When you decide to stop wearing makeup, your brain recognizes this ‘change in routine.’ A routine takes some time to be formed, so just as you made your routine to wear makeup, you can form your routine of not wearing makeup, however, do not expect this to magically happen overnight.

At the same time, you should know that it will take some time for your brain to reconstruct your new self-image. When you start to wear makeup less often, you begin to understand why it was so important to you in the first place?

You question whether you wore it for yourself or for others, then this realization helps your brain to readjust and accept your new self-image.

Daniel Sher, a clinical psychologist, claims that the basic law of behavioral psychology follows that the more frequently you are exposed to something that makes you uncomfortable, the easier it becomes.

A 2016 study presented at the American Psychological Association asked women to look at themselves in the mirror daily for two weeks without applying any makeup. Results showed that with time, they had become more self-confident and self-compassionate and there was a decrease in their overall discomfort and distress levels.

However, Sher believes that there is a greater contributing factor than repetition, “In my opinion, seeing oneself without makeup on repeatedly gives one a chance to challenge the message that we keep receiving on a cultural level—that you can only feel good about yourself if you look ‘presentable.’ ”

So in this way, we are not only changing the definition of beauty for ourselves but also that of our culture, which has been set in stone and fed into the brains of every adolescent growing up.

Makeup is not necessarily harmful to your skin, but an extensive break can prove to be beneficial for it. It could help your skin clear up by providing your pores with some breathing room and could also help you identify what your skin genuinely requires perhaps you realize that your skin is not as dry or oily as you thought.

Foremostly, it will help you identify what is good about your face because if science has taught us anything, it is that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
