We’ve all heard that wearing makeup isn’t the best for your skin. Yes, layering on foundation, bronzer, and a series of concealers and setting powder surely cannot be the best for your skin. This is especially true if you commit the crime of not taking all your makeup off before bed each night!
But, although it is common to hear the disadvantages of wearing a full face of makeup every day, little is ever spoken about the benefits of going for a no makeup look.
With more jobs than ever before going remote, this means more time at home and the perfect opportunity to try the no makeup look. With that said, this no makeup transformation isn’t a short fix. It takes at least one month to see the full benefits of not wearing makeup.
In this article, you’ll learn all the benefits of what happens when you stop wearing makeup for a month. Even better, BB Aesthetic offers a variety of services to improve your skin even further during your no makeup revolution.
In order to see the full effects of no makeup at work, you must have patience. You won’t wake up after a day of no makeup and instantly see results. It takes about a month for you to see the true benefits of going no makeup.
This is because, though a few days of no makeup allows your skin the chance to breathe without the weight of heavy coverage makeup, a month allows your skin to go through the full skin cell cycle without the addition of any makeup products.
Your skin cells take about 28 to 40 days (the length of one month!) to shed and be replaced by new cells. This makes way for brighter, healthier skin with less clogged pores and unnecessary breakouts.
Inevitably, the longer you go with this no makeup movement, the better it is for your skin. This is because it stabilizes the skin to naturally produce oils and hydration without the added interruption of heavy face makeup.
As briefly mentioned above, the no makeup look allows your skin to go through its entire natural skin cell cycle, allowing for a brighter, more hydrated look that will have you question why you didn’t go the no makeup route sooner.
Some other benefits of sporting a beautiful no makeup face include:
You are less likely to experience breakouts, blackheads, or pimples because the no makeup movement won’t clog your pores. This is great because it also allows your skin to breathe, and you won’t have to use harsh acne products that can dry out your skin.
Want to take your skincare to the next level? BB Aesthetic provides the opportunity for effortlessly radiant skin with Diamond Glow. This device removes your top layer of skin and delivers serums to enhance your skin to look more rejuvenated.
Not only does wearing less makeup reduce breakouts, but it can also minimize the look of your pores. This is because when your pores are clogged, they get enlarged from all the buildup of makeup inside your pores.
Your skin’s natural oil production will stabilize, resulting in more balanced, hydrated skin. When you apply makeup products, this disrupts your natural facial oil production.
Consider enhancing your skin’s flawless look even further with a facial at BB Aesthetic.
Now that you are not using any makeup products or makeup brushes, this means you are not exposing your skin to bacteria that can linger or build up in opened makeup products and generously used brushes.
Your fine lines will be less noticeable thanks to not needing to tug and pull at your face to remove your makeup each night. Although you should still be cleansing and moisturizing each night, you won’t have to tug at your face and eyelashes to wipe off all your makeup.
Still noticing fine lines and wrinkles? BB Aesthetic offers Botox to decrease the look of fine looks for a more youthful you.
Your eyelashes will look fuller because there will be no unnecessary breakage caused by mascara. Although wearing mascara can make your eyelashes look more voluminous, when you constantly apply this product and then remove it with an eye makeup remover, this can be weakening and break off your eyelashes.
If you still want fuller-looking eyelashes, BB Aesthetic offers lash lifting to naturally enhance your eyelashes for a fuller, thicker eyelash look.
During your time of going no makeup, this doesn’t mean you get to go the easy route and not take care of your face entirely. You should still be following a skincare routine daily to cleanse and hydrate your face. And, don’t forget to apply an SPF to protect your skin!
If you are looking for more ways to improve your skin, no matter if you decide to go on the no makeup movement or not, schedule an appointment at BB Aesthetic today to enhance your natural beauty.
You may be wondering, what do I do if I consistently wear a full face of makeup each day?
If it’s difficult for you to cut out makeup completely, consider going for a lighter makeup look or opting out of one or two heavier makeup products. For example, instead of using a full coverage foundation, consider using just concealer to cover up your problem areas. Tinted moisturizers are also great to keep your skin hydrated, while also giving you coverage without using a heavy foundation.
We're definitely in the Golden Era of makeup—every day, it seems there's a new makeup line, a new eyeliner, or a highlighter everyone on Instagram is screaming about. And that's great and cool, but there's also the people for whom makeup isn't a priority. They appreciate what it does for others, but they've got other things going on. That's a great thing — what's good for one person might not be the best for another, and that's the best part of being in the beauty industry. There are skin benefits to not wearing makeup, but there are also makeup products that are good for your skin, too. Your relationship to makeup should benefit and boost your life, not harm it—so if it's not your thing, that's totally fine. It's all about what makes you feel most beautiful and the most comfortable. Ahead, check out the benefits of not wearing makeup and the reasons why real women say they opt to go bare-faced.
The Benefits of Not Wearing Makeup
Meet the Expert
Dr. Hadley King is a New York-based dermatologist.
Going without makeup can really have benefits to your skin, particularly if you were regularly wearing heavy, comedogenic makeup that was clogging your pores and causing acne—time away from that sort of regimen will be great for your skin.
"Unlike many skincare product ingredients, which penetrate into your skin, makeup sits on top of your skin," Dr. King explains. While super-heavy coverage foundation can look good, that level of coverage can also affect your skin's sebum production as well as its natural hydration, because skin behaves differently depending on external factors, like humidity. "Taking a break allows your skin to recalibrate. Often a barrier of makeup increases oil production, so not wearing makeup can decrease oiliness, clogged pores and pimples."
Another benefit can be on skin ailments makeup can exacerbate, like rosacea —You'll definitely see an improvement if there were any ingredients in the makeup that were irritating the skin.
