stumbled out the door. I demolished the contents of a bathroom drawer to find a single-pack makeup wipe. When I gave it to her, she looked at me like I saved her from an oncoming train. I keep them around just for times like those.

Oh c'mon....you know you would totally do it again. You looked absolutely fabulous the next day you said. 😂

I remember having a house party once years ago, and by the time the night was winding down (you know, wee hours of the morning, lol) I made sure I washed my face and moisturized. My roommate was shocked and said something like "you're drunk and you're washing your whole ass face? Damn, you're dedicated." I just remember thinking I didn't want to wake up with eye crusties and mascara and black eyeliner halfway down my face. Lol We're no longer friends, but I wonder if she ever updated her routine. She rarely took hers off or only used wipes...

What eye makeup remover do you use?

Is deep wrinkles a bad thing?

@@lyricxlmxchi8676 no, but people who highly value their looks tend to not want them because it makes them look older. Wrinkles are normal and you'll get them eventually, even if your religious about skin care, but you should never be ashamed of them if you do get them(medical problems withstanding).

@@lyricxlmxchi8676 they're a natural part of aging, & there's nothing wrong with them in that contest, but most of us prefer to avoid aging _prematurely_ . Sounds like the decisions these ladies made led to a bit of that, & OP's didn't. As someone who currently looks a whole-ass age _bracket_ younger than most of my Year 12 classmates, due at least in part to the different skincare decisions I made (sunscreen every day, y'all; even in Winter), I understand OP's point.

@James Welsh this isn't you is it?

I know you wrote this comment 2 months ago, but can I ask you a question? Would it have been okay for the woman to have hired a makeup artist to apply makeup to her on that day instead of doing it herself? I'm unfamiliar with Orthodox Jewish tradition (or even regular Jewish tradition) and I was just curious. You don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable doing so.

This. 💛

If you know you can get like that by the end of the day, maybe don't wear makeup at all? It'll help reduce the colateral damage lol I don't know much about depression or suffering from mental health, but doesn't cleaning your face and yourself make you at least feel a little better? I would imagine that it could help 🤷🏽‍♀️

I get that, totally. When I was at my worst a few years ago, I at least used makeup wipes to get SOMETHING off. I was too fatigued and depressed to do much else, but the thought of having something heavy like foundation on my skin when I woke up irritated me. Just so uncomfortable, and at least for me, all I want when I'm going through it is to be comfortable.

@@aximaysosa8885 I have moderate rosacea and do a physical job which can make it flare up, so no, I wouldn't go without. Whether or not cleaning your face makes you feel better is besides the point when you physically can't bring yourself to do it. This is very hard to explain to someone who self admittedly doesn't know much about depression or mental health. What you have said is not at all helpful. Better to listen to the experiences of those who do suffer from mental illness than try to give advice like this. (Not trying to be harsh, it just needs to be said :) )

@@witchskee I actually don't find my foundation heavy and I don't even really notice when I'm wearing it lol which certainly does not help in the quest to actually WANT to take it off 😂 and make-up wipes irritate my skin which doubly doesn't help

That’s amazing that you have like a natural alarm to wake you up to take off makeup

@@goodgriefff I think it’s because I’ve had it drilled into me ever since my childhood afterschool program lol

@@ellemarr7234 I think that’s great that you’ve been taught good skincare/hygiene from a young age, and im a bit jealous. I didn’t start actually washing my face until I was like 13 or 14 and didn’t use moisturizer for a while because I thought I was “too oily to use moisturizer”. Just wish someone told me earlier.

istg how did he know today it happened

Hahhahaha same here 😂

@@davidmascarell4575 The one time I decided to take a nap with my makeup on & it ended up turning into an 8hr "nap" 😔

@@Fullsun_12 SAME like i woke up and my face felt super gross i exfoliated my life away

Ha ha ha No one is judging you 😉

I think it's bc in your 20s it's all fun and games when our skin has all the elasticity and youth. No matter what you do, you look great. But the fun and games end when consequences set in later on

Saaame, honestly it's even hard to nap with sunscreen on, the feeling of it on the face when you wake up is just so gross to me.
