Based on everything we’ve seen and fallen in love with in this season’s fashion shows, we know that the nude look has been rocked many times, and successfully so. As it turns out, it serves as an announcement for the beauty realm as well, as we can already see the shift in focus from heavy, pore-clogging makeup, to a lighter, more natural appearance.

Perhaps this is a reverberation of the health revolution taking the world by storm as we blog, but whatever it may be, it has allowed us a new glimpse into making the most of what Mother Nature has given us. If you’re new to the trend and eager to see how well you can rock it, too, let the following simple tips inspire your own skincare ritual and turn it into a look au naturel!

Scrub the dull away

Some see it as the holy grail of skincare, while others dread that it will somehow disrupt their skin’s radiance, while experts swear by it – in moderation. Exfoliation is a weekly ritual that will help you get rid of dirt and dead skin cell buildup, while allowing your pores to enjoy the goodness you apply afterwards. In other words, your skin will make the most of other skincare steps only with unclogged pores!

With that in mind, what about summer? Exposure to high temperatures, too much sun, and perhaps the salty waters of the sea can wreak havoc on your complexion, making it more prone to irritation. In that case, you can take a break from this part of your routine and use it only when you don’t spend too much time in the great outdoors. Also, this nude trend allows you to use many beauty hacks to simplify your life, so make your own coffee scrub at home and enjoy its many benefits for your skin!

Eat your way to beauty

If you ever needed the motivation to clean up your munchies, consider how your menu affects your complexion. We all have our weak spots, from chocolate ice-cream to waffles, the world is truly a sugar-laden paradise, but these snacks can overwhelm your skin beyond your wildest dreams.

That is why you should think healthy thoughts when you design your menu, and do your best to incorporate superfoods such as protein-rich spirulina, or antioxidant-packed fruits and veggies. They are all delicious and serve a great purpose in your quest for natural beauty, to keep your face pimple-free, and those premature wrinkles at bay.

Stick to essentials

Bare-faced is often misinterpreted as a complete lack of makeup. Yet, if you take a closer look at the fashion show beauties and the magazine covers, you’ll see that the nude look still allows, in fact, encourages, a touch of beautification with the help of the right essentials. They may be reserved for a special occasion or used daily, but they are meant to be minimalist in nature and empower your natural skin tone.

Sunscreen in the spotlight

Since summer is in full swing and we all know the consequences of poor skincare during the warm months of the year, let’s talk proper protection! Before you head to the beach or any of your city strolls in the sun, choose a sunscreen that will both keep your face safe as well as your entire body, thus preventing many issues that come with too much sun exposure.

However, this doesn’t mean that winters should be your excuse to leave the SPF out of your skincare regime, on the contrary. Always carry a bottle of your favorite sun protection lotion in your tote, and your skin will be forever grateful!

Nourishment comes first

In addition to your mighty diet and your immaculate hydration habits, your skin could use a boost of moisture on a regular basis simply due to all the environmental factors that can affect your beauty. Even if you live in a mild climate, regular sun exposure, winds, temperature changes, and even pollution all play their part in damaging your look.

For that reason, you should consider adding a moisturizer to your routine that you can use every day. Summers crave a lighter touch of cooling, hydrating gels, while winters are perfect for a richer, creamy texture, so keep them handy depending on your seasonal needs!
