How to get glowing skin

Our top tips on how to get your skin to glow naturally, all year round.
A glowing complexion is the ultimate aim when it comes to our skin. But looking radiant can be a challenge when lifestyle factors such as busy schedules, pollution, and UV threaten to dull our glow. Here we reveal our top tips for naturally glowing skin and the SkinCeuticals products that can help.

Step 1: Cleanse

Cleansing is an important step in your quest for glowing skin as it removes impurities such as pollution, debris and sebum from the pores – all of which can dull the complexion.

Gentle Cleanser has a creamy texture that removes impurities and makeup while leaving the skin feeling soft and comfortable, ideal for normal to dry skin. SkinCeuticals Gentle Cleanser has a cream texture that removes impurities and makeup while leaving the skin feeling soft and comfortable, ideal for normal to dry skin.

If you prefer gel cleansers, then SkinCeuticals Simply Clean is a great option. Not only does it cleanse the skin effectively and remove makeup, but it also refines skin texture with a gentle enzymatic exfoliating action, removes excess oil and calms the skin with botanical extracts. Simply Clean is ideal for normal to combination skin types. Your complexion should be left feeling fresh and clean but not tight.

Additionally, SkinCeuticals Simply Clean is clinically proven to help to boost your glow with a high-concentration dual-acid formula that accelerates cellular turnover.

If you wish to target blemishes while brightening the look of the skin, Skinceuticals Blemish + AGE Cleanser can help you achieve great results. It does this with a blend of salicylic, glycolic and lipo hydroxy acids that actively tighten the look of the pores, minimise blemishes and remove excess oil. Your skin should feel smooth and brightened after use.

Step 2: Tone

Adding a toner to your skincare routine can help to balance and refresh the skin after cleansing – not to mention help you achieve that glow. SkinCeuticals Equalizing Toner, for example, helps to restore the skin’s pH mantle while removing any makeup or debris that may have been left after cleansing. It also exfoliates dead skin cells away which allows brighter skin beneath to be revealed.

Step 3: A weekly face mask

A face mask makes a lovely addition to every skincare routine so why not incorporate one into a self-care Sunday or relaxing night in? SkinCeuticals’ Clarifying Clay Masque helps to lift glow-blocking impurities from the skin with a non-drying formula that combines high-quality earth clays, botanicals, minerals and hydroxy acids. Apply it once a week to promote a healthier-looking complexion.

Step 4: A hydrating serum

A serum is a really effective way of loading your skin with glow-boosting active ingredients that will protect and perfect the look of your skin throughout the day. Skinceuticals Retexturing Activator hydrates and exfoliates the skin with a formula enriched with refined urea complex, kombuchka (kombucha + black tea ferment) and hyaluronic acid, improving the look of surface lines and wrinkles and revealing a more radiant complexion. This is a great optiond perfect the look of your skin throughout the day. n if you find alpha-hydroxy acids and retinol too irritating for your skin but want to get similar resurfacing results.

2/3 Nights a week: An overnight treatment

Consider using an overnight treatment that actively promotes skin brightness in your routine 2/3 times a week. SkinCeuticals’ Glycolic 10 Renew Overnight is a lightweight solution that helps refine skin texture and improve the clarity of the complexion with 10% glycolic acid delivered at the optimal pH.
