No matter what anyone says about the return of matte skin, the glow trend isn’t going anywhere. Over the past five years, sales of glowing skin products have increased by 202%, and the glass skin hashtag has reached more than 3.9 billion views on TikTok alone. People come not only to the cosmetic store to get a glow, but also to a beautician. Currently, one of the main trends in aesthetic cosmetology is smooth skin.
But you don’t need to go to the salon to get this effect. Just find out what causes your skin to become dull and how you can restore its natural radiance. Today the best methods will be discussed.
Regular, not daily, peeling
The key to glowing skin is regular exfoliation. But not daily. Peeling is a deep cleansing that our skin needs to breathe. By removing dead cell particles from its surface, we even out the tone, restore shine and facilitate the penetration of beneficial cosmetic ingredients. There are many peeling options: mechanical (scrubbing), hardware (ultrasound), and chemical (acids or enzymes). Among cosmetologists, the latter is considered the most gentle, but at the same time effective. Our favorite in this category is Icon Skin’s Vitamin C 15% Complex Acid Peel.
Three stages of skin care
The most important stages of skin care are cleansing, toning and moisturizing. This is the basic home care you need to start with. Moreover, all products should be chosen carefully, taking into account the needs of your skin. Here’s the minimum kit everyone should have: makeup remover (hydrophilic oil or micellar water), cleansing gel or foam, toner and moisturizer. You can add serum and night cream to it.
Facial massage to improve microcirculation
It seems like everyone has heard about the benefits of facial massage, but let us remind you. Dynamic pressure on the skin activates microcirculation in it – blood flows to the skin cells and the skin receives an increased flow of nutrition and oxygen. Therefore, after the massage, your face will shine and look more rested. Personally, we like to use a roller massager for this. Just put it in the freezer in the evening and in the morning you will have the ideal remedy to relieve puffiness and radiant skin.
Maintaining water balance
The water balance in the human body affects the functioning of all organs, including the skin. Its violation leads not only to dryness of the epidermis, but also to swelling. Therefore, you need to drink a sufficient amount of clean water every day – about two liters (but you need to calculate this individually by weight). If you have trouble controlling your fluid intake on your own, download an app that will track your body’s water level.
Sheet mask for instant effect
Perhaps the fastest way to get your skin glowing is to use a sheet mask. It starts working instantly and its effect lasts throughout the day. That’s why makeup artists like to let models sit in a mask or patch for 10-15 minutes before starting makeup. Autumn is the best time to use restoration products. As the skin is constantly exposed to dry air, the lipid barrier is damaged. Products containing ceramides, lipids and oils can restore it. For example, the For Me by Gold Apple mask is soaked in serum containing ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and oils.
Minimizing alcohol consumption
Alcohol does not directly affect the skin but does affect its moisture level. Additionally, alcohol triggers dehydration. The fluid leaves the cells and collects in the intercellular space, which is why swelling appears in the morning and the condition of the skin leaves much to be desired. It is better to minimize alcohol consumption during a period when the epidermis is already dehydrated.
Shiny effect foundation
You say, “Applying foundation to dry skin is a so-so idea.” Yes, it often highlights a thick cream peel, making it look unnatural. That’s why we prefer a foundation with a fluid texture. It is more liquid, spreads more easily and creates a second skin effect. One of our favorite products in this category is the Shakefoundation Vivienne Sabo Fluid Foundation. It leaves a soft glow on the skin and also ensures even tone.
highlighter
And where would we be without highlighter… You can use it in different ways depending on the effect you want to achieve – a stylish shine or “killer skin” on the cheekbones and bridge of the nose. We of course prefer the second option. To do this, add a pea of Simihaze liquid highlighter to the foundation, mix and apply to your face. A glowing skin is ready all day long!
