As a woman who stopped wearing makeup, I wholeheartedly agree! My skin looks better, even my eyelashes became noticeably darker and longer, my rosacea improved. And I’m now totally confident about my natural face. 

Plus I always hated having to do and wear makeup so… ✌🏻

Moisturizer and sunscreen is all now- and you know that extra 30 minutes of sleep and the thousands of dollars I’ve saved by no longer buying cosmetics. Now that money goes to traveling 💃🏼

Some women (and men and non-binary pals) genuinely enjoy makeup as a hobby and that totally valid. But if you hate it and you’re just doing it because of societal pressure- ditch it! Your natural face is totally fine!

Same here. I used to use like a billion products on my face, various serums and acne spot treatments and whatnot. I no longer wear makeup, and use a very basic face wash + moisturizer with spf, nothing else, and my skin is sooooo much better. Obviously everyone is different and this won't work for everyone but I highly recommend anyone at least trying. I still get a few pimples around my period, but instead of trying to fight them or cover them I focus on just leaving them be and they go away so much faster now. I'll do eye makeup or lipstick when I wanna dress up but foundation is out for me.
