A survey in 2014 reported that women spend an average of 55 minutes every day<\/a> on their appearance. That’s 335 hours a\u00a0year! We can only imagine that this amount of time has grown since time-consuming techniques once reserved for professionals (contouring, strobing, baking, etc.) have become\u00a0commonplace.\r\n

The same study revealed that women worry more regularly about their appearance than their finances, health, relationships, and even professional success.<\/p>\r\nWith these kinds of findings, some women have chosen to forego makeup altogether. Video blogger and writer Tatiana Shabacon<\/a> shared her reasons for ditching product when she moved to Costa Rica.\r\n

“I forgot that the way that I looked without makeup is the way that I actually<\/em> looked.”<\/h3>\r\nWe asked Tatiana if there were any special occasions that caused social pressures against living makeup free: “I actually walked in a fashion show in the small town I’m living in, and nobody even asked me to put makeup on at all. All of the other girls were taking turns getting their makeup done. I expected I would have to, but I didn’t. It’s interesting because I spent years thinking makeup was expected of me. But in reality, no one really cares.”\r\n\r\nEven if you don’t want to give up makeup forever, there are plenty of benefits of taking a hiatus a few days a week. Daily foundation application can congest pores and cause dull and dehydrated skin, while thinner lashes can be attributed to constant coating and mascara removal<\/a>. Beauty blogger Jess agreed.\r\n\r\n
