Flashforward to a few years ago, and I started breaking out with deep, painful zits, the scars of which still linger today. I would love nothing more than to go makeup free on Mondays (every day, really), and I am slowly reducing the makeup I wear as my scars heal, but I look back on those days and think, "why didn't I embrace the beautiful skin I had?"Scarlett Harris @ The Early Bird Catches the Wormhttp://earlybirdcatchestheworm.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-83399875921396558622011-09-28T21:02:40.140+10:002011-09-28T21:02:40.140+10:00I believe that the wallpapering of cosmetic ads in...I believe that the wallpapering of cosmetic ads in women's (and men's) magazines is a major contributor to the make-up addiction problem itself.<br /><br />I am glad that a major magazine like this is encouraging a make-up free day! Oh the irony!<br /><br />Personally, I no longer use any products on my skin. For a time in my life I was obsessed with checking out the latest skin care products. Now I let my skin breathe and I am grateful for the essentials of life such as clean food and water.<br /><br />N.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2042413869472011551.post-9893543200665860912011-09-25T15:54:10.627+10:002011-09-25T15:54:10.627+10:00Great post, can't believe Cleo had an article ...Great post, can't believe Cleo had an article actually worth reading! I participated in "Bloggers Without Makeup" last year (you can read it at http://footprintsaustralia.com/blog/?p=376), but despite the fact I don't wear much makeup, I still don't know if I'd be willing to go without it for a Monday at the office!

Personally, sounds like a great idea to me. You're their to learn, right? I like to go make up free 2 days a week. This is partially because I'm lazy, but my skin is loving me for it! I also feel a lot more comfortable around people, I think this is because I don't have to worry about my appearance as much because I know I probably look ill or something anyways, but meh.
