Go Makeup Free Once a Week to Delay Ageing

Most women can't imagine stepping out of the house without makeup, but avoiding it one day a week, can help in delaying the ageing process, suggests a skincare expert.

Rita Strazinska, founder of Bio2You Organic Seabuckthorn skincare, has urged women to go makeup free one day a week, for a minimum of 24 hours, to help protect the skin and allow it to rejuvenate without being weighed down by cosmetics, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"By opting to give skin a breather once a week, accompanied by a good skincare routine, women may find their self-confidence levels actually increase as they notice the condition of their skin improving, whilst the world has chance to appreciate their natural beauty," said Strazinska.

Following are the key reasons behind her tip:

A clearer complexion: No makeup can help in the reduction of spots, blemishes, and acne. Makeup can also irritate the skin, leading to redness and allergic reactions.

Go chemical-free: Most cosmetics have harmful chemicals like parabens, so it is wise to give skin a rest from such ingredients at times.
