The Key To Amazing Skin Is... Never Washing Your Face?

We've all seen what it looks like when youdon't wash your makeup off for a month. (Trust us, nothing about this bad habit is pretty.) Going to bed withoutgiving our skin a thorough scrubis never an option for us, but gardener and florist Sara Wells prefers to do things her way.

"I have a rule: I don't wash my face," said Wells. "And to get my makeup off, I useapricot oil. I put it on a cotton ball and gently rub my mascara to remove it. Then, because I look like a giant mess, I have to do it again until it's all off."

Wells may not realize this but the apricotoilis, in fact, cleansing. The hydratingoil breaks down dirt and debrisand makes wiping away build-up so much easier. No wonder her skin is positively glowing!
