What Make-Up Does To Your Face When You Don't Wash It Off For A Month (VIDEO)

WATCH: What Make-Up Does To Your Face When You Don't Wash It Off
|

We've all had that Skeletor moment - you know, you fall asleep with your make-up on and then you wake up to find your eyes look like hollow death-holes and your face is puffy from the toxins.

To show just exactly what the long term effects were of wearing make-up and not removing it properly, one woman volunteered to see what would happen if she didn't wash the makeup off her face for a month. Apart from the hygiene implications, it also prematurely ages the skin.

We guarantee you'll wash religiously if you didn't before!
