from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit

Everyone wants to look beautiful, but make-up isn't always the answer. You can look beautiful without make-up! Here's a how-to article on looking beautiful without having to use make-up.

Steps

1. Shower and wash yourself daily. Having good hygiene is the first step to being beautiful. Make sure to wash yourself everyday with water and soap and use only shampoos and conditioners for your hair.
   
2. Moisturize your skin. Any type of body lotion should do. You can apply lotion during the mornings and before you go to bed at night.
   
3. Take good care of your facial skin. Don't freak out over acne, everybody gets pimples and it's perfectly normal. To prevent acne, use a gentle blemish wash.(These can be purchased at any drug stores.) Drinking plenty of water and eating right can also help prevent acne.
   
4. Use clear chap-stick. Stick to medicated or normal chapsticks, Don't use smackers or anything like that.
   
5. Wear appropriate modest clothing. Wear clothing that suits your skin tone and brings out your best features.
   
6. Keep your nails trim and clean. Nails can be left alone, trim and file though. Getting manicures may seem glamourous, but it isn't good for your nails at all.
   
7. Let your hair air dry. Blow drying is bad for your hair and can dry it out.
   
8. Keep your hair natural. Don't straighten or curl your hair because it harms your hair and people always look better with their natural look--even if they don't believe it.
   
9. Eat properly. Having good nutrition keeps your body and mind in good shape.
   

Tips

• People are always making themselves look fabulous with make-up and all, they don't realize that it causes more problems. Manicures can give you fungi problems around your nails and make-up can clog up pores. Just remember, you won't have those problems unless you choose to.
  
• If you shower, eat right and keep yourself healthy, you will look truly beautiful.
  

Warnings

• Certain shampoos and conditioners, as well as over-washing can dry or irritate the scalp. Look for products without sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, or petroleum products as these are less likely to dry and can be used with greater frequency.
