They go through the wear and tear of work, hand-washing and even environmental stressors, such as the harsh rays of the sun.

Let's talk bedtime beauty routine. Sure, we know to take off our makeup and brush our teeth before falling asleep, but why is an extended bedtime beauty routine so essential?
