A 37-year-old woman in Jilin, China, is now in the “Find Out” phase of her skin care routine. The woman says she has never fully washed off her makeup in 22 years, and now her face is paying the price. Known online only as Gao, she said she started wearing cosmetics at 15 but skipped nightly cleansing because “I’ll just put it back on tomorrow.” The shortcut worked until early this year, when her skin erupted in a severe rash that swelled, turned purple and itched “like tiny ants.”
She followed up with a bad decision; instead of seeing a dermatologist, Gao tried a cosmetic “skin-booster” injection that made things worse. Doctors who reviewed her video warn that failing to cleanse can clog pores, but they suspect more factors like cheap foundations, steroid creams or repeated injections triggered the extreme reaction.
