Crimes against faces

Call the beauty police. Women believe that failing to remove their make-up every night is their biggest crime. Tiredness is cited as the number one reason for lack of make-up removal (67%), followed by forgetfulness (38%) and a late night leading to laziness (36%), according to the Kleenex survey. Worst of all, more than a quarter (27%) admit to commonly re-applying a full face of make-up without removing their existing make-up first.
