What happens to your face when you stop wearing make-up
不再化妆后你的脸会怎样？
For many of us, it's an ingrained part of our routine, up there with brushing our teeth and doing our hair. Make-up can disguise the fact you've been out late on a school night, it can help you feel perkier and ready to face the world. Not to mention it's also quite fun to apply.
对我们很多人来说，化妆是我们日常生活中雷打不动的一部分，就像刷牙和做头发一样重要。化妆能掩盖你上学还在外呆很晚的事实，能让你更自信，有更充足的准备面对这个世界。更别提化妆时的乐趣了。
Cosmetics have come on in leaps in bounds as well, with an increasing number of brands and items promising to be non-comedogenic, kinder to skin and eyes and easily removable. That said, there are some things to consider. The List has revealed some important benefits to adopting a more fresh-faced look once in a while - some which can in fact improve overall health.
化妆品也在跨越式的发展，越来越多的品牌和产品有望能不引发黑头、粉刺、更亲肤、亲眼，而且也更容易卸掉。也就是说，还有一些因素有待考虑。The List揭秘了偶尔素颜的重要益处——事实上，有些还能改善整体健康。
No more dry skin
皮肤不再干燥
This messes with our skin, especially on the occasions when we don't wash it off properly. "One of the most basic problems that occurs when you don't clean your face before bedtime is that natural skin sloughing, where dead skin is replaced with new cells, is impeded," dermatologist Dr. Rachel Nazarian told Marie Claire.
化妆会使我们的皮肤变差，尤其是没有洗干净的时候。“睡前脸没洗干净会导致一个最基本的问题：皮肤自然脱落（新细胞取代死皮）被阻止了，”皮肤科医生瑞秋·纳扎里安对《嘉人》杂志说道。
"Dead skin cells accumulate, leading to dull, dry skin." When we forego make-up, we allow our skin to form new cells, which gives us a more hydrated appearance.
“死皮细胞积聚，皮肤就会干燥、无光。”不化妆能使皮肤形成新细胞，让我们更加水润。
Wrinkle reduction
皱纹减少
Make-up may be the sort of thing we turn to make ourselves seem more youthful, but when it comes to wrinkles, it's actually counter-intuitive. Over time, make-up tends to settle into fine lines and wrinkles, which only serve to put a spotlight on them.
也许我们化妆是为了让自己看上去更年轻，但谈及皱纹，化妆却会带来相反的效果。随着时间的流逝，化妆品往往会适应细纹和皱纹，反而让细纹和皱纹更明显。
Pore reduction
毛孔变细
These tiny make-up particles, The List explains, build up in our pores each time we apply make-up. It may enhance our skin's appearance in a superficial level, but make-up actually interferes with our skin's natural cell renewal process.
The List解释道，每次化妆时，这些细小的化妆颗粒都会聚集在毛孔中。虽然表面看来，你的皮肤会变好，但实际上，化妆品会扰乱皮肤天然细胞的更新过程。
When you combine these with all the pollutants and dirt we're exposed to every day, our pores become clogged and enlarged. Ditching the slap once in a while, however, can help our pores appear smaller which in turn gives complexions a smoother finish.
当你将我们整天都接触的这些污染物和尘土结合在一起时，我们的毛孔就会堵塞、变大。然而，偶尔不化妆能够让我们的毛孔变细，从而让我们的皮肤更光滑。
Less spots
没那么多斑了
It's not just the toxins we apply layer upon layer of whenever we use make-up which cause breakouts, but also what lurks in our make-up brushes and sponges.
不仅化妆时涂的一层层毒素会致斑，而且潜伏在化妆刷和化妆棉内的细菌也会。
