1.You’ll save lots of money
Think what you could do with an extra £10k
in your pocket, because that’s what one study
suggested that the average woman spends on
make-up in a lifetime.
Most of us do love our make-up and we spend
more that we need to on buying the very best
brands that we can, but it could make a big
difference in your monthly budget if you were
to go make-up-free, even on just a few days a
week.
2. When you get a compliment, you know it
is about you
When someone compliments you on how
beautiful you look, then you can be sure that
they are complimenting you and not your skills
with make-up.
A lot of girls say that they feel more
self-confident without make-up, and not
self-conscious at all. If anything, letting their
natural beauty show, made them feel just great.
3.You would save loads of time
Another one of obvious benefits of not wearing
makeup is that you’ll get a few minutes extra in
bed in the morning.
Depending on how elaborate your daily
makeup routine is, you’ll probably save around
10 minutes every morning.
It doesn’t stop there, though, you’ll also save
time during the day, because no touch-ups will
be needed and you’ll save time at night too,
because you won’t have to take the make-up
off again.
4.Your skin will be able to breathe
You’ll probably find that your complexion
improves because your skin will able to
breathe all day long.
It could be that the make-up that you are using
to hide blemishes and imperfections in your
skin is the very thing that is causing them in
the first place.
5.You can laugh and cry without worrying
about your eye makeup
Another benefits of not wearing make-up is
that you will be able laugh until the tears roll
down your cheeks and not end up looking like
something out of a horror movie.
No more smudged or running eye make-up to
worry about that will mean you can really let
yourself go and be yourself.
6. No more stains on your clothes
No more make-up smudges on the collar of
your clothes means no embarrassing moments
during the day and no more hard work trying to
clean the stains out of clothes later.
You won’t have powder fall on your bathroom
floor or counter tops to clean up either.
7.You’ll feel free again
If you have been wearing make every day, then
you’ve probably forgotten what it’s like to feel
the sun on your face or the breeze.
It can feel quite liberating to feel the elements
freely on your face, but do remember to wear
sunscreen, of course.
8. There won’t be any more make-up
mistakes
If you stop wearing make-up you will never
have that sinking feeling again when you look
in the mirror and realise that the great make-up
idea you had early on in the morning, doesn’t
look so great in the cold light of day.
No more wondering of this will work or that will
work.
You just get up, splash some cold water on
your face and go.
9.You can fall asleep wherever and when
ever you please
You will be able to fall asleep on the couch
and not leave a make-up smear all over your
cushions.
Another one of great benefits of not wearing
make-up is that you can also go straight to bed
whenever you feel like it and know that you
don’t have to remove any make-up products
before you do.
10.You can kiss and cuddle your man
without leaving a trace
You will also be able to get up close and inti-
mate with your man without leaving traces of
lipstick or make-up on his face and clothes too.
It’s perfect for those lunchtime rendezvous,
when he’s got to get back to work.

Give skin a rest
I
t is believed that the average woman will
spend more of her life wearing make-up
than not.
In a typical 24-hour day, women will have a
face full of cosmetics for nearly 13 hours and
will have just 11 hours free from it.
According to research, the typical woman
puts on her ‘face’ at precisely 8am and
spends 11 minutes applying it.
While it can no doubt boost your confidence
and make you feel better about yourself, it is
important to give your skin a break from time
to time and to give it the care it needs.
