I'm not too sure why I received a Fitness magazine in the mail, but as usual I scanned it for any and all beauty tips or tricks or useful articles to share with you all. Lucky me, I found something I thought might be helpful especially for everyone battling the heat like I am!

Fresh Face
If you're like the almost two-thirds of women who never leave home without makeup, according to a U.K. survey, here's why it's better to go bare one of two days a week.

Banish blemishes. Your face will be less breakout prone if you take a hiatus from makeup, especially when exercising, says Brooke Jackson, M.D., dermatologist and founder of the Skin Wellness Center of Chicago. "You want skin to be able to sweat freely so bacteria doesn't build up in pores."
Prevent fine lines. You won't be pulling or tugging your face, as you would during makeup application and removal, so you'll reduce the daily wear and tear on your skin,keeping it tauter over time, Dr. Jackson says.
Boost benefits. Skin treatments like acne fighters and anti-aging products work better on makeup-free skin. Cosmetics can dilute formulations and prevent them from penetrating.
