15 Reasons Why Going Makeup-Free Is The Way To Be

Going makeup-free isn't just a social media fad that's about to pass — more and more women are forgoing their makeup routines in their daily lives and totally loving it! If you aren't already on board with the #NoMakeup trend, here's some solid reasons for why you should start!

You’ll save a boatload of money.

Cosmetics have been proven to be one of the most outrageously marked up items in retail markets today. You’ve probably experienced the pain of buying a lot of makeup products first hand. Think of all the money you’ll save by going makeup-free!

Everything is sexier when it’s natural.

Going natural is a major beauty trend right now and many people find it totally sexy. There’s a reason many celebs are participating in the no make-up trend — and we think it’s about time!

You’ll save a lot of time.

Think of your morning routine and how long it takes you to apply all of your makeup. Now think of your evening routine and how long it takes you to prepare for bed. With all the hours you spend applying makeup to your face, you could easily be doing something else that’s a lot more worthwhile.

Your pores will be less clogged.

Everyone knows that wearing a lot of heavy makeup isn’t the best thing for your pores. Avoid trapping dead skin cells and subtle acne causes by ditching the products altogether!

No more struggling to find the perfect color.

No matter how hard you try, you can never seem to get the perfect shade of concealer. Save yourself a lot of time and headache by just ditching it in the first place.

It can harm your skin in the long run.

Many chemicals found in popular makeup products can actually cause your skin to age faster. Avoid older looking, drier skin and simultaneously ensure that your skin will look naturally radiant in the years to come. Take it from Scar Jo!

It’ll help you find your true significant other.

Any spouse or significant other that you choose to spend your time with should love you unconditionally — that means loving you with or without makeup. You can sort out the good prospects from the bad by going makeup-free to begin with. Consider it a true test of compatibility!

No more midday touch-ups.

The worst part of wearing a lot of makeup to work is the mid-afternoon touch-up that you always have to do without fail everyday. Say goodbye to that extra hassle.

It boosts your self-confidence.

Once you embrace your natural body and are comfortable with others seeing the true you, you’ll find a very rewarding inner joy that translates to a lot of self-confidence.

Your skin will actually feel healthier.

You know how healthy and fresh your skin feels when you wash your face at night and get rid of all that caky product sitting on your cheeks? Well, you can be one step closer to feeling that way all the time if you ditch your powdery makeup products.

You won’t have to worry if you ACTUALLY applied it right.

We’ve all tried to do those YouTube tutorials on how to properly apply a certain type of cosmetic — and we’ve all failed miserably. Save yourself from the embarrassment of doing something wrong and looking like a fool for all to see.

You’ll feel a lot less need to impress constantly.

Many ladies wear makeup because they feel they need to always be on their A game and consistently look their best. When you become confident enough to go makeup free and show the world the real you, this weight will be lifted from your shoulders. No one wants to feel like they have to constantly look their best — after all, the only person you need to impress is yourself.

Your face won’t be as shiny.

No matter what product you wear and no matter how hard you try, oily skin is inevitable when it comes to wearing a lot of cosmetics. Try to combat that unfortunately shiny look by ditching the products altogether.

No more watching out for expiration dates.

Who has time to read label dates on makeup bottles? Not only that, but expired makeup can truly damage your skin, with everything from major irritation and flakes to serious eye infections being a possibility.

You can be a trendsetter!

It’s no secret that wearing as little makeup as possible is totally IN right now! Be a step ahead of everyone else and jump on the no makeup bandwagon while it’s still trendy!
