We don’t necessarily always have to wear a full face of makeup. Sometimes we need to give our face an off day and show the world we can be beautiful regardless. This move is also beneficial for your skin, just as we need to let our natural hair rest from constant braiding and weaving, the skin also needs some days to rest and rejuvenate itself.

Here Are 7 Steps To Achieve The Perfect Face For “No Makeup” Day.

Use a natural home-made facial mask.

Most chemically created facial masks cause different reactions with different skin types. Instead of trying out several chemically created products, why not use natural products instead? Your skin will love it.  Benefits of natural facial masks include; smooth face, eye bag reduction, less redness, tighten pores, remove impurities and even help to get rid of dead skin cells. You can make the masks with; Egg white, honey, cucumber, Avocado, grape fruit, oatmeal etc.

Exfoliate your face

The first step to a perfect day without makeup is to wash the face completely and also exfoliate. Exfoliating the face will rid your skin of all dead skin cells that make you look dull/ashy. This will also encourage the growth of new skin cells. Once you’ve dried your face, you will immediately notice that your face looks a lot brighter because a new skin has been revealed. Exfoliate at least once or twice a week to keep your face looking smooth, radiant and youthful.

Moisturize your skin.

A lot of people don’t know this, but moisturizer does so much more than remove the “ashy” look from your skin. Moisturizers prevent and treat dry skin, protect sensitive skin, improve skin tone and texture, and mask imperfections. Most moisturizers also contain SPF which protects your skin from sun damage.

Groom Your Brows

If the frame of a window is beautifully designed, it automatically makes the window attractive. This also applies to the face because your brows are the frames of your face. Bushy and unkempt brows can flaw your beautiful skin and facial features. Trimming and grooming your brows will make you look much more responsible and neat. It will also make you feel very confident with your makeup free face.

Put On Some Lip Balm

Lip balm is a complete life saver. No girl should be seen without one in her purse. It helps to plump up the lips and make it look smooth, plump and more attractive. Lip balm repairs damaged skin on the lips. An addition to this essential is the addition of SPF and colour for protection and beauty, respectively.

Let Down Your Hair

Your hair style makes all the difference in your makeup and outfits. The right hairstyle takes your look from “cute natural beauty” to “sexy natural beauty”. Letting down your hair can also compensate for the fact that you’re not wearing any makeup. Try this experiment at home: Stand in front of the mirror with no makeup on and let your hair down. You would definitely see a very huge difference in your look.

Wear glasses or shades

We all can’t deny the fact that a pair of shades adds extra cool points to your look. Shades or glasses also hide under-eye dark circles. If you would be out and about then pick up some fashion forward shades. If you would be indoors, get glasses that frame your face perfectly.

Follow these steps when next you plan on going a whole day without makeup and watch how your confidence gets a boost while your skin looks ravishing.
