Have you ever encountered a situation where you have an important event to attend tomorrow, but your skin is looking dull and dehydrated? At that time, all you want is access to some miraculous way to glow up in a day. Well, if not a miracle, here is a quick guide on improving your complexion and getting glowing skin to prep for your makeup by following a few steps:
1 Exfoliating the night before: This is important, as exfoliating with the right product will reveal an amazing glow in our skin. It is best to use a chemical exfoliator instead of harsh physical ones—AHAs like Lactic acid or BHAs like Salicylic acid. After exfoliating, you should moisturise with water-based cream or lotion. Actives like hyaluronic acid or Niacinamide work great after exfoliating.
2 Double Cleansing: Double cleansing is an amazing way to start a routine. The first product should be an oil cleanser, and the second one a water-based cleanser. This will make the skin clear and free of dirt.
3 Hydrating Toner: One of the best-kept Korean beauty secrets is using a hydrating toner. Applying 2-3 layers of toner alone will give you glowing skin if you have dry skin.
4 Vitamin C serum: One of the best ways to boost the glow of your skin is to add a Vitamin C Serum. You will see an immediate boost in your skin's glow. Incorporating a Vitamin C Serum in your daily skincare routine can give the skin a plumped-up and youthful glow. This is because Vitamin C helps to regenerate collagen in your skin.
5 Tinted moisturisers: A tinted moisturiser Is ideal to use when you want to glow up quickly. It looks wonderful under makeup or even alone. You can apply concealer on spots or under eye circles. And apply loose powder on the shiny areas, not the entire face.
These are the 5 simple steps to boost your skin's glow quickly whenever you have a special occasion. However, you need to select the products according to your skin. What may suit others may not suit your skin well. It is important to do some research and testing before using any skincare products. Also, to see visible results, you must use a skincare product for some time, and a miraculous change cannot be expected with one-time use. The steps I mentioned here can improve the skin's condition and help to revive the skin to create a better base for your makeup to sit. A daily skincare routine is very necessary to achieve a permanent result. Please do not get distracted by "immediate results" and "Insta-lifts" marketing claims.
