beautiful skin is a result of our efforts and we do not need to spend a lot of money to visit a beauty salon. Here are the stories of 10 people who feel confident going out without foundation, and all the credit goes to them.
The first experiment:👩
A girl, she says, has always had skin problems, so she decided to change her care so that she could use a minimum of products for maximum effect. Here's what cosmetics she uses:
In the morning:
- moisturizing cleansing cream gel;
- SPF 50 PA+++ sunscreen.
In the evening:
- Garnier micellar water;
- serum with niacinamide (10%) and zinc (1%);
- Moisturizing cream.
Once a week: acid peeling (AHA 30% + BHA 2%).
Second experience👩
The difference between these photos is 4 years, and the only makeup on the girl's face is mascara. The girl says she has never used sunscreen before and started doing it exactly 4 years ago when the picture on the left was taken.
In the morning:
- Cleansing gel for normal to oily skin (CeraVe);
- Moisturizing cream with SPF 30;
- Vitamin C and peptide serum (Silk Naturals).

Seventh Experiment👩

In the evening:
- facial cleansing gel;
- Alternately: the 1st day - a peeling with 2% BHA acids (Paula's Choice), the 2nd day - a peeling with 10% AHA acids (Alpha Skincare);
- Moisturizing cream without alcohol or oils.
Once a week: clay mask (Aztec Clay), oil cleansing.
The eighth experiment👩
The difference between the photos is 45 days. The girl took a wellness course for her skin, and in 45 days of taking the pills there was a result. Of course, we do not recommend the use of any medication without a doctor's recommendation. But perhaps her example will inspire her to see a dermatologist and solve a problem that has been plaguing her for more than a year. Here are her daily treatments during and after treatment:
During treatment:
- In the morning - washing, applying moisturizing lotion (Cetaphil), Absorbica tablet (the drug fights blackheads that do not respond to other treatments, reduces sebum production);
- In the evening, demake-up with ultrasoft wipes, wash with moisturizing cleansing cream gel, apply moisturizing lotion, then a skin protector, dotting the face and lips (Aquaphor).
After treatment:
- In the morning, wash, moisturize with lotion with SPF 30 protection factor (CeraVe);
- In the evening - make-up with ultrasoft wipes (Cetaphil), wash with moisturizing cleansing cream-gel, apply moisturizing lotion.
Once a week: by prescription, Tretinoin 0.05% cream, which is designed to treat acne and rejuvenate the skin.
The ninth experiment👩
The difference between the photos is 2 weeks. The girl believes that the positive effect is due to the addition of safflower oil to her skin care products.
Products used:
- Gel or micellar water to cleanse the skin;
- Acne disks with salicylic acid (Stridex) or benzoyl peroxide;
- facial moisturizer (Hada Labo);
- occasional facial serum with honey extract (Scinic);
- masks: regenerating night mask and foil mask (Sulwhasoo);
- moisturizing cream;
- safflower oil;
- petroleum jelly.
The tenth experiment👩
According to the girl who posted the photo, this is the first time in her life she goes to work without foundation. And her face has only eyebrow lipstick, mascara and highlighter on it. She doesn't use sunscreen. She thinks her skin is soft precisely because she applies eye cream all over her face.
In the morning:
- Washing and de-makeup gel (Tarte);
- Face spray with aloe, herbs and rose water (Mario Badescu);
- Hyaluronic cream for the eye area (for the whole face);
- rosehip oil (gives the skin a glow).
In the evening:
- Makeup remover wipes (Neutrogena);
- rosehip oil;
- a non-scented moisturizing cream (Kiehl's).
The girl uses facial masks every few days, according to her, she just gets inexpensive ones at the supermarket and not any specific ones.
