As many of you know, I am all about living a #carefreehealthy life! I believe it is important occasionally detox and stick with eating clean as an 80/20 rule. It is also important to stay active, at least a few times a week with an exercise program you enjoy. One thing I have not touched on yet, mainly because I had not done it myself, is doing a SKIN detox.
A skin detox you ask?
Why?
-your skin will thank you
-you will learn to love your imperfections
-your skin cells will have a chance to regenerate
-you will find a new type of confidence you didn't know you had
-you will develop a new type of "glow" from allowing your skin to breathe more
So, today is day 5 for me and it has not been easy. While I do not wear a lot of makeup, I still "hide" behind a little concealer, tinted moisturizer, or foundation.
One thing I'm already able to tell is my skin is starting to clear up! Water intake is important as well - we must hydrate from the inside to give our skin, our largest organ a good "drink."
Our society is SO FIXATED on perfection and by NOT wearing makeup this week I am learning that inner beauty, TRUE, RAW, REAL us is where its at! While there is nothing wrong with wearing makeup (and I enjoy it actually) I believe it is important to occasionaly give our faces a break and allow it to heal and re-set, just as a detox would do for the rest of our bodies!
I want to encourage you to do the same! If you do not want to do this for a week, start small with maybe just two days - Saturday and Sunday for example. I look forward to hearing what you think! Summer is a great time to go makeup-free as sweating with makeup on can also lead to more breakouts! I look forward to hearing back from you with what you think of this challenge.
True beauty comes from the inside and this is just one way to prove that we do not need makeup to feel ourselves, to feel beautiful, or to feel confident.
Let your skin breathe, let it reset, and reveal that inner glow that is waiting to be seen!
