Somewhere along the way, companies that were marketing mineral powder used terms like "all-natural" and "fragrance-free." Women started to buy it in droves, because finally there was a foundation that was "so good for you that you can even sleep in it."
Women suddenly felt like they had the green light to fall asleep on the couch at night and not take off their makeup. This is simply not true. While many people with sensitive skin, allergies, or skin that is prone to breakouts will find that they have fewer skin problems when they wear mineral-based makeup, there is nothing better for you than cleansing and moisturizing before bed.
Besides, what must your pillowcases look like? If taking off your makeup at night is so difficult for you, invest $4 in the Up and Up Cleansing Towelettes from Target ($4), and leave them on your nightstand. Give your face a swipe, throw the towelette on the floor, and go to bed knowing you aren't aggravating your precious skin.
