I woke up like this!

Let's be truthful Many of us rely on make up to give us confidence and make ourselves feel attractive. But in the real world we would love to ditch the morning routine of precisely applying our makeup and go minimal. 

But by thinking about doing so we some how feel vulnerable and exposed, afraid of how we would look, and scared of people judging us. If you are one of these people, then put down your mascara wand and throw out your insecurities and start reading, because this blog will give you a step by step plan on how you can both look and feel good without even putting on a tiny bit of makeup!

Get into the routine of washing your face twice a day.

 This hydrates your skin and gives you a natural fresh glow. Skincare is a main key factor in looking good without makeup. 

Spend what time and money you would have spent applying and purchasing makeup on skin care and find a good facial wash that is suited to your skin type. 

 Use it twice a day—once in the morning and once at night.

Develop a skin regime for your face. Whatever regime you choose, stick to it, and always follow through. Repeating the it in the morning and at night.

When buying your facial wash be sure to buy a moisturizer daily that also suits your skin type. Making sure every time you wash your face, you follow it up with an application of facial moisturizer. If you have sensitive skin, go for something gentle and unscented. If you are prone to pimples, try something light and non-oily.

Drier skin types should go for heavier moisturizers with soothing, nourishing ingredients like shea butter or aloe vera.

Exfoliate once a week.

 Exfoliation removes dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, leaving your face feeling and looking fresh and radiant. It can really help to give a healthy glow to your skin, which is a bonus when you're aiming to go makeup free. 

You can exfoliate using a clean washcloth soaked in warm water. Rub your face gently with the washcloth, in slow circular motions. This option is good for people with skin that is sensitive to the ingredients in any facial washes.

Never scrub your face too hard. This will dry out your skin and leave it feeling irritated, which is the last thing you want.

Always remove your makeup.

 Even though this article is a guide on how to look good without makeup, chances are you will still want to wear it from time to time. Whether in be on a night out with you girlies or a hot date with your love interest this is absolutely fine, this blog is tackling day to day I many I know for sure I'm not giving up wearing make up full time, but I couldn't imagine feeling that I have to wear it 24/7 or whenever people are around. Make sure that when you do wear makeup, you remember to take it off completely before bed. Makeup that is left on overnight can clog the pores and lead to pimples.

Use a specific makeup removing product or like a foaming cleanser or cream to remove the makeup, rather than your regular face wash. I find Nivea the best for my skin and their make up remover is incredible . 

Pimples can be one of the main reasons that people are afraid to go bare-faced. So if you can get rid of those, you will feel a lot more confident about going makeup free. Make sure to follow a rigorous skincare regimen to avoid pores from becoming blocked and remove any excess bacteria from the surface of the skin. Use products targeted at oily or acne-prone skin and look for moisturizers, sunblocks and makeup that are non-comedogenic (non-pore blocking).

If these measures do not seem to be work for you, consider seeing a dermatologist who can prescribe a stronger medicated cream or even a round of antibiotics or other oral medications.

Stop touching your face! 

I find myself saying this to so many people daily. This is a habit that the majority are guilty of, which can seriously affect the quality of the skin. Picking at spots, rubbing your forehead, or simply resting your chin on your hand are all things which add oil and bacteria to the skin, causing it to break out and look greasy.

Start from the inside out

Take care of your skin from the inside out. Be sure to get at least 8 hours of sleep per night, and to drink at least 5-8 glasses (or 1 and a half liters) of water. 

Sleep gives your skin a chance to repair and restore itself, leaving you looking fresh and without dark circles beneath your eyes, while drinking water hydrates the skin and purifies it from the inside out, flushing out toxins and fueling the skin's metabolism.

Pay attention to dental hygiene.

 A white, healthy smile can work wonders for your overall appearance, so make sure you give your teeth the care and attention they deserve. Brush at least twice a day, for a minimum of two minutes, using gentle circular motions. Focus on each tooth individually and don't neglect the hard to reach teeth at the back. Boom yourself in for a shine and polish there are some great deals on www.groupon.com.

It is also as important to floss daily as it is to brush. Flossing removes built-up bacteria, food particles and plaque from between the teeth, thus preventing cavities from forming.

ALWAYS  REMEMBER TO BRUSH YOUR TONGUE 

with a toothbrush and use a mouthwash to prevent bad breath.

And last but not least 

Thread your eyebrows.

 Keep your eyebrows looking tidy by removing any stray hairs. Adding frame to your eyes gives you life! And does wonders for your face by making them the center of attention. Well-manicured eyebrows can be very striking and add definition to your features without the need for makeup.

Once that's done, you will be able to maintain your new shape at home with a pair of good, quality tweezers. Always pluck one hair at a time, and pluck from the bottom of the brow rather than the top! 

By following these easy steps in the morning and night you can achieve glowing skin in no time and your confidence will allow you to love yourself with or without make up. 

You are beautiful you just don't know it yet! 

All subjects i speak about will soon be followed by a vlog, getting a number of different people involved to see a wide range of thoughts and feelings on all of these interesting topics.
