Katrina Kaif’s most important skincare rule sparks debate: Dermatologist weighs in
(Source: Instagram/@katrinakaif)Katrina Kaif has one skincare non-negotiable: she has to go to bed with a clean face. During a rapid-fire round with Femina India, when asked if she would sleep with her makeup on or skip sunscreen, the actor replied: “Sleeping with your makeup on, to me, is the worst thing. I can skip sunscreen on and off, but taking off your makeup before sleeping is the number one most important rule for skin health.” Curious about her take, indianexpress.com reached out to a health expert to find out whether that is actually true.DISCLAIMER: This article is based on information from the public domain and/or the experts we spoke to.

Dr Shareefa Chause, Dermatologist, Dr Shareefa Skin Care Clinic, Mumbai, clarified that not wearing sunscreen is generally more harmful for the skin in the long term than sleeping with makeup on occasionally. “Sunscreen protects the skin from harmful UV rays, which are the main cause of premature ageing, pigmentation, tanning, and even increase the risk of skin cancer over time,” she told us, adding that daily sun exposure without protection gradually damages collagen, leading to fine lines, dark spots, and loss of skin elasticity.
