How To Look Fresh Faced Without Makeup
/Many of us rely on make-up to feel beautiful. In fact, some of us can’t even leave the house without slapping some foundation and eye shadow on. Going make-up free now and again can be healthy for our skin. It can also free up time in the morning spent doing your make-up, while also saving you money spent on cosmetics. More importantly, it can help you build your self-confidence and make you feel more comfortable in your own skin!
Here are just several ways to rock a more natural look:
Get your beauty sleep
A full sleep cycle is essential for flushing the toxins out of our bodies. If you complete this cycle and wake up early without enough sleep, your skin will appear paler and puffier. Stress may also increase the likeliness of spots and rashes. Try to aim for seven to nine hours of sleep per night to counter this. Your skin will look fresher and rosier and you’ll be less likely to get spots. Try staying away from screens before bed and get into a nighttime routine.
Stay hydrated
Drinking lots of water is also good for your skin by keeping it moisturized. It helps blood flow, allowing nutrients to more easily reach the surface of your skin. This will give your face a more natural glow and can improve wrinkles, elasticity, and all-around appearance.
Up your skincare routine
A skincare routine can help to prevent spots and wrinkles. This could include washing your face, exfoliating it, moisturizing and possibly using other serums. Washing will help to clean out pores while exfoliating gets rid of dead skin cells. Moisturizer helps provide oils into the skin needed for keeping it supple. As for skin serums, these come in all forms and are usually used to help treat spots and wrinkles directly. Check out our recent post - Easy Skincare Without The Routine for more tips!
Consider your hairstyle
A clean and tidy hairstyle will help to emphasize your beauty. Consider seeing a hairstylist and see what they recommend. There are many low maintenance styles that can allow you to stay looking fresh-faced and beautiful without having to put lots of different products in your hair (if you’re taking a break from using cosmetics on your face, you may as well take a break from using them in your hair). My personal favorite is a sleek topknot. It not only looks put together but gives your face a little lift by pulling all your hair up and back.
Work on your smile
A smile is more warming and more attractive than any amount of make-up. Think positive thoughts when going make-up free so that you’re encouraged to smile more often. Some people can get embarrassed about their smile – most often because they don’t like their teeth. If this is the case, consider ways of improving your teeth such as straightening them or looking into whitening methods. If you’re more embarrassed about the way you smile, you can always try practicing in a mirror or your selfie camera (many people have an angle that they prefer).
Work on your self-confidence
At the core of it all, it’s all about how beautiful you feel on the inside and my dear you are. By working on your self-confidence, you’ll grow to not care what people think of you without makeup and you’ll learn more and more to do what makes YOU feel beautiful not what society or someone else makes you feel like you need to do to make you feel beautiful. We are all our own worst critics but at the end of the day, it is all about loving ourselves and the bodies we are in!
