Easy tips to make your skin glow
8 Easy tips to make your skin glow
Get at least 7 hours of sleep every night.
They don’t call it "beauty sleep" for nothing!
Unless your entourage includes a team of professional makeup artists, you
won’t get the healthy glow you’re looking for if you don’t get enough sleep (Frenchonly). That’s because sleep deprivation results in skin pigmentation which
causes dark circles under your eyes to appear.
Stay hydrated.
You
should drink between 1.5 and 2 litres of water every day to keep your skin
soft and radiant.
Avoid eating too much sugar.
A
sweet treat can wreak havoc on your waistline and on your skin. That’s because
sugar can make your skin age prematurely. In fact, foods that contain a high
glycemic index (white carbohydrates and sugary snacks) result in an
increased production of cortisol through glycation (French only) – a
reaction that weakens collagen production
Try "strobing"
Sweep a bit of brightening powder or cream
along your cheekbone, nose bridge, middle of your forehead, Cupid’s bow, middle
of your chin, above your eyebrow and on your eyebrow arch. For an extra touch
of brightness, add some to the inner corner of your eye and in the middle of
your eyelid.
Exfoliate your skin.
You should exfoliate your face once or twice a
week. Use a gentle scrub (with natural exfoliating ingredients such as apricot
kernel and make sure to avoid plastic microbeads!). An electric brush or
exfoliating mask will also get rid of dead and dry skin. Your complexion will
thank you.
Moisturize your skin.
To get healthy, glowing
skin, it’s crucial to keep your skin moisturized. This will help your skin
retain water and reinforce the cutaneous barrier.
Target problem areas.
Give your skin a good once-over to find its problem areas. Crow’s feet? Dark circles? Imperfections? Slightly sagging skin? Dull complexion? There’s sure to be a cream or a serum for that.
