" Hi Jess,  I&amp;#039;m in 10th grade and I was just reading about the Beauty Peace Day, and I would like to not wear makeup for a day but I&amp;#039;m self-conscious about my acne. Every day I only wear foundation and some blush, and if I don&amp;#039;t wear foundation then I feel disgusting and ugly because of my acne. I feel like people will make fun of me if I don&amp;#039;t wear any makeup. How can I learn to be comfortable with no makeup on?  \u2014Megan Hi Megan, I love that Beauty Peace Day has inspired you. I can understand how not wearing makeup feels like you are taking a big leap. And having acne can be a real pain. But when you use words like disgusting and ugly to describe how you feel about yourself when you don&amp;#039;t wear foundation, I need to ask: what actions can you take right now to begin treating yourself with loving kindness? See, making Body Peace isn&amp;#039;t about waiting until we have flawless skin. It&amp;#039;s about the here and now. And making peace with what you&amp;#039;ve got. That doesn&amp;#039;t mean it won&amp;#039;t bother you or that you can&amp;#039;t try to change it. It just means it won&amp;#039;t stop you from really challenging yourself or taking risks in your life. Lots of girls took us up on the &amp;quot;makeup-free&amp;quot; day and were scared to death about how they were going to feel. So many of them have reported back that once they got over the first 10 minutes of thinking about how they weren&amp;#039;t wearing any makeup they totally forgot about it the rest of the day. People didn&amp;#039;t seem to act any differently\u2014so much of our own belief about our beauty is in our minds. And most of our friends and loved ones see beyond our beauty and focus on our actions and behaviors, too. So my suggestion is to try going to school with less and less makeup on\u2014one step at a time\u2014until you eventually feel good going makeup free. Baby steps!
