Glowing skin is a sign of healthy skin. Consider these skincare tips to help your skin glow.
- 1. Wash your face regularly with a gentle facial cleanser. Washing your face is the first step to getting a glowing complexion. Washing twice a day with a gentle cleanser will help remove impurities and free radicals from the skin, helping dull skin look vibrant.
- 2. Exfoliate a couple of times a week at most. A face scrub will help remove dead skin cells and residue buildup that can clog the skin’s pores. Likewise, a chemical exfoliator containing glycolic acid strips away dead cells and can give your skin a lively glow. Use a face scrub two to three times weekly at most. Use a chemical exfoliator, such as a face peel, no more than once a week. Keep in mind that over-exfoliating reduces your natural skin barrier, so avoid exfoliating if your skin feels particularly dry or irritated.
- 3. Apply a facial toner. A toner hydrates your skin, allowing moisturizers and serums to penetrate deeper into your pores.
- 4. Use a vitamin C serum for brighter skin. As skin ages, collagen production dwindles, causing the skin to lose its elasticity. Vitamin C topicals help brighten your skin tone and a combination of topical and oral Vitamin C can help boost collagen production, potentially helping minimize wrinkles and fine lines. People with especially dry skin can benefit from layering a serum with a moisturizer.
- 5. Lather on a moisturizer. An oil-free moisturizer can help create a supple, dewy skin texture. Lather on moisturizer in a circular motion morning and night to replenish skin and give it a healthy glow.
