Is it okay to wear bb cream to bed?

I'm going out tonight and I'm crashing at a friends house. I have relatively clear skin, a few blemishes here and there so I opt for a BB cream over a regular foundation. I know BB cream isn't good to sleep in as it is a cosmetic products, but tonight I won't really have a choice if I take it off or not, I'll try my best but I'll probably forget to take it off.

What would happen if I slept with it on? I absolutely breakout if I sleep in regular foundation, so will that happen? Thanks!

If it's labeled Non-comedogenic (meaning doesn't clog pores), it most likely won't. If you have oily skin it most likely will since people with oily skin usually have larger pores and well, more oil. I wouldn't risk it if I were you.
check for clog poring ingredients:

(to make it easier search up the name of the bb cream's ingredients, press ctrl+f, and type in the name of the ingredient. just search for the ones highlighted in red. Isopropyl Myristate is the worst offender)

If you do wear bb cream to bed you will break out. Make sure yku wash your face of all dirt oil and makeup before you go to bed. Also if you did sleep on it then all your makeup will rub off onto your pillow and then all that dirt oil and makeup will be on your pillow and the breakout cycle just keeps on going.

I don't recommend this at all- it's most likely that you'll break out due to the oil and the bb cream soaking into your skin

What i think of is sweet to undergo in ideas is which you mustn't ever bypass to sleep with any heavy, or daylight hours makeup. Your epidermis maintenance itself throughout the evening. yet once you desire hydration, the varieties of things that are okay to sleep with on is: moisturizer, eye lotions and restoration lotions. good success!

Better to wash it off. Oil can get trapped overnight and you'll break out.
