Let’s just take a moment to soak up what a glorious year it has been for natural beauty. Makeup-free selfies have absolutely OWNED the Internet as of late, with a surplus of celebrities embracing the urge to strip back their makeup and let their skin breathe. And we’re SO into it.

Check out our gallery to see our top picks for makeup-free selfies of 2018 (so far!).

Charlie’s Angels co-stars Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz shared a positively GLOWING post-workout selfie, proving their skin is *actual* goals. And quite frankly, exercise has never looked so good.

While we’re used to seeing singer Gwen Stefani sporting her signature red lip and winged eyeliner, her makeup-free selfie goes to show she looks just as stunning without makeup. Her clear, luminous-looking skin is next–level flawless.
