3 steps to glowing skin... and why you need it Simple tips on how to shine

Every woman can have dewy, healthy looking skin and here’s how

when your skin is plumped up and smooth (with or without any wrinkles) and has a touch of illumination or highlighting, it will look fresh and youthful. You’ll glow. Plus, there’s an added bonus – the appearance of lines is diminished. What more could you ask for? So, if your skin is anything less than soft and lustrous, follow these steps and you will look and feel more radiant in no time.

Smooth and refine

If your skin appears dull or tired, chances are you have a build-up of old skin cells on the surface. Weekly use of an exfoliant helps to prevent this, but with age, your natural skin cell turnover and cell shedding slows down, and so helping to shift the dead cells is essential to achieving softer, smoother skin. Exfoliating also stimulates superficial blood circulation, which keeps skin well nourished from within. Check out these new gentle, but very effective, options.
