This is what happens to your skin when you swim with makeup on
Swimming with your makeup on might not be so bad for you after all. In certain cases, it can be beneficial for your skin, according to Cosmopolitan.
You can get in the water with your makeup on, but it would be ideal to clean your face once you get out, according to Jeannette Graf, a New York-based dermatologist. “If [makeup] dries with your wet skin, it can cause further irritation and bacteria can sit on the skin,” she says.
Although it might not be the best thing for your skin, there are certain exceptions. “If makeup is water resistant and has sun protection, it can be helpful to your skin,” Graf notes.

Graf recommends to apply sunscreen first and then putting on water resistant makeup with SPF protection, if you plan on wearing makeup in the water.
