So you don't believe in showering, washing your face, using acne medication, or moisturizing lotion, right?

And the argument that we weren't born with clothes on doesn't pass muster either because I'd be perfectly fine with all of us running around naked if lust didn't exist, but the fact is, it does so we must wear body coverings for modesty's sake.
So can I assume you would be in favor of all of us wearing potato sacks for clothes, right?

It's simply a worldly, Satanic idea that a woman trying to go to that much trouble to look good for her man is such a great way to show that she cares for him. She should only be expected to be clean and have kempt hair - just like that's all men have to do. She shouldn't be expected to take forever to do her hair up in all sorts of elaborate styles or even not-so-elaborate ones that still take forever depending on her hair type, and to take forever putting on make-up and spending all sorts of money on same.
Women's hair doesn't have to be elaborately done up to be beautiful. Also worthy of note is that Scripture itself recognizes that long hair is preferable on women, while it is generally "a shame" for a man to wear long hair (1 Cor. 11).

It's ironic that men complain that women are being vain by taking forever to look nice for men, when that's exactly what men expect them to do in the first place.
As you yourself admit when you talk about "unkempt hair," I don't think it's wrong or necessarily vain for a woman to fix her hair up in order to look presentable.

I meant make-up shouldn't be a requirement. All else about skin that you stated is fine.
In response to your prior post, Jesus called hypocrites those who truly were hypocrites, and I was doing no different.
