The skin on your lips require special care and attention daily, so make sure to provide them with the nourishment they need. Exfoliate your lips at least twice a week and make lip balms your BFFs. To add that natural rosy tint to your lips, you need to boost the blood circulation. This can be done by massaging your lips with a soft, moistened toothbrush dipped in sugar or by even using peppermint oil.
Concentrate On Your Brows

No matter how many times you’ve heard this statement, it never gets old — your brows are THE most important feature on your face. Your brows can make or break your look regardless if you are wearing makeup or no. When you are going makeup-free, they command all the attention, so be sure to keep them in shape and if you need to, you can add a little tint to them as well.
Always Use Sunscreen
No matter the weather or season, sunscreen is a must if you want to avoid dull skin or dark spots. The sun’s harmful UV rays can cause a lot of damage to the skin, which can also lead to premature ageing, so the next time you step out of the house, make sure you have your sunscreen on.
Skin Is In

For most of us, this quarantine has helped us understand the importance of a proper skin care regimen and the wonders it can do for the skin. Following a regular skincare routine with the right products which cater to your skin type, gives your skin the nourishment it needs, in turn, keeping it soft, supple, hydrated and firm. And obviously, when your skin is already great, there’s no need to use makeup to create that natural look.
Pick The Right Diet
Yes, we understand it’s hard to resist junk food, but studies have confirmed that your food intake has a direct effect on your skin. If you want healthy, glowing skin, it’s time to reduce your oily food intake and include foods that are rich in fatty acids, vitamin E, and carotenes. Foods like walnuts, seafood, fatty fish, and plant oils help reduce acne, protect your skin from sun damage, and even fight free radicals.
There is nothing wrong with using a little makeup to perfect the natural look if it makes you feel confident, but if you want the confidence to bare it all sans makeup, start by practising these tips.
