You don’t need poreless, wrinkle-free skin to look radiant, but you do have to follow
a daily skincare routine that supports it beauty tools. That’s why we asked dermatologists,
estheticians, and beauty experts for their top tips on how to achieve that lit-from-
within glow.
Squeaky Clean
Aim for a cleansing ritual that leaves your skin optimally balanced. Your face gathers
up a mix of dirt, sweat and excess oil during the day (even if you don’t wear
makeup)—and these free radicals damage the good collagen in your skin. Washing
your face twice a day (morning and night) is essential to maintain that healthy glow.
Avoid harsh cleansers, which strip your face of its natural oils and lead to a dry
complexion. Instead, choose one that is gentle, hydrating and contains skin-loving
ingredients like alpha and beta hydroxy acids to slough away dullness and improve
sun-damaged skin; hyaluronic acid to boost hydration; and rose water and green tea
to calm redness. For an extra dose of glow, opt for a cleanser that also exfoliates for
added benefits. We recommend the radiance-boosting cleanser from luxury skin
care brand Auteur, which has been called “esthetician-grade” and used by many
celebrity clients.
Once your skin is clean, tone it with a non-alcoholic toner that doesn’t strip the
surface. Then follow with a serum that delivers targeted treatment to your
complexion. Serums are the heart of any glowing skincare regimen and can include
antioxidant-rich vitamins, peptides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide, among others,
all designed to address specific skin concerns such as fine lines, hyperpigmentation,
uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, etc. We recommend serums that contain vitamin
C, a potent anti-aging ingredient, and niacinamide, an effective brightening agent
that targets discoloration. You can find many of these types of serums and more at
Good Vibes.
Then lock in that glow by applying a moisturizing cream. The best moisturizers for
glowing skin contain hydrating ingredients, such as glycerin and moisture-locking
ceramides, as well as nourishing shea butter and niacinamide, both of which are
available at Good Vibes.
You’ll also want to apply a broad-spectrum SPF every morning and reapply it
regularly throughout the day. This is the single most important step for glowing,
luminous skin—not to mention preventing premature aging, skin cancer and other
serious health issues.
Once you’ve completed your daytime skin-care routine, it’s time to treat yourself to
a soothing mask. There are so many options on the market that you’re bound to find
one that suits your complexion and meets your specific needs. We love masks that
bubble up, turn colors, or peel off because they allow for more concentrated delivery
of ingredients to the skin—plus they’re super relaxing.
