I don't want makeup accentuating the lines even more. I don't want to worry about make-up and running the washroom just because of that.
Feeling comfortable with no makeup ftw!!!...and interesting read in your minimalism link. I also like simple, comfortable, quality clothing that has a timeless look and is well made for longevity. I’m a fan of Jil Sander especially.



I use non-comedogenic makeup and mostly a 'no makeup look' regimen when I feel like it….and no makeup when I feel like that.
I think it’s more important to; take care of my skin with diet…lots of antioxidants, omega-3, good saturated fats etc etc…..and of course cocoa which contains epicatchin and catechin which protects skin from sun damage and improves circulation to skin cells….the use of a gentle cleanser, nontoxic moisturizers and nontoxic sunscreen daily….getting a therapeutic facial at least once a month and simply staying hydrated and getting enough sleep among other things. Thinking my skin is going to age no matter what but helping it in ways that can make it happen in way that I know I’ve cared well for it is enough for me. I don’t buy into what my mother, who taught me good skin care, calls the ‘hope in a jar’ that some older women can feel the need for. We age and I think that has a unique beauty to it in itself and more important to me is how well I develop my mind and character as i grow older.
