Let your skin shine! My top five tips to not wearing foundation.

Develop a skincare routine

http://www.sophialcsmakeup.com/2015/06/updated-skincare-routinemario-badescu.html

My skin care routine has become one of my favorite parts of the day. It makes me feel good about myself to know that I am doing great things for my skin. My skincare staples are a good cleanser and a good moisturizer, all the other stuff is just extra. If you know you are doing good for your skin, you will feel more confident about letting it see the light of day.

Hydrate

I know you have heard this a million times, but water is key to beautiful skin. You skin needs hydration in order to be happy. Without the proper amount of hydration, your skin will begin to produce excess oil which, yep you guessed it, causes breakouts. We don't want those!

Snooze, you won't lose

Get enough sleep, sister! This will keep your natural skin from looking tired. Without sleep, you won't get that natural glow!

Find a good tinted moisturizer

My favorite! Sold at drug stores.

  • Not wearing foundation is something I did cold turkey. I found a good tinted moisturizer to give me minimal coverage. Tinted moisturizers are lightweight, feel great on the skin, and most of them have SPF benefits.

Confidence is where it begins

Now the above four tips are important, but nowhere near as important as this last tip. Find the confidence from within. Remember, you're beautiful just the way you are. Don't be afraid to let that natural skin beam!

Whenever you are feeling low and anxious, just simply GO OUTSIDE and embrace nature! According to a new research study published in Frontiers in Psychology, being connected to nature and physically touching animals and flowers enable children to be happier and altruistic in nature. Not only does nature exert a bountiful force on adults, but it also serves as a therapeutic antidote to children, especially during their developmental years.

If there's one thing I'm absolutely terrible at, it's giving myself grace. I'm easily my own worst critic in almost everything that I do. I'm a raging perfectionist, and I have unrealistic expectations for myself at times. I can remember simple errors I made years ago, and I still hold on to them. The biggest thing I'm trying to work on is giving myself grace. I've realized that when I don't give myself grace, I miss out on being human. Even more so, I've realized that in order to give grace to others, I need to learn how to give grace to myself, too. So often, we let perfection dominate our lives without even realizing it. I've decided to change that in my own life, and I hope you'll consider doing that, too. Grace begins with a simple awareness of who we are and who we're becoming. As you read through these five affirmations and ways to give yourself grace, I hope you'll take them in. Read them. Write them down. Think about them. Most of all, I hope you'll use them to encourage yourself and realize that you are never alone and you always have the power to change your story.

Were all teenagers and twenty-somethings bingeing the latest "To All The Boys: Always and Forever" last night with all of their friends on their basement TV? Nope? Just me? Oh, how I doubt that.

I have been excited for this movie ever since I saw the NYC skyline in the trailer that was released earlier this year. I'm a sucker for any movie or TV show that takes place in the Big Apple.

How Young Feminists Can Understand And Subvert The Internalized Male Gaze

Women's self-commodification, applied through oppression and permission, is an elusive yet sexist characteristic of a laissez-faire society, where women solely exist to be consumed. (P.S. justice for Megan Fox)

Within various theories of social science and visual media, academics present the male gaze as a nebulous idea during their headache-inducing meta-discussions. However, the internalized male gaze is a reality, which is present to most people who identify as women. As we mature, we experience realizations of the perpetual male gaze.
