11 Tips And Tricks To Feel Confident Without Makeup

I can't lie; I'm a makeup fanatic. It's fun, it's creative, and when I feel like I look good, I feel good. Personally, becoming so accustomed to wearing makeup has made it difficult for me to leave the house without it. Going makeup free after wearing a full face of makeup everyday can be intimidating, and even scary. You may not be completely secure with how you look because you're so used to covering your face with all of your favorite products. There are ways to make makeup free days more bearable, and to feel more confident going bare faced. Here are some of my favorite tips and tricks to feeling confident without makeup!

1. Wash your face twice a day with a light cleanser- It's important to use light cleansers for daily use because it is gentle on your skin. Using cleansers with beads are very rough on your skin, and using them too often can cause your skin to go raw which can cause redness and breakouts. Use something gentle and simple like Dove soap twice a day. Wash your face each morning and night to cleanse yourself of all of the built up sweat and residue. Your skin will thank you.

2. Exfoliate twice a week- While you shouldn't use face wash with beads every day, it's okay to use one once to twice a week. The beads help to exfoliate and clear away any dead skin on your face. Just make sure you aren't doing this too often!

3. Moisturize twice a day- Along with washing your face, always make sure to moisturize. Moisturizer keeps your skin hydrated which will leave it feeling silky smooth.

4. Drink lots of water- This one's obvious, but still, I cannot stress the importance. Drinking water has endless benefits. Water can decrease breakouts, keep you hydrated, and makes your skin glow. Do your best to get your 8 glasses each day!

5. Groom your eyebrows- Eyebrows make the face. Groom your eyebrows by tweezing and combing them into place.

6. Give yourself a honey face mask- Honey can reduce redness and help clear up acne. Not to mention it's super moisturizing.

8. Red reducing eye drops- Use red reducing eye drops to get rid of redness caused by allergies. This will brighten up your eyes and liven your appearance.

9. Apply vaseline on your eyelashes- Use a clear mascara wand to apply vaseline onto your eyelashes. This will help your lashes grow longer and thicker, along with allowing the skin around the eyelid to remain smooth.

10. Lip scrub- Purchase a lip scrub to exfoliate your lips and keep them soft and supple.

11. Use coconut oil on eyebrows and hair- Coconut oil is full of vitamins that help hair grow longer while adding shine by hydrating dry, brittle locks. It can be substituted for conditioner and is free of all harmful chemicals.

Going through the day without a trace of makeup could be intimidating, but as long as you make sure to take care of yourself, you are sure to glow. Remember; even if taking off your makeup might feel strange or abnormal, you are beautiful with and without it.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
