Sans fond de teint pendant une semaine / i went one week without wearing foundation
19:05:00For 4 years and since i graduated highschool i have been hiding behind my foundation , i never got out of the house without it , it became a step similar to wearing clothes, As it made me feel more confident , it also slowly made me feel inscure about my skin and my acne, it was doing me more harm than good.
Last sunday i could really feel how my skin was tired and how my pores were clogged and THATS when i made my decision " tomorow im going out without it " im on my intern ship and im meeting new people everyday i knew it was going to be a challenge but my drive was stronger, i don't care about how people saw me or judged me, my skin needs to take a break and breathe.
it has been a week since my decision and im going to tell you all about it
Monday : waking and having one less thing to do in the morning was awesome but when it came to the point of me leaving the house and taking the tram to work it was a nightmare it felt like everybody was watching my every move and i couldn't do anything but look down it was horrible.
at noon i met my friends for lunch , they didn't notice anything different until i mentionned it , it was just the push that i needed , it made me realise that it's not that bit of a deal .
Tusday : that one less step in the morning was a blessing lol but i wore under eye concealer this time #guilty ,
i went on with my day as if nothing was different .
Wendnesday : by now i could see how much my face was feeling lighter , it was getting less oily .
Thursday: i woke up this day i felt a difference , my face was smoother , of course my acne was still there but something about the texture was changing it felt better, i was starting to regain my confidence , i had plans to go out that afternoon but i didn't think about foundation , it felt easier to go bare faced , i met a close friend, the first thing she said was " did you break out more ? " if this question came up 5 days ago i would've been so ashamed , but for some reason it didn't get to me this time i simply told her i wasn't wearing anything on my skin and went on with my day.
Friday : i woke up dressed classy held my head high and went out, i even saw my crush and i looked him right in the eyes :p
Saturday : lazy morning usually i don't go out on saturday so i don't wear make up therefor it was just another day but one of the perks of doing this is not having to take of all that make up at night , it was easier just taking eyeliner and mascara off
Sunday : we had a family meeting and guess what i didn' wear foundation and guess what i didn't give a bleep lol
The week is over , i feel liberated, i feel as if i was obligated to do a task that i didn't need , its amazing how much you can gain confidence from such simple experiences because confidence is not something we're born with , its something we learn and grow withing our self ...
