Why this worksA fresh glow comes from well-hydrated skin and the right products that boost luminosity. By focusing on exfoliation, hydration, and strategic application of light-reflecting products, you can achieve a radiant complexion. It’s about creating a healthy base that naturally reflects light.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Regularly Start with a gentle exfoliation 1-2 times a week to slough off dead skin cells. This reveals fresh skin underneath and helps your subsequent products absorb better, enhancing their effectiveness.
  2. Hydrate Your Skin Incorporate a good hydrating serum or moisturiser into your routine. Look for ingredients like hyaluronic acid or glycerin, which attract moisture and keep your skin plump and dewy throughout the day.
  3. Use a Radiance Primer Apply a radiance-boosting primer before your makeup. These primers often contain light-reflecting particles that create an instant glow and help your makeup stay fresh longer.
  4. Finish with Highlighter Apply a cream or liquid highlighter to the high points of your face like cheekbones and brow bones. This adds a touch of luminosity and enhances your skin’s natural glow.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliating, thinking it will irritate their skin, but gentle exfoliation is key to a fresh glow. Overloading on heavy products can also dull your skin instead of enhancing it. Plus, don’t forget to hydrate; dry skin won’t glow no matter what you apply.

The pro moveTry layering a hydrating mist throughout the day for an extra boost of glow.
