Make-up free and fabulous!

In recent years, there has been an emerging trend amongst younger celebrities. The trend, identified by iconic skincare brand Astral® loved by beauty influencers, involves a growing number of female celebrities removing the make-up in favour of embracing their skin’s natural beauty. Much of this movement has been motivated by a desire to encourage self-acceptance amongst their younger fanbase who feel under increasing pressure to conform to a certain “look”.

The benefits of going make-up free are both physical and mental says GP and dermatology specialist Dr Stephanie Gallard. “Leaving ourmake-up off can boost the skin’s health by allowing it to breathe and it will also reduce the risk of outbreaks and irritation which I often see caused by cosmetic products”, she explains. “Embracing a make-up free face can also enhance self-esteem as it encourages us to love our natural beauty and fosters a sense of self-acceptance. I would also add that it saves time in the morning!
