   Step 2: Never go to sleep with makeup on.

   If you sleep with makeup on, it will clog your pores, dull your skin, and be smeared all over your face the next morning.
   
   Cleanse your face with a gentle makeup remover, and then scrub with a facial wash to remove pore-clogging debris from your face before you go to sleep.
   
   You will appear more refreshed and natural when you wake up.Be sure to fully remove any mascara from your eyelashes.
   
   Pay special attention to your forehead, nose and chin.
   
   These areas usually get oily, and you definitely want to get rid of any possible makeup in these specific areas. , If you don't, your teeth will be noticeably gross in the morning and you will have bad breath.
   
   Consider using a good mouthwash for fresh breath and floss your teeth every night. , You do not want to wake up with dry, flaky skin.
   
   After you wash your face, be sure to apply a moisturizing cream so your skin can stay hydrated all night.

   If you have extremely dry lips, exfoliate your lips before bed, and then apply chap stick. , Your skin needs water to stay healthy and glowing, and your next chance for hydration after you lay down for bed is hours away.
   
   Try drinking one or two glasses of water before you fall asleep to keep your skin beautiful. (If this is more than you usually drink, make sure you use the bathroom before going to bed.) , If you don't allow your body to rest, your eyes may start to develop dark circles and heavy bags, making you appear tired upon waking.
