We’ve all been there: It’s the end of a long day and you’re just flat out too tired to go through the hassle of washing your face before bed.

3. EXTRA WORK IN THE MORNING

Imagine waking up with a fresh, clean face with minimal maintenance rather than skin that’s caked with yesterdays foundation.

4. DRIES OUT YOUR LASHES

5. IT’S THE SAME AS NOT DRINKING WATER FOR A DAY
