Preventing stains on your pillowcase isn't the only reason to take your cosmetics off before you go to sleep.
Fact--Sleeping with unevenly cleaned face with leftover cosmetics on can clog pores, cause zits and irritate the skin. When makeup stays on too long, it also blocks "the natural exfoliation process of shedding skin," which can leave your skin looking dull.
It's recommended that women should take a few minutes each evening to cleanse their skin, especially if they're acne-prone. It's not just makeup that you want to wash off. Skin is also exposed during the day to pollution and oils. Cleansing the face helps prevent the back-up of sebum--the oily stuff that the pore produces.
Especially washing off eye makeup. Mascara makes eyelashes firm and inflexible. So if you rub your eyes when you sleep, you'll break or pull them easily. Many sparkly eye shadows contain "little crystals and pieces of sand," which can irritate the eye. And shadow dries out the skin on your lid if you leave it on overnight.

Current makeup removal products - almost finishing..
(1) Biotherm eye make up removal gel for Sensitive eyes (abt $45) -
Been using this for few years especially useful & caring for eyes for days with no mascara (I seldom wear much mascara on usual work days, so prefer to have a gentle cleanser to stress less the delicate eyes.)(2) Softymo Super Point Make up Remover by Kose (abt $20?) -
Got this from Japan but guess it should be available in SG too. I find it abit light nowadays to thoroughly clean away all make up. But it is quite gentle on face.NEW EXPERIENCE WITH -
BIORE AQUA JELLY MAKE UP REMOVAL
Co-incidentally was doing marketing in NTUC and chanced about this + my own products are finishing up. I love jelly product as it feels gentle enough on face yet jelly has better consistency.
It is quite a big bottle to me..
Indeed it pumped out as liquid jelly similar to the picture shown on the container box.
Pardon the disgusting face. It is just to illustrate the before and after of a day to day cleaning.
My usual make up routine is BB cream, pressed powder, corrector, concealer, eyeliner and at times mascara + eye pencil.
All I need for my face for this case (worn light mascara here too) is about 2 pumps of the Biore Jelly and apply all over the dry face and use hand to massage and rub away. Similar to how you do for fancl, Shu Uemura oil cleanser.
Cleansing cotton is only needed when you finally clean the mess off your face.
Like it shown, I am quite impressed with the removal results. My stubborn waterproof liquid eyeliner which I usually drawn along and inner of the lash line, glides away fast.
The texture is somewhere in btw cleansing oil & my thicker liquid removal thus it could clean up make up in a breeze leaving skin looking kinda dewy. I can do it for both eyes and face just in a bottle.
In real, it is not really greasy and not sticky! And quite gentle enough when you massage throughout your face. I like this consistency!
Of course, I have to explore with thicker make up & heavily mascara'ed' lashes.
Oh ya, after all good, I must admit that I was rather surprised by the price tag S$25, I just took and go and it was not tagged, I was expecting something below S$20....err for Biore you know. If things don't go great for some, then the bottle size & the price is not that friendly for trial.
BUT ... I did some search and realised if you get the July Cleo, you could hands on free sample...
IF NOT... you could get your free sample from KAO - here too!
