MESSAGE

A thought about foundation:
urely, most of us have wondered how much easier our mornings would be if we didn’t have to apply any foundation when we’re busy getting ready. But the thought is stopped when a nagging voice says “But, but…I can’t go out like this!”

Since when did this conflict begin to pop up?
For years, I had faithfully done my makeup without questioning anything about it.

I was in my late 40s when I began to wonder about this.
Up until then––indeed, for most of my 30s––such thoughts wouldn’t ever cross my mind, and I would continue to apply toner, then lotion, cream, and foundation in my usual routine that no one had ever asked me to commit to.

When I cast my mind back even further, I don’t think I wore any makeup until I was in high school.

Although I’ve forgotten when I started doing makeup, darkening skin was completely unanticipated, followed by opening pores, being bothered by fine wrinkles, and then finally blemishes.

Is it my age?

Or maybe what I’m using?

Once you find yourself here, foundation has the tendency to become less of an aesthetic choice and more of a means to hide skin.
In other words, going out without makeup becomes embarrassing. I’m really glad that I was able to get to the bottom of these feelings in my 40s.

Please consider this fact: human skin is produced by cells found on the inside. And the dead skin cells on the surface are the oldest tissues. It makes sense since the newest tissues are produced from the inside.

This means that many of us are spending a lot of time and effort caring for this oldest layer of dead skin cells on the surface. Ever since realising this, I have been committed to exfoliating this thick layer and stimulating my skin metabolism.

Now, it’s normal for me not to use any foundation, every day.
Now, it’s normal for me not to use any foundation, every day.
Even so, people never notice when they see my skin. And I’m in my 60s!
