Break up with Your Makeup + Sweepstakes

Thank you Galderma Laboratories, L.P., the makers of Soolantra® (ivermectin) Cream, 1%, Oracea® (doxycycline, USP) 40 mg* Capsules, and Mirvaso® (brimonidine) Gel, 0.33%**, for sponsoring this post. Vote for your favorite no-makeup selfies here to enter into Galderma’s “Break Up with Your Makeup” sweepstakes for a chance to win one of three $500 gift cards.

 

What has your makeup done for you lately?  I’ve noticed that the older I get, the more makeup I wear.  But why?  Piling makeup on actually has the opposite effect and makes me look older (and I’m at the age where I definitely don’t want to look older.)  I’ve been guilty myself of trying to mask all my imperfections, but today I am going to be confident in my own skin.  Hiding my skin under all that makeup doesn’t really help the matter; it only hurts it.  I want beautiful healthy skin just like everyone else.  Today, I am going to break up with my makeup.

Today I’m asking you to say goodbye to your concealer and makeup with me by joining the Break Up with Your Makeup campaign.  No matter whether you have rosacea or other skin issues, Galderma Laboratories, L.P. offers a variety of treatments  to help the underlying problem instead of just covering it up like makeup does.  Galderma has three different rosacea treatment options – Soolantra® (ivermectin) Cream, 1%, Oracea® (doxycycline, USP) 40mg* Capsules and Mirvaso® (brimonidine) Gel, 0.33%** – all which can help treat rosacea.  Every time I go to the lake or the pool, I have constantly worried about my makeup washing off exposing my rosy face.  But confidence comes from within, not from the outside.

Will you break up with your makeup?  P.S.  For a chance to win one of three $500 gift cards, make sure you enter the Break Up with Your Makeup Sweepstakes.  What is your biggest skin issue?  What makes you feel most confident?
