Krzysztof Sowiński runs the well-known podcast “Na Werandie”, to which he invites various interlocutors. Topics related to faith, the Catholic religion and the gospel are discussed there. He also publishes fragments of recordings on TikTok. Recently he hosted Sister Ludmiła Świerczyna, an Ursuline nun.
The presenter and the nun talked, among others: about what everyday life in the order looks like – e.g. what sisters can do and what is forbidden, as well as the issue of having your own money or material goods, rules regarding wearing a habit, etc. During the conversation, a question was asked about makeup: Can nuns wear make-up?
Can your sister wear make-up? I could say I can. But imagine that there is nothing written about painting in any of our holy books, constitutions or rules, because no one would have expected that we would paint. So when someone asks me if I can wear make-up, it would seem that I can, because nowhere does it say that I can’t. But somehow… sisters don’t wear makeup
– replied the Ursuline nun.
The host joked that all nuns “have healthy skin.” – That’s also true, the interlocutor said with a smile. – This is a thought, mundane, but worth thinking about. Why do those who don’t wear make-up have healthy skin? – added the host.
“Whether you have healthy skin depends on its care”
The final conclusion from this exchange caused a lot of emotion among Internet users, who pointed out that the lack of makeup does not always automatically mean healthy skin. “Healthy skin is not only about makeup, FIRST OF ALL: diet, hormonal balance, proper care, general body homeostasis” – we read in one of the comments.
Whether you have healthy skin depends on skin care, hormone levels and nutrition, not on makeup
– another Internet user echoed.
Can a nun wear makeup? “Someone would get mad about it anyway”
“I don’t confirm, I don’t wear make-up and my skin is not healthy”, “And the conclusion that the host comes to has nothing to do with the truth but shows the male perspective on the subject”, “I also wear make-up and have a face like a 20-year-old” – they write others.
Isn’t it like a sister is supposed to be modest?
I wanted to join a convent, but just because I love makeup, I gave up. Because I know that someone would get upset about it anyway… modesty, etc
People used makeup in ancient times, so it’s not like no one expected it. Apparently it wasn’t that important to mention
But makeup is not a thing nowadays, although makeup used to be for people from higher classes
