“Wearing make-up can disrupt the skin and can be linked to dryness, oiliness and congestion,” says Dr Perry. “Not wearing make-up allows your skin to recover and rejuvenate, exactly as it does when we sleep.

“You might observe skin looking a little worse on the first day of not wearing make-up as the skin acclimatises and gets rid of toxins. You might also notice that the skin becomes oilier as it adjusts. Try to stick with it, as you’ll notice a real benefit around days five to seven, especially if you’re drinking plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated.

“If you suffer from skin conditions like rosacea or eczema, you’ll likely see a real benefit in not wearing make-up, this is because using and cleansing away multiple products can actually hinder the skin, making it more sensitive.”
