Primadonna Style: Makeup Breakup

Makeup makes many women around the world feel more confident and sexier. It’s a delicate balance though because sometimes too much of a good thing can turn into an issue. Many women have experienced clogged pores and damaged skin cells due to the wear and tear of makeup. Although it sounds sacrilegious, putting down the foundation brush from time to time can be beneficial in a variety of ways. Here are four which are bold and brave reasons to go out in the nude.

Silicon Pores

We don’t tend to associate this plumping agent with the skin, but lots of high street brands use silicon. What happens next is not healthy over a long period. The chemical starts to break down the cells and leaves the pores open from dusk to dawn. Seriously, they don’t shut and are open to all sorts of dirt and debris. When experts say ‘don't make these simple mistakes,’ they are talking about silicon. Wearing less makeup is a simple solution, as is using organic products. The results may not be the same, but in the long run, your skin will look younger and healthier.

Purse Strings

There are too many new techniques to learn, yet we invest in the products anyway. It doesn’t matter that the product may go untouched; it simply makes us feel better to know it’s on that we have the latest and greatest palette or product on the vanity table. Obviously, splashing out on ‘state-of-the-art’ items is expensive and sets women back hundreds, if not thousands of dollars a year. Once you realize there is no way to use them all, buying and trying every new product that comes to market can be pretty wasteful.

How Old Are You?

In a weird twist of fate, young girls slap on makeup and older women go for the au naturel vibe. The theory is that youthful skin is stronger and less likely to get damaged as opposed to older skin. As true as the logic may be, all of us could benefit from a couple of days a week with a fresh face or lighter coverage.

You Are What You Eat

What animals eat and drink and it goes into their bloodstream. Makeup is similar in the sense that what goes on your face ends up in your body. As the chemicals absorb into the bloodstream, they can mess around with your bodily systems. Becoming knowledgeable about the ingredients used in your makeup, and taking a break from makeup occasionally will ensure you don’t have to deal with health-related issues.
