The term can be translated as “morning” (Morning) and “get rid of” or “undress” (shed), as followers of the movement film themselves in the morning, removing all accessories and products applied before going to sleep.
The practice involves a nightly skin and hair care routine, using facial masks, lip and nose stickers, anti-wrinkle tapes, chin bandages, curlers and silk bonnets. All this with the aim of saving time when waking up. Even if it seems like a practical solution, this “night of beauty” can turn into a nightmare for your skin.
Risks of the morning shed
Dermatologist Paula Colpas, TheraSkin® consultant, warns about the risks deriving from leaving products on the skin for long periods. “Prolonged contact with face mask ingredients can cause irritation and dryness, making the skin more sensitive. Additionally, adhesives used in the mouth can make it difficult to breathe while sleeping and cause irritation to the lips.”
According to the professional, mixing many products with different active ingredients can harm the health of the skin. “This combination can be harmful, as some ingredients can become overly concentrated or lose their effectiveness if diluted together,” he explains.
