Ok, if I looked that good (aka had perfect skin), I would consider a no makeup monday, but I wasn't blessed like you Tracy. Perhaps I could do a no mascara monday (eek)? Baby steps?

haha I agree with you Anna. Def - baby steps. Maybe we can do a day where we eliminate one part of our makeup routine. For Anna - mascara. For me, it would probably be either eyeshadow or bronzer! If I don't wear concealer or foundation...it will look like I'm asleep!

Tracy - I think you look great! You're very lucky you can get away with no makeup. Anyway - I do think it's a good idea to give your skin a break from all the makeup... perhaps on the weekends? :) I also think it's good to do a mask/peel once a week to revive your skin! (It will help get rid of dead skin & clean your pores). I find that my skin is a lot smoother and shinier after I do that....normally on Sundays. Any other ideas?

So its been about a month, how did no makeup mondays go?  Did you stay dedicated or stray a bit? (I know I would)

I only strayed on Monday, but then I did a no makeup Tuesday and Friday that week to make up for it :)  It was totally fun and I didn't feel like anyone really noticed so I'm going to keep doing it :)

I do this, though not in any particular day of the week.  My hair colorist, also a cosmetologist, says your skin needs to "breathe" now & then and get a rest from all the products you use.  So if I'm not going to go out, like a day of housecleaning & laundry for example, I have bare skin.  If my skin feels a bit tight or dry, I use just a little serum.  But that's it.

Of course, with bare skin, I have no contact with the sun at all.  Even with the short walk to the laundry room, I walk in the shade.  And on a related topic, I stopped washing my face in the morning since I have dry skin.  That seemed to dry it out more, and besides my face isn't really dirty in the a.m. and I was mainly doing it to wake up.  So instead I splash a little water on my face, but I don't wash it.
