And number three, a lot of you guys have asked, how the hell do you go to sleep like that at night and not ruin your bed sheets? Well, the answer is you apply it 30 minutes to an hour before you go to sleep. Do you really need to look like Mrs. Doubtfire? Unless that fulfills a fantasy of yours, the answer is no. Just apply a thin layer. A little bit goes a long way because this stuff is thick all over your face, looking like a pale ghost, one would say. And by the time you hit your bed at night and put your head on your pillowcase, it should be absorbed. And by the time you wake up, you should not really have much residue left behind. Happy basting.
