Top 8 Beauty Tips for Brighter, Glowing Skin

If your appearance has been looking a bit tired lately, you may need a little magic. Make a few simple lifestyle changes and additions to your skincare routine and get that dewy skin in no time.

1. Wash your face twice a day with a gentle cleanser

Cleansing removes dirt, radicals, excess oil, and dead skin cells. It also preps your skin for the next steps in your skincare routine. The practice of cleansing should be a non-negotiable in your morning and nighttime skincare ritual. Remember, though, to restrict your cleansing to two times each day. Anything more than that may interfere with your skin's normal pH level and strip it of natural oils.

Consider a cleanser that contains glycolic acid to boost more than your cleansing efforts. The Glycolic Bright Glowing Daily Cleanser is a go-to product that contains the perfect amount of alpha hydroxy acids (AHA). This enables the product to exfoliate dullness and efficiently wash off all the impurities on your skin for a more radiant texture and complexion.

2. Eat healthily

No matter how many times you hear it, it will still ring true—you are what you eat. This is especially true for your skin, as skincare isn't just about the products you use. If what you put in your body isn't healthy, it can lead to blemishes. But if you eat fresh and healthy food, you can get closer to achieving that healthy glow. Some foods for glowing skin include broccoli, walnuts, avocados, and greens. 

A special mention: foods rich in vitamins C and E combined can help protect you from UV damage and the dark spots resulting from prolonged sun exposure. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that can provide extra protection for your skin. Meanwhile, vitamin E aids in skin cell reproduction.

3. Stay hydrated

Water is the trusted companion of your skin's natural barrier. When your barrier is deprived of water, your skin gets more prone to damage. As a rule of thumb, drink two to three liters daily. Your skin will not only glow but will also stay soft and supple when it is hydrated. 

4. Incorporate a serum into your skincare

That concentrated, rich-nutrient, and healing liquid—we all love a good serum! It can target specific skin problems and is arguably the best way to keep your skin flawless. An excellent solution for dark spots, the Glycolic Bright Instant Glowing Face Serum has an optimum 1% glycolic acid concentration. It evens out your skin tone and brightens your complexion.

5. Get sound sleep

Enough sleep promotes exfoliation and cell turnover. Apart from its health benefits, adequate sleep stimulate collagen production. Collagen, a skin protein, can give you that plump and youthful skin.

6. Moisturize in the morning and at night

How do you moisturize skin properly? Whether you have dry, oily, or combination skin, a moisturizer should always be a part of your daily skincare routine. Moisturizers can help keep your skin refreshed, and daily use promotes balanced oil production.

The Glycolic Bright Glowing Day Cream SPF 17 and Glycolic Bright Glowing Night Cream are jacks of all trades. The day cream is proven by experts to improve your skin's defense against the damaging rays of the sun. Powered by glycolic acid, it also reduces dark spots and corrects hyperpigmentation. Coupled with the night cream, even the deep ends of your pores are nourished.

7. Practice stress-relieving activities

Stress pimples are the common enemy. Researchers found that students experienced breakouts during their academic "hell week." Pressure from exams directly correlates with pimples, as cells that produce sebum are triggered by anxiety hormones.

The adverse effects of stress on the skin don't stop there. Burnouts may also negatively affect your skin's water retention. It slows down the skin's ability to repair itself and may eventually lead to wrinkles and inflammation.

If you feel swamped by your hectic schedule, scheduling time for activities that make you feel relaxed can lessen your anxiety. The golden rule is to maintain good lifestyle habits such as socializing, eating healthily, and avoiding harmful vices.

8. Exercise

Working out offers physical and emotional advantages, but it may also improve the appearance of your complexion. Your body promotes blood circulation and delivers oxygen and nutrients to your skin when you exercise. For starters, you can begin with 30 minutes of exercise daily. You can do whatever activity you want as long as it gets your heart rate up.
