Does going to sleep with mascara cause your eyes to develop fine lines around them?

Sleeping without removing your mascara is not recommended. Apart from hygiene reasons, the overnight mascara will increase the contact time with your lower eye-lid. This will increase the chance of developing irritation or allergy to the mascara. Any skin irritation tends to cause the surrounding area to become dry causing fine lines to develop in the area. This also causes dark circles around the eyes. On top of this, mascara that is left on overnight can seep into your skin and cause the lower eye-lid to look darker.
