So You Slept In Your Makeup — Here’s How to Recover

STEP 4: Treat Breakouts

If you notice any breakouts coming on, apply a spot treatment. One of our favorites is the La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo Dual Action Acne Treatment, which contains benzoyl peroxide to kill acne-causing bacteria and LHA to exfoliate pores.

STEP 5: Moisturize

As you should do every day, finish your skin-care routine with a moisturizing face cream. For winter, we love the IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Cream Hydrating Moisturizer, which offers 24-hour hydration, brightens and minimizes pores. 

STEP 6: Give Your Skin Some Time to Rest

If you can, skip face makeup for the day to avoid the potential of re-clogging your pores after you just went through a full routine to clear them out.
