Beauty Rest
First and foremost thing that can help you look beautiful without makeup is a good sleep. Eight hours of sound, uninterrupted sleep will eliminate any dark circles or puffiness under your eyes. Along with 8 hours of sleep, be sure to drink plenty of water and avoid sodas. And if you do wear makeup never sleep without removing it as your skin will become dull and unhealthy.

Cool…
Cool water, cooled moisturizer or simply a cool compress can really help in getting rid of dark circles and puffiness as well. Besides if you want to wake up in the morning or refresh during the day a splash of cool water can be a good way of doing it.
Skin care
Exfoliate and moisturize to look beautiful without makeup so that your skin can glow and radiate. For this to happen exfoliate your skin once a week and always use cleanser before applying moisturizer. Otherwise you may end up having clogged pores and dull skin. Wear moisturiser daily pick a quality one with SPF in it, and wear it every day even if it's cloudy or snowy, as UVA/UVB rays can still get you.

Remember a strict skin regime is the key to a healthy glow. Do not let your cleansing, toning and moisturising ritual go out of the window. Make sure you invest in a good moisturiser, and take your skin care regime seriously. A top tip here: always keep face wipes next to your bed for those lazy, weak moments!
Sunscreen
Sunscreen should be worn everyday in summer and winter, with or without makeup as it will help keep your skin in great condition as well. As the harsh environmental impact, especially from the sun on our skin makes it appear old. It is also a good idea to wear sunglasses in summer and winter to avoid tiny wrinkles around your eyes.
Beautiful brows
To look beautiful without makeup your facial features should be well cared for. Having perfectly shaped brows can do wonders for your face by framing your eyes, therefore making them the centre of attention. If you don’t like the colour or intensity of your eyebrows you may dye them with a special dye in the salon. Also using curler just to give shape to your eyelashes is not a crime.

Healthy inside and out
"You are what you eat" is a phrase we are all too familiar with but we shouldn't be blasé about it. Avoid greasy, fried, processed food and late night pizzas and stock up on your five pieces of fruit and vegetables a day. Also, did you know red peppers have more vitamin C than oranges and a lot less sugar and carbs? Be careful with your choices and you'll be glowing on the outside in no time! Get some exercise and stay fit. Remember, beauty comes from head to toe.
Drink Water
That’s right drink water to keep your skin moisturized, clear and smooth. Not only celebrities think water can keep your young and beautiful but experts also recommend drinking clean water every day to remove toxins from the organism. Remember to drink at least 5-8 glasses (or 1 and a half liters) of water. This improves the shadows and circles around your eyes.

Shampoo your hair every other day
If your hair gets greasy really easily - you can ignore this. Otherwise, your hair doesn't need to be shampooed daily. Keep your hair nicely conditioned, using a grape-sized dollop of conditioner applied to your roots and pony-tail area daily. For extra shine, smoothness, and softness, rinse with cool water. Deep condition your hair a least once a week and make sure it's glossy and healthy by getting rid of the split ends every eight weeks.
Smile a lot!
Last and by no means least make sure your smile is bright. Do not neglect your teeth. A study recently showed that many of us are not even registered with a dentist! So get registered with yours, have regular checks and get your teeth cleaned regularly.
Also your lips should be smooth and healthy-looking, by no means must you rely on lipgloss or lipstick, as a hygienic lip balm will allow your inner beauty to shine through.
