Why this worksAchieving a natural glow is all about proper hydration, exfoliation, and layering the right products. When your skin is well-hydrated, it reflects light better, while gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells that can dull your complexion. Using lightweight serums and moisturisers helps to lock in moisture, giving your skin that sought-after luminosity.

The ritual, step by step

  1. Hydrate with a serum Start with a hydrating serum, preferably one with hyaluronic acid. Apply a few drops onto damp skin to help attract moisture and plump up your complexion.
  2. Exfoliate regularly Incorporate a gentle exfoliant into your weekly routine, like a mild chemical exfoliant. This will help slough off dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, more radiant surface.
  3. Moisturise effectively Follow up with a lightweight moisturiser that fits your skin type. This seals in hydration and gives your skin a smooth, glowing finish.
  4. Use a dewy finish product For an extra boost, opt for a dewy finish setting spray or cream highlighter. These products can enhance your natural glow and add a bit of shine where you want it.

Where people go wrong

Over-exfoliating can strip your skin and lead to irritation, so keep it gentle and infrequent. Also, neglecting to hydrate properly can result in dullness — always layer your products on damp skin for best results. Lastly, choosing heavy moisturisers can weigh down your skin and diminish that glow.

The pro moveTry mixing your moisturiser with a few drops of facial oil for an added glow.
