1. Your Skin Appreciates the Break
First and foremost, it’s good for your skin to have occasional makeup free days. As lovely and fun as makeup is, it isn’t completely healthy for your skin. It can actually clog your pores and lead to breakouts. It’s true that there’s a good selection of makeup to choose from that can work well with your skin. But giving your skin the day off every now and then is a good idea.
2. It’s a Good Time for Beauty Treatments
Giving yourself a makeup free day makes a great time for a facial beauty treatment. You can give yourself a microdermabrasion treatment, wear a mask or treat your skin to the cleansing benefits of a steam bath. It’s all about what you feel your skin needs most. Facial treatments leave your skin looking and feeling beautiful. You can achieve a glow with no makeup required.
3. It’s a Time-saver
Some days are very busy and there’s just little time for makeup. It’s okay to go without makeup at those times. At the very least, you should establish a five minute face. This simply means you have a look you can pull together with makeup in less than five minutes when your time is short. You’ll love that you came up with the day is crazy.
4. It’s Relaxing
It’s actually relaxing to have a break from the ritual of makeup. It makes you feel as if your day is a little different. Enjoy the slow pace every once in a while. Maybe it’s a day off work or a day you’re just running errands. You may find that those occasional makeup free days are your favorite days of all.
"Enhancing your beauty doesn't always mean going for the glossy look. More ladies now see the allure of a shine-free finish. With the right tools and techniques, you can also achieve a flawless, subtle glow. Learn how to master this trend by following these incredible matte makeup tutorials. Enhance your natural complexion without the unnecessary flash."
5. It’s Attention Getting
Want to catch your crush’s eye? Go without makeup for a day. One of the first things I did when I started dating my husband was let him see me without makeup. While I love makeup and wear it almost daily, I was all about keeping it real. That’s something guys will respect you for, ladies. A guy that’s interested in you will adore you with or without makeup.

6. It Breaks Your Dependence on Makeup
If you feel like you’re dependent on makeup then it’s time for some occasional days off. It’s important not to be so dependent on your makeup that you can’t run out for a quick errand without it. Don’t let makeup imprison you. Let it be something you wear to celebrate your femininity but don’t be tied to it. Breaking that dependence is powerful.
7. It Gives You an Appreciation for Your Real Beauty
Having occasional makeup free days gives you an appreciation for your real beauty. Learn to love the real you. I’m talking about the you that’s under the layers of mascara and beautiful lipsticks. It’s great to enjoy yourself and all the beautiful looks you can create with makeup but never forget your authentic beauty. Embrace the freckles or soft lashes you were born with.

Mama: Tomorrow I will go to work without makeup. It takes me a bloody half hour to decorate my face! 😂😂😂
melodyrose: I don't wear make-up at all and I feel beautiful by exercising and eating healthy. By not wearing make-up, you can save a lot of money, or spend it on other way cooler things. In my case: books, DVDs and food! Loving Earth Chocolate mmmmm 😊
Misty: I hardly wear makeup unless we are going out/dinner. Even then it's hardly any.
Brandi: I love this!! Definitely have no makeup days - some days I just put on my 3D mascara and some days I go all out and do full makeup! Just depends on my mood 💕
HaillynFlores: My everyday makeup consists of baby powder to control oily skin and/or lipgloss or lipstick.
Happygirl: Beryl, sunscreen doesn't actually prevent cancer.
Cheryl: Yes i think theres nothing worse than people who constantly over do their make up that the one time you see them without you cant recognize them
Sari: I'm gonna have to put on my big girl panties and try this out!
Choclatelovee: Happygirl she never said it prevented skin cancer
Olivia: Thank you for this article! Much appreciated. I have a slight addiction to makeup although I have smooth skin, my skin tone is uneven and makes it hard to skip foundation. I will put on my big girl panties and try this... 👌
