If you follow a good skin care regimen twice a day, are diligent about removing your makeup every night and go to sleep 'makeup free' at night for at least 8 hours, do you every so often let your skin breathe and not apply makeup the whole day?

I try to go without makeup on Sunday's. I do all of the above but I believe that overnight is not enough, you should have one full day that your skin can air out. 

girl, i do all the time that im off! it's great to let you skin relax from all that day to day makeup.

If you take good care of your skin and it looks good, then there is really no reason to wear a full face of makeup everyday. Pick and choose what you wear. Usually I just do mascara if anything at all

YES! Definitely let your face have some air (does that make sense?! Haha!) Well, your face needs room from your routinely foundation and concealer ritual. They need to be a part every so often so your skin can readjust to the basics.

I dont wear ANY makeup to work, their's no purpose, (well im a nurse) so i dont see anybody, or any potential "somebodies" lol, but any other time, i will have it on!

i always go to work without makeup...not because i cant wear any but because thats when i let my skin breathe...you shouldnt wear makeup all the time cuz it can clog your pores and you dont want that at all. but if you do have a job that does require you to wear makeup on a daily basis make sure that you remove all of it at night and have a great skin care routine otherwise you could face major breakout. if you don't have bad skin, there really isn't much need of all that makeup anyways. I think natural beauty is the best and you should should use makeup to only enhance your features.

Totally!!! That's what of the best things you can do for your skin :)
My skin rarely is without some kind of moisturizing cream though.. my fav is patchouli facial moisturizer... keeps my skin looking great! :)

I take off my makeup the second I get home. I'm so sensitive to foundation that I'll break out if I don't. I also don't wear much on weekends and use more on work days.

I let my skin breathe whenever I don't have anywhere to go. Sometimes I can even go for a week without makeup. I always take all of it off and wash my face very well at night.

I try to give at least one day a week make-up free. I usually do it on Sundays, as a I rarely have anywhere to go on Sundays.

Thanks for all your input ladies. It's great to read what habits other people have. I myself do wear makeup everyday and on any given day depending on what my schedule looks like I might not put anything on. However, like I stated on my original post I am very good about sticking to my skin care routine but every now and then I do hear it from my mother that I should let my skin breathe and this is why I wondered about other people's habits.

I let my skin breathe whenever I can, I usually don't put on makeup at all unless I'm going somewhere. Then if it's liquid instead of powder I try to take it off as soon as possible because I start feeling itchy as my face gets oily underneath the foundation

When i'm at home I am usually "au naturel" :) I am just with my husband and 10 month son so I have no need to get dolled up. I love makeup as much as the next girl, but also love my natural beauty <3 

Yes, I let my face breath on a daily basis. I only use makeup when I'm heading out and depending on what I'm doing and where I'm going it may just be only mascara and lipgloss or it maybe a full face of makeup.

I let my skin breathe on a daily basis. No special occasion I don't put on a full face makeup. Just concealer and a bit of a powder to go.

I second Breanna. Healthy skin is beautiful w/o makeup (or fun with makeup). I think one of the best things you can do on a regular basis, regardless of how often you wear makeup, is to gently exfoliate. I repeat: gently. Your skin is relieved of dead skin cells. That would be something like breathing.

Went to work today with a naked face! Haha it feels so nice to have a day to just let your skin breathe! Don't be afraid to go out with a naked face. Be confident in your own skin, you're beautiful and you don't need makeup to realize that! :)

I only wear make up when I go out to college or to see my friends or something, because I don't really see the point of wearing make up at home when you are around parents/siblings/guardians :) I always remove amy make up as soon as I come home from somewhere as long as I am not going out again. I like to let my skin breathe. And because I have dry skin foundation tends to make it even worse so its a relief when I get to take it off :)

Weekends in the day time are my usual makeup-free moments! Just use some SPF cream and curl my eyelashes and I'm out the door!
