Look Good Without Makeup

Though makeup is a great way to enhance your looks and bring out the best in you, you cannot wear it all the time. Some people do not like to wear makeup, while others break out from the use of it. Wouldn’t it be great to have a skin so flawless that you will look beautiful without makeup?

Look Flawless Without Makeup

Exfoliate Your Face

To look flawless, your skin must be flawless. You must exfoliate thrice a week to get rid of dead skin cells and bacteria on your skin. Scrubbing sloughs away dead skin cells, and promote new ones. While there are plenty of options available in the market, it is a better idea to make your own. Here are some ideas for you:

1. Grind up some brown rice and almond milk to get a natural scrub.
2. Use almond flakes and milk to exfoliate your face.
3. Use St Ives Apricot scrub if you want a commercial product.

Done regularly, exfoliation can get rid of hyperpigmentation, face marks, and uneven skin tone. Be sure you exfoliate your face gently, not roughly.

Infused Water

Fruits and vegetable infused waters are a great way to detoxify your body. Infused waters purge your body of toxins, which leads to clearer skin. Sip infused water throughout the day to keep your body free of toxins all day. To make infused water, simply dice fruits and vegetables of your choice and add them to a liter of water. Leave this water in the fridge overnight and enjoy throughout the day. Here are some ideas:

Facial Mist

Who doesn’t love the look and feel of a freshly washed day. Unfortunately, it gets greasy and oily within a few hours. You obviously can’t wash your face every few hours, as it will do more harm than good. Make your own facial spray instead to keep your face refreshed all day. Simply take some rose water and add a little water to it. Keep it in a sprayer bottle, and spray your face with it as many times as you like. This will keep your face hydrated and moisturized. It will also keep oiliness at bay.

Fruits and vegetable juices can give you a lot of nutrients. Incorporate different types of juices in your life to feed your body the necessary nutrients and minerals. Juices detoxify and hydrate your body. You can also do a juice cleanse if your body is in a bad shape.

Exercise and Meditation

Stress can lead to many health problems and it can affect your overall experience. Stress can give you acne, wrinkles, and fine line. Stress can make your hair fall. It can also make your hair gray. Stress can also make your nails weak and brittle. In short, stress can wreck a havoc on you. I know this sounds miserable. You are already worried when you are stressed, and on top of that, you have to stress about the harmful effects of stress! Bummer! Stress is a part of life. It is very easy to advise someone to not stress. No one stresses out intentionally. That being said, it is a good idea to maintain your stress. Try to remain positive. Talk with people. Find channels to release your stress. Divert your attention to something else whenever you are stressing out. Exercise and meditation are a great way to calm you. Exercise releases feel-good chemicals. Exercise also improves blood flow circulation in your body, thereby making your skin glow. Meditation is very calming and soothing.

Eliminate Toxic Foods

Most of us grew up on unhealthy food like bread, pasta, crisps, etc. We are accustomed to eating them and we do not question their ingredients. The truth is, highly processed and artificial food is bad for health. The body finds it difficult to digest these foods. Apart from that, some natural food sources like milk, meat, and fish can also be sometimes bad for you. This is because the milk we drink is not pure most of the times. It has artificial stuff injected into it. These skins can irritate your skin. The meat we eat often comes from animals who are injected so that they bulk up. Fish is often caught from toxic water. I am not advocation vegetarianism at all. Meat, fish and dairy should be a part of a healthy diet. Just be sure that you get them from a reliable place. To see if you are allergic to a particular food, try cutting it out from your diet for two weeks and see how your skin reacts. Also cut down on junk food like pizza, burger etc. Junk food is made up of processed food and unhealthy oils. It’s like poison for you. Rare indulgence is fine, just be sure not to eat it regularly. Once you make it a habit to eat healthy food, your body will no longer crave unhealthy, artificial food.
