What is the purpose of make up if it only contains bad mixture ingredients on it? I asked this because when I was a teenager, I was curious about make up. I put it once on my face and when I went home, my mom told me to wash my make up on my face before I go to sleep. If I sleep with my make up on my face, there will be a bad effect on my skin because the make up contains mixture of ingredients that are not healthy on our skin. From now on, I didn't put make up on my face thinking that it's only temporary even if it urges me to try once more, but I can't help thinking of why we have to put make up on our face that contains harmful ingredients to our skin if it didn't have any purpose on it?

Make up can be very harmful, specially if you have a delicate skin. But there is something that you must never do and it is to leave make up during the night. Sometimes washing is not enough. If you can, you must go to a dermathologist to ask for a soap that suits you. It depends of course if you have skin problems or not.

Many ladies are willing to put on makeup despite its harmful effects for the sake of beauty. I've seen many TV shows of highly skilled women that shows their face before and after putting on cosmetics. Based on this, I could say that makeup really does wonders. It gives life to a face and helps brighten up a pale skin. Their skin is unhealthy to start with. Personally, I would prefer working on the skin's health rather than resort to makeup to cover up my flaws. Well, those ladies I've seen in TV are extreme examples. Others however are gentle with makeup. They put makeup just to accentuate their best features.
It's nice that you don't find the need to put on makeup. It's better to just spend money on skin care products and sunscreen rather than cosmetics. However, I get curious too with makeup. The colors are very attractive and it's nice to experiment on these and I always wonder how they would look on me. My friends say that makeup isn't harmful as long as you buy organic ones. I still won't sleep with makeup on no matter what. Our skin needs to breathe and makeup would only block our skin's pores.
