Secrets to Naturally Glowing Skin: Exfoliate, Hydrate, and Let Your Radiance Shine

Exfoliate the Right Way and Frequent

Healthy, radiant skin starts with proper exfoliation. Dead skin cells can make your complexion look dull and prevent skincare products from absorbing well.

For best results, look for a dual action facial scrub that includes both physical and chemical exfoliants.

Physical exfoliants such as rice powder, silica, or jojoba beads gently buff away surface buildup, leaving the skin smoother to the touch.

Chemical exfoliants like salicylic acid (great for oily or acne prone skin) and lactic acid (ideal for dry or sensitive skin) dissolve deeper impurities within pores.

Regular exfoliation not only reveals a fresh layer of skin but also helps your moisturizer and serums penetrate more effectively, locking in hydration and promoting that luminous, glass skin glow.

Tip: Exfoliate two to three times a week and always follow with a hydrating serum or moisturizer to protect your newly refreshed skin barrier.

Keep Your Post Vacation Glow

Coming back from a trip often leaves your skin bronzed and radiant, but that sun kissed look fades quickly without proper care.

• Lightly exfoliate every few days to remove dull surface cells while keeping your tan even.
• Use a tanning extender or glow booster lotion enriched with aloe vera or hyaluronic acid to preserve tone and hydration.
• Hydrate from within by drinking plenty of water; skin luminosity starts in the deeper layers.

Exfoliating does not remove your tan, it refines it. Keeping your skin smooth and moisturized helps color last longer and prevents the uneven fading or orange tint that can occur as dead cells accumulate.

Pro tip: Apply your glow enhancing lotion at night so it can fully absorb while you sleep.

Skip the Heavy Foundation

If your skin is already healthy, less is more. Thick foundation can mask your natural radiance and emphasize dryness or texture.

Instead, reach for:

• A lightweight tinted moisturizer or BB cream with SPF, which evens out tone and adds subtle luminosity.
• A pearl infused or dewy formula, which reflects light naturally.

For those with uneven tone, spot correct only where needed, such as around the nose or chin, and leave the rest of your skin bare. Let your real glow show through; it looks fresher, younger, and more confident.

Pro tip: Mix a drop of liquid highlighter into your moisturizer for a soft, radiant finish.

Embrace a Natural Bronze

A healthy bronze tone adds warmth and dimension, but the key is subtlety.

When choosing a bronzer:

• Always test shades directly on your cheek or jawline, not on your hand.
• Pick a tone one shade deeper than your natural skin color with a neutral undertone to ensure it blends seamlessly.
• Apply with a fluffy brush in a 3 shape motion along your forehead, cheekbones, and jawline for a naturally sun kissed effect.

Finish with a touch of cream highlighter on the high points of your face such as the cheekbones, nose bridge, and cupid’s bow for that effortless glow.

Pro tip: A light dusting of bronzer on your collarbones and shoulders ties the look together beautifully, especially in warm weather.
