National No Makeup Day: 5 tips to help you feel more confident in your natural look
As actress Sophia Loren once said, “Beauty is how you feel inside, and it reflects in your eyes. It is not something physical.” National No Makeup Day is celebrated every year on April 26 by women all over the world. This special day was established in 2011 to help women feel strong and confident without makeup. It's important to remember that makeup is not necessary to feel beautiful. This day encourages people to embrace and celebrate natural beauty. Moreover, it also serves as a reminder that beauty comes in all shapes, sizes and skin tones.
The main notion is that by removing cosmetics, people concentrate on inherent attractiveness. It's also a great time to step away from our usual beauty rituals and give our skin some much-needed rest and relaxation. Makeup is an art and a fun method to enhance your features, but it should not be used to define your beauty. It can be intimidating to think about going makeup free, so we've put together some tips to help you become healthier and feel more confident in your own skin.

Here are 5 tips that will have a positive effect on your health and appearance.
1) Take care of yourself from the inside
Summertime means eating nutritious food. Consume food high in chlorophyll and water-rich fruits and vegetables such as watermelon. They include vital vitamins, nutrients, Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants that promote collagen development, reduce inflammation and protect your skin from sun damage. A healthy diet is more than enough to keep you healthy and glowing from the inside by giving your body all that it requires.
Drink plenty of water and keep a water bottle with you wherever you go. Aside from water, you can try cold green tea, coconut water or cucumber juice for a change. This is essential for keeping your skin moisturized, flushing toxins from your body and feeling rejuvenated on hot summer days.
It would be highly-beneficial to have a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables to keep your body hydrated and energized. To ensure that you stay healthy in summer, it is important to get adequate sleep and exercise regularly. Drinking a minimum of eight or more glasses of water helps keep wrinkles at bay.
2) Digital detox
Digital detox for your skin and mind is essential for a healthy lifestyle. Try to replace your online time with activities such as reading, mindfulness or outdoor activities. Finally, don't forget to treat yourself to a relaxing spa day! Put yourself first. Take a break from social media and do something else that interests you.
3) Don't stress out
"Me time" can help reset your mood and provide a sense of balance and perspective to life, leading to a more positive outlook. Stress can affect your mental and physical health. Being mindful of how you treat your body through exercise, healthy eating and taking care of yourself can also help to boost your self-image and emotional well-being. Your mental health and self-image are linked to how you feel about your body.
When you're down in the dumps, you may begin to see yourself differently. It is critical to make time for activities that will keep you motivated and happy. Consider what makes you feel peaceful and relaxed, from a bubble bath to petting your dog, and find time to do such things, especially if you feel overhwlemed. Take time to relax and unwind.
4) Yoga
Without inner peace, it is hard for anybody to keep it together. Yoga is very beneficial for your skin, hair, mind and body. Yoga helps to brighten your skin because it purifies the body. Yoga tones your muscles and reduces tension in the body too. A jade roller is a massage tool that has been used for centuries in Eastern culture. It helps to boost circulation and reduces puffiness in the face and neck while promoting lymphatic drainage. This can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, and it can help to give the skin a more refreshed, youthful look.
5) Optimism is key
While hard to practice daily, optimism is the key to a healthy life. Making positive changes and having a positive outlook can help improve your physical and mental wellbeing. It's important to take the time to appreciate the small things in life and to focus on the positive. When presented with difficulty, expect victory rather than defeat. Challenges inspire creativity. Instead of doing things the same way you've always done them, consider a novel approach to the problem. Who knows, you might come up with a solution that will benefit you and others in the future. Focus on the good things that are going on, for example, what you’ll be doing today, and take a breather when things get rough.
