-TIPS ON HOW TO GET GLOWING SKIN
Cleanse regularly
Key to luminous skin: clearing your “canvas” by thoroughly removing debris like dirt, oil and pollution particles that can clog pores and cause dullness. Wash your face morning and night by massaging in a small dollop of face cleanser lightly with fingers in circular motions, working from the inside of the face out for full coverage.
Exfoliate your skin
One of the best ways to brighten skin and boost its glow both immediately and long term, is by exfoliating. This process removes the skin’s outer layer of dead cells so its surface is smoother and clearer and reflects light. Apply a physical exfoliant like a face scrub, two to three times per week or a chemical exfoliation like a face peel, once per week for sensitive or dry skin and three times maximum for other skin types.
Look for brightening skin care ingredients
In topical skin care treatments like serums and moisturizers, look out for terms such as “brightening” and “skin tone-evening,” and ingredients like vitamin C, an antioxidant that brightens skin by blocking an enzyme that produces pigment.
A major component and signal of healthy skin is a natural glow. But causes like lack of sleep, stress, age, and even what you eat can rob your complexion of its radiance. Transform skin that looks dull and tired to luminous and glowing skin.
Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate Lack of hydration makes your complexion dull and even accentuates wrinkles.
Apply a topical moisturizer morning and evening to replenish hydration. Testing shows that face lotions and creams are generally more hydrating than oils, serums, and other formulas. They’re emulsions
(blends of oil and water components) that carry hydrating ingredients into the skin’s top layers, helping it hold in moisture.
Use shimmery lotion to boost glow
Good news: You can also get a glow instantly. The new category of skin care and makeup hybrid products called
“glotions” combine the hydrating benefits of a moisturizer with the radiance-boosting effects of highlighters.
These formulas contain humectant ingredients, such as glycerine and hyaluronic acid, that draw moisture into skin to immediately make it appear plump and smooth. They are also mixed with finely milled minerals like mica that reflect light to give the skin an instant but subtle all over glow.
To apply, do as makeup artists do: Smooth one on as you would a face lotion before
OLAY makeup, wear alone SHIMMER
LOTION for a natural look or tap a dot on the high points of your face, such as the tops of your cheekbones and underneath the arches of your eyebrows, to get a touch of nomakeup radiance.
