Glow For It! Tips and Tricks for Making your Skin Look More Radiant

We all want to look like a glowing, radiant goddess! After all, radiant skin is healthy skin. But, it can be quite difficult to maintain such a dewy complexion – life often gets in the way of good skincare, and our skin barrier must fight so many pollutants daily. If you would love to protect and improve your skin’s natural sheen, read on for our best tips and tricks to make your skin look more radiant, below.

Exfoliate

Dead skin cells can build up over time, which is why we must exfoliate at least once a week! By exfoliating dead skin away with a gentle acid, you reveal the new radiant skin underneath. Our body is constantly producing collagen and elastin, which these new skin cells benefit from! Gentle acids such as salicylic or glycolic are kinder to your skin, compared to a scrub. Scrubs can cause tiny tears in the skin, which become inflamed and sore.

Moisturise

Protect your skin barrier by moisturising on a daily basis to maintain radiant and glowing skin! Moisturiser that has rich, quality ingredients such as natural oils or hyaluronic acid is a good choice to boost your glow in the long-term. Plant antioxidants are also good ingredients to look for, as they can purify andhydrate the skin all at once.

Cleanse

You might not notice it, but our skin barrier faces many pollutants, every day. We come home covered in dirt and grime, some of it invisible to the naked eye! Everything from UV rays to makeup can damage the skin if left too long, so make sure you always cleanse. We recommend using a gentle cleansing lotion and soft skin brush to free your skin of dirt and grime. Your skin should feel clean and fresh after every time you cleanse!

Prime before makeup

Priming your skin before applying makeup is an essential step for a glowing, radiant look. Iconic London offers a dewy and weightless Underglow Blurring Primer as part of their Dream Skin Duo, enriching and protecting your complexion. The dewier the primer, the better! The more primer mimics the natural lustre of your skin, the smoother your makeup will apply. You’ll look and feel great, the entire day.

Take Collagen Supplements

After the age of 20, our bodies produce 1% less collagen each year. The decrease in collagen production causes wrinkles, hair loss, and joint pain. Good thing there are collagen drinks and supplements that you can take to boost collagen levels. These supplements help increase skin’s elasticity, for a radiant and youthful glow. 

Incorporate Microcurrent Facials

Besides thinking about collagen supplements to keep your skin looking youthful, you can also achieve a brighter and firmer complexion with the help of microcurrent facial treatments. As we get older, our skin tends to lose its natural elasticity and firmness because our bodies produce less collagen over time. However, microcurrent facial treatments provide a non-invasive remedy to tackle these age-related issues, offering you a way to enjoy the microcurrent facial benefits.

Eat a balanced diet

Radiance, ultimately, starts from within. You need to eat your fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy, balanced diet in order to enhance your skin’s glow! Eating healthily means you’re consuming enough vitamins, minerals and live enzymes for your skin to rejuvenate and hydrate.

Drink water regularly

Moisturising your skin only works well if you also drink lots of water! Many of us forget to drink plenty of water during the day, and this leaves our skin feeling dry and irritated. Take sips of water regularly, even when you don’t feel very thirsty! Thirst isn’t always a reliable indicator of when you should and should not drink, so keep plenty of water to hand throughout the day.
