Having glowy skin is all about getting your skin to its healthiest. Health does take time, so being diligent with your skincare routine is important.  Every person’s skincare routine is different, so researching what best suits your skin is the best way to achieve the ‘glass skin’ look.

  • Look into including a double cleanser, using micellar water or oil-based cleanser to remove makeup and sunscreen, followed by a hydrating face wash to ensure your face is hydrated and clean.
  • Exfoliation is key to removing dead skin cells that can clog up pores, but it’s important not to overdo this and stick to two to three times a week.
  • Use a toner to help reset the pH of the skin; it will help the following steps in your skincare to absorb better into the skin.
  • Essence is a great way to incorporate hydration and support skin health. Essence is referred to as a water-based product with a high concentration of ingredients such as water, glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
  • Incorporating a lightweight serum that’s high in antioxidants will protect the skin from free radicals.
  • Layer on the moisturizer to leave your skin looking smooth and glowing.
  • Always use sunscreen in your skin routine to protect your skin and keep it at its healthiest.

If you are on a budget, there are some tips for achieving the glass skin look naturally without breaking the bank:

  • Eating more healthy fat. Upping healthy fats in your diet can help promote glowy, clear skin. Cold-water fish such as salmon or sardines are the perfect healthy fat due to their high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, which can reduce inflammation, and contain antioxidant vitamin E. Avocados are also beneficial for reducing inflammation as they include oleic acid.
  • Eating more fruit and vegetables. Vegetables such as carrots can help keep the skin safe from free radicals and have a high water content, which can flush out toxins and bring out a natural glow on the face. Papaya is good for skin brightening and contains an enzyme papain, which can help eliminate dark spots.
  • Drinking more water. Drinking more water keeps your body hydrated and helps maintain skin elasticity. ”
