Why wearing less makeup makes you more beautiful

My western friends often like to pile on make up whenever we plan to go out.  But makeup is not a long term plan for beauty.

As you know, wearing makeup does not allow your skin to breathe, and this can cause blackheads, pimples and wrinkles.

The trick is to wear less makeup.  To do this, you need to have a naturally clear complexion to begin with.  This can be accomplished through healthy living and diet.  Following this, I suggest only wearing makeup when you absolutely have to.  Don’t wear heavy makeup at work.  The moment you get home, wash your face thoroughly.  NEVER ever sleep in your makeup!

It is also important to use makeups that are more natural in composition.  Here in Shanghai, there is a brand called ‘Natural Beauty’ (it might be available in your country too, or online) that sells makeup that is almost 100% natural.  I only wear makeup if I am going out in the evening.  I NEVER wear makeup to run errands or work.

If you are a heavy makeup wearer, I suggest you try to reduce this as much as you can.  There is no need to wear makeup when you are walking around the house at home.
