Many women like to leave the routine of meticulously preening in the morning and head out of the house with a fresh face. However, they may even be afraid of being exposed without makeup and worry about how they look. If you are one of them, put down your mascara and read this article. This article will show you how you can look beautiful and feel comfortable without any makeup!
Step
Part 1 of 3: Have Perfect Skin
Step 1. Wash your face twice a day
Skin care is the main factor in order to look beautiful without makeup. Determine the time and money you will spend on applying and buying skin care cosmetics. The first and foremost thing is to find a good facial soap that suits your skin type. Use twice a day, in the morning and at night.
- While it may be tempting to wash your face more than twice a day, it's not recommended. Washing your face too often can make your skin dry and irritated. Instead of getting better, the face looks even worse.
- Do a facial skin care routine. Whatever routine you choose, stick to it and keep doing it. Repeat the treatment in the morning and evening.
Step 2. Use a moisturizer every day
After washing your face, continue to apply facial moisturizer. Choose a quality daily facial moisturizer (preferably one that comes with sunscreen) and apply it every day after washing your face. Choose a heavier moisturizer to use at night.
- Choose a moisturizer that suits your skin type. If you have sensitive skin, look for a moisturizer that's gentle and doesn't contain perfume. If you are prone to breakouts, choose a light, non-greasy moisturizer.
- Dry skin should use a heavier moisturizer with soothing and nourishing ingredients like shea butter or aloe vera.
Step 3. Exfoliate your skin once a week
Exfoliating the skin will remove dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, so that the face becomes fresh and radiant. Keeping your skin healthy and glowing is very helpful because it can be beneficial when you don't feel like applying makeup. Look for facial soaps with special exfoliating particles that can be used at least once a week, but for maximum results use every 2-3 days.
- Alternatively, you can exfoliate using a clean washcloth soaked in warm water. Gently rub the face with the cloth in a circular motion. This method is suitable for people who are sensitive to the ingredients contained in facial soap.
- Don't scrub your face too hard when exfoliating your face and don't exfoliate too often. This can cause dry and irritated skin.
Step 4. Use a facial toner
Toner is a skin care product that is often overlooked, but it can work wonders to improve the appearance of the skin. Toners restore the skin's natural pH balance and also provide other benefits depending on the type of toner. Look for a toner that doesn't contain alcohol, as it doesn't dry out the skin and helps balance skin tone.
- A toner specifically for oily or acne-prone skin can help get rid of excess oil and tighten pores. Fresheners for dry skin help soothe irritation and protect skin with extra moisture.
- A toner that suits your skin type can be used every day, after cleansing and before applying moisturizer.
Step 5. Always remove makeup residue from your face
Even though this article contains instructions on how to look beautiful without makeup, you may still want to dress up and always wear makeup. This is true, just make sure when you put on makeup, don't forget to remove it before going to bed. Makeup that is still on your face overnight can clog your pores and cause breakouts.
Use a special product to remove makeup, such as a cleansing soap or cream to remove makeup. Do not use regular facial cleansers. Use a special eye makeup remover to remove mascara, eye shadow, and eyeliner
Step 6. Treat acne
Acne can be one of the reasons women are afraid to appear with an innocent face. So, if you can get rid of your pimples, you'll feel more confident about going without makeup. Make sure you do the right facial care routine so that the facial pores are not clogged and bacteria are removed from the face. Use products specifically for oily or acne-prone skin and opt for non-comedogenic (non-pore-clogging) moisturizers, sunscreens, and makeup.
- Choose acne creams and gels that contain over-the-counter benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. Both are very effective in treating acne.
- If this doesn't work, consider consulting a dermatologist who can prescribe a more potent acne cream, antibiotics, or over-the-counter medications.
Step 7. Use sunscreen
You should wear sunscreen every day, even if the weather is cold, cloudy, or snowing, as UVA/UVB rays can still damage the skin. Skin damage from the sun causes premature aging and what's worse, it can lead to skin cancer and other skin problems.
Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or more and if possible choose a sunscreen that works as well as a moisturizer. This will make applying sunscreen easy
Step 8. Stop touching your face
This is a habit that many women feel guilty about that can seriously affect the quality of their skin. Popping a pimple, wiping the forehead, or leaning on the chin are all things that can increase the oil and bacteria levels on the skin, causing acne and the face to look oily.
Rubbing the face can also relax the skin, resulting in premature wrinkles. So, if you want to improve the appearance of your skin, stop touching your face unnecessarily
Step 9. Treat your skin from the inside and out
Make sure to sleep at least 8 hours every night and drink about 5-8 glasses of water (or 1.5 liters). Sleep will give your skin a chance to repair and recuperate, so you look fresh and have no dark circles under your eyes. Consuming water can hydrate the skin and clear the face from the inside out, remove toxins, and increase skin metabolism.
The exact amount of water you need is determined by your specific needs. Generally, men need about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids daily. Meanwhile, women need 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids daily. Note that about 20% of this fluid requirement can be obtained from food, and the remaining 80% comes from water and other beverages
Part 2 of 3: Look Neat
Step 1. Pluck or shave your eyebrows
Keep the eyebrows always neat by shaving the hair of the unruly eyebrows. Having perfectly formed eyebrows will frame the eyes so that the face looks attractive and makes the eyes the center of attention. Eyebrows that are neatly shaved will look attractive and can highlight the character of the eyes without the need to use makeup.
- If you're afraid to pluck your eyebrows yourself and aren't sure what kind of eyebrow shape will suit your face, ask a beautician to pluck them or shave them first.
- If it is already formed, you will be able to maintain that eyebrow shape at home with a good and quality eyebrow tweezer. Pull out the eyebrow hair one by one and do it from the bottom, not from the top.
Step 2. Wash your hair every other day
Washing your hair often is important because it prevents your hair and skin from getting greasy. However, there is no need to wash your hair every day, unless your hair is very oily. Two days is enough. This habit will prevent your hair from getting dry but also not looking dry. Use a shampoo and conditioner that suits your hair type. Don't forget to cut your hair every 3-4 months to keep your hair neat.
- Instead of focusing on how often you wash your hair based on the time of day, try paying more attention to the condition of your hair and scalp. If your scalp feels itchy or your hair looks limp, it's time to wash your hair.
- Condition your hair, applying a small amount (about the size of a grapefruit) to the roots and ends of your hair every day. For more shine, smoothness, and softness, rinse your hair with cold water.
- Tie your hair in a low position at night so you don't get oil from your face.
Step 3. Curl the eyelashes
Long, curly lashes can make you feel very feminine. However, you no longer need to apply mascara to look like this. All you need is an eyelash curler, a device that looks scary, but is actually painless and easy to use.
- Curl your lashes with an eyelash curler and hold it for 10-20 seconds. Lashes will appear thicker so that the eyes look bigger.
- You can also make your lashes look thicker and darker by applying Vaseline and then brushing with an eyelash brush.
Step 4. Keep the lips looking smooth
Smooth and full lips are much more attractive than dry and chapped lips. So, take care of your lips by exfoliating and moisturizing. Exfoliate your lips by scrubbing them with a damp toothbrush, then moisturizing them with your favorite lip balm.
Protect your lips from extreme weather conditions by using a lip balm that contains sunscreen in hot weather or Chapstick brand lip balm in cold weather
Step 5. Clear the eyes
A good trick to make your eyes look bright and look healthy and observant is to use eye drops. These medications are available in pharmacies and can be a quick and easy way to improve your appearance. Put a drop or two in the eyes every morning, so that the eyes look bright and clear.
Although this method may be used occasionally, such as when you are about to have an important interview, do not use eye drops regularly because they can cause the eyes to widen and redden. In addition, the preservatives contained in eye drops can have a toxic effect if used frequently.
Step 6. Make the cheeks look flushed
One of the simple things to make your appearance look beautiful and healthy is to make your cheeks look a little red. The trick is to do regular exercise and spend time outdoors so you can breathe fresh air. However, the quickest way is to pinch or lightly slap your face to make your cheeks look a little red.
Step 7. Pay attention to dental hygiene
A smile that displays white, healthy teeth can give you a beautiful overall appearance. So, don't forget to take care and pay attention to your teeth. Brush your teeth in circular motions for at least two minutes at least once every two days. Focus on each tooth and don't neglect the part of the tooth that is at the back.
- Flossing your teeth is as important as brushing your teeth. Flossing your teeth can get rid of bacteria, food debris, and plaque between your teeth, thereby preventing cavities from forming.
- Don't forget to brush your tongue with a toothbrush and use mouthwash to prevent bad breath.
Part 3 of 3: Focus on Overall Appearance
Step 1. Smile
A smile will make the face look bright and radiate beauty inside. Smiling gives the impression of being happy and confident and also makes you look more attractive in the eyes of others. Smiling often will make you look attractive, whether you're wearing makeup or not.
Step 2. Have a healthy tan
Healthy, glowing skin can change your appearance. Skin looks brighter, smoother, and lighter in color. The best thing is to make the skin brown naturally by sunbathing but still using sunscreen. However, the process of tanning the skin with a tanning bed (the body is inserted into a device and then exposed to ultraviolet light) or other procedures is relatively expensive and can cause skin cancer. So, try a good quality spray on tan product, you don't want your tan to look fake. For the face, use bronzer (cosmetics to accent your makeup to make it look radiant) so that your skin looks bright like you've been out in the sun.
Look for a facial moisturizer that will give your skin a natural tan like you've been out in the sun in any weather
Step 3. Dress well
Feeling comfortable without makeup will depend on how confident you are in how you look. Every woman knows that a beautiful dress can make it seem as if she can face the world. So, use the time you usually spend on makeup by choosing the perfect outfit.
Wear clothes that make you feel comfortable. Don't push yourself to keep up with the latest trends or wear tight clothing. You will look perfect if you feel perfect
Step 4. Style your hair
Make sure that your hair always looks clean and tidy. That way, one worry will be reduced. Try a new haircut, such as adding layers or bangs, curls, buns, or braids. Use your imagination!
When you feel your hair looks messy, cover it with a scarf or a fashionable pet hat or use a small amount of dry hair shampoo to remove oil and add volume to your hair
Step 5. Eat a healthy diet
Looking healthy and feeling healthy has a lot to do with what you eat. Skin can be affected by a poor diet and healthy skin is essential to looking beautiful without makeup. Cut down on oily, fatty, and sugary foods and increase your intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean meats.
- Don't forget to drink lots of water to cleanse your body of toxins, keep your skin looking healthy, and so you don't feel bloated.
- Take vitamin supplements if you feel you are not getting enough from food. Vitamins A, C, and E are essential vitamins for the skin.
Step 6. Be confident
True beauty shines from within, so don't believe that you need mascara to be confident. Start believing in yourself. Stand straight, with your shoulders back, and your chin drawn up. Make eye contact with others and always smile. Remember, makeup is a tool used to highlight parts of the face. Your natural beauty is there from there.
Tips
- Drink lots of water. Water will make the skin look beautiful without makeup. Sunscreen will also help the skin stay healthy.
- You can also get rid of under-eye circles if you have trouble sleeping by placing an ice cube or a damp towel soaked in cold water for 25 seconds.
- Do exercise to stay in shape. Remember, beauty is seen from hair to toe.
- Make sure you are standing or sitting in an upright position. Slouching people are very unattractive.
- In addition to living a healthy life, try to have a pleasant personality and eat healthy foods.
- If you have acne on your face, an acne cream containing tea tree oil is a great remedy and it's also very affordable!
- Sudocrem brand cream is effective against acne. Apply a thin layer on the acne-prone area before going to bed. The next morning, the redness of the pimple will decrease and the blemishes will disappear without a trace. (Use an unused pillowcase to prevent the cream from sticking to the bed).
- Curl your eyelashes to make your eyes stand out and appear bigger.
- Let the hair down and comb it. If you want to curl it, you can use a curling iron.
- Paint your nails in a color that suits you. If you have blue or green eyes, then the right colors are blue, brown, and purple. However, if you have hazel or brown eyes, then green, pink and cream colors will suit you.
- Be confident in your skin tone.
Warning
Don't forget to use a moisturizer that has an SPF of at least 15 or just use sunscreen.
