If you are one of the many girls who cannot leave the house without makeup, this article is for you! I’m here to tell you about 5 out of the many perks of not wearing makeup on a daily basis. Let’s be honest, the society we live in today is harsh. Women all over the world feel like they have to have a full face of makeup to look beautiful. Well, that is SO not true. I’m one of those girls who LOVES makeup, but i barely wear any. I love knowing all about the new products and learning how to my makeup properly. However, throughout the years I have learned to not depend on makeup to feel beautiful and I am all about the au-naturale look. Here are my top 5 benefits of not wearing makeup!
1. It Will Boost Your Confidence:
I know this might sound crazy, but it’s true. The more you don’t wear makeup, the more you enjoy it. In the beginning, I could not go out of the house without at least some concealer and mascara, but now I go bare skin. Start ditching the makeup, your skin will thank you and it will start clearing up. Ever since I stopped wearing makeup every day, my skin has never felt so soft and glowy! Give it a try, you won’t regret it!
2. It Will Save You Money:
This is one of the best perks of ditching makeup! Instead of constantly buying new foundations, concealers and mascaras, I barely spend extra money on makeup. My best tip is to go makeup-less on the weekdays and use all of your nice, fancy products for the weekend on a night out!
3. It Will Clear Your Skin:
This one goes back to back with the confidence benefit of not wearing makeup. It is so essential to let your skin breathe, instead of covering your blemishes, fix them by letting your skin feel free of makeup. By covering it with layers of foundation, you are simply covering what is there, but what you don’t know is that you are creating more acne and not allowing what’s already there to heal. Keep in mind it is also crucial that you mantain a clean diet for healthy, glowy skin.
4. It Will Save You Time:
Come on girls, this one is a given! Who has time to put a full face on makeup on before class? Not me! Instead of spending so long doing your makeup, use that time wisely! You can either sleep in a little more, go for a run, or enjoy a nice, relaxing breakfast!
5. It Will Make You A Happier Person:
This is by far my favorite perk of not wearing makeup everyday. I am not only more comfortable around people, but I am confortable with myself. I have learned to accept my flaws and love the way I look. It has also allowed me to use my time in different ways and become a healthier person overall.
That’s a wrap! For all of our makeup lovers, this does now mean you have to stop wearing makeup – but I do believe and strongly advice all the girls to give your skin a break and most importantly, learn to love yourself in your most natural state!
