Makeup - I need a break !!

Hi Guys ,

If you did land to this page and wanted to go through the idea of "taking a break" from makeup ! Kudos to you ! You are already on the mindset to feel happy within your own skin and flaunt it like anything with or without any imperfections.

Believe me, I love makeup myself ! I had been a makeup queen myself wearing tons of layers and displaying ostentatiously . I was in love with the idea of makeup and how easily I could be flawless at all times . Came gingerly to a point wherein I thought I am incomplete without makeup . I didn't wanted to go out without bb's and cc's on my skin. Also to add , I could notice my skin becoming more needy for makeup . That's when i decided STOP ! I need a break ! ... and then there was a breakup with "Makeup".

I firmly believe everyone needs a makeup break from time to time . Yes these fancy glosses and foundations can definitely boost our sense of confidence out and about but slathering out in those coats of makeup can be pretty unhealthy to our skin, so putting a pause button on these products and opting for a makeup free fresh face there may be some serious health benefits you never expected . 

Here's what happens to your face when we stop wearing makeup -

- Our pores will shrink  -  Foundation . blush or bronzer might look nice in all , but underneath the surface these tiny makeup particles accumulate in our pores , Along with the air pollutants our skin is exposed to everyday ,causing our pores becomes clogged and enlarged overtime. Going makeup free and regular cleansing minimises buildup inside the pores and reduces sagging and wrinkle formation in the long run .

- Fewer breakouts - The more makeup we use the more toxins and chemical compounds we are putting on our face . Not to forget all the bacteria stuff that builds up on our makeup brushes that we don't clean on a regular basis . All these germs not only clogs pores but also causes inflammation leading to more breakouts that we end up desperately try to cover up with more "makeup".

- Fewer eye infections - Mascara works wonders to make our lashes look longer and this turns as a fantasy how much our eyes can pop up with a little ink . but unfortunately most eye makeup causes preservatives which can cause eye irritations , red eyes , swelling , dryness and also itching . Plus germs can easily spread using eye makeup from person to person . 

-Goodbye to dry skin – Makeup messes with our natural cell renewal process , which can damage our surface , specially on the nights when we are too tired to take off our makeup. Allowing makeup overnight like this allows the dead skin cells to residue along with the makeup and interrupts the formation of new skin cells, which leads to a dull skin tone . So washing to all away leaves us a face which is more vibrant , glowy and hydrated.

-Fewer allergic reactions- Everyday makeup and skincare products are filled with elements like parabens , sulphates and metals which are amongst the various substances that commonly cause allergic reactions . A bad reactions to these substances can led to dermatitis. Which appears as a red bumpy patch on the surface of the skin and causes itching . If that happens its best to ditch the product. Going makeup free ofcouse can avoid this problem altogether.

-A healthier you – Besides reducing breakouts, evening your skintone and helping you face looking and feeling healthier ditching your makeup addiction can have positive effects on your body as well . Because these pesky contingents found in lipsticks and eye shadows can take a toll on the health of other parts of your body as well . Like increasing high blood pressure , behavioural abnormalities and even impacts our fertility so while you don’t have to keep away from makeup forever , it might not be a bad idea to give your bode a break from this stuff every now and then .

With no offenses to anyone ! Love your self and love makeup , but ofcouse not to an extend that you need to hide yourself underneath it <3 <3
