Glowing Skin Cheat Sheet — Do This Every Day for The Best Skin Ever

Get naturally glowing skin — without highlighters or Instagram filters! Use this tried and tested skincare routine consistently and your skin will look lit from within.

Broad-spectrum sunscreen

Sun exposure damages your moisture barrier, causes hyperpigmentation, and destroys collagen — which all make your skin look dull, dry and lifeless.

That’s why any skincare routine should include a good sunscreen. The SPF in foundation isn’t enough especially since you’ll only wear a very sheer layer of makeup. You need at least an SPF 30- broad spectrum sunscreen, and apply a generous dollop at least 30 minutes before going out. Be sure to apply behind your ears and your neck, too!

Beauty Insider recommends: Wellaholic Sunscreen. This broad-spectrum sunscreen shields you from UVA and UVB rays. It has SPF 40 and PA++ (which means it protects you from both sunburn and skin darkening and pigmentation).

Wellaholic Sunscreen is also paraben free, so it won’t irritate people with sensitive skin. And you can apply a lot without worrying that you’ll break out or feel greasy. It has a light, non-oily formula that absorbs quickly. You can even wear it under makeup!

Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser

Exfoliation can get slough off dead skin cells that make skin look rough and dull. However, avoid rough scrubs that can irritate the skin. Instead, use a gentle but effective cleanser that contains mild exfoliating ingredients.

Beauty Insider recommends LUMI Tundra AHA-BHA Cleansing Milk. The AHAs and BHAs break down dead skin cells, dirt and pollutants both on your skin and in your pores. Without any scrubbing or tugging, your skin becomes perfectly clean!

Lumi uses 100% natural, plant-derived ingredients. It won’t irritate your skin, even if you use it every day. “My old cleansers used to sting or make my skin feel really dry. But when I tried Lumi Cleansing Milk, I was surprised how my skin felt so clean but comfortable too. And it’s not drying at all — my skin actually feels softer after I use it!” says one beauty review.

Lumi Cleansing Milk is also one of the best cleansers for acne prone skin. It has willowbark (a gentle and natural source of salicylic acid) and an organic anti-acne complex made from acai, andiroba and balsam copaiba oils. Research proves that using this for 48 days can reduce acne by 42.9%.

Hydrating serum

Think of a balloon: when it’s smooth and plump, light reflects and makes it look bright and shiny. When the balloon becomes wrinkled and limp, even its colours look dull and heavy.

It’s the same with your skin surface. When your skin is dry, it has a cracked and rough texture that doesn’t reflect light very well. So if you want to have a natural glow, you need to keep your skin hydrated.

Beauty Insider recommends Celmonze Signature Hydro Marine Essence. It triples your skin’s hydration levels thanks to its potent mix of ingredients: Marine Plankton and Algae, and a special ingredient called Marine ATP Cellular Energizer. These all work together to add moisture and prevent moisture loss!

Marine plants are natural humectants, which means they attract and hold moisture. They also contain antioxidants and proteins that heal the skin barrier and strengthen skin cells. Celmonze’s patent ingredient, Marine ATP Cellular Energizer, is also very similar to the ATP that’s in your skin cells. ATP drives cell generation and growth. By applying Celmonze, you’re helping your skin renew itself.

Revitalizing Night Cream

Your skin heals itself best when you sleep. Take advantage of this natural healing process by applying your most powerful skincare products at night. This includes a very rich, revitalizing cream that goes deep into your skin surface to heal skin from within.

Beauty Insider recommends Dermalogica Sound Sleep Coccoon. This premium night cream is worth every single cent. Its powerful ingredients transform your skin overnight by optimizing night time recovery.

It contains tamarind seed extract, which nourishes and hydrates your skin. Persian Silk Tree Extract fight the signs of fatigue and stress, and Wu-Zhu-Yu Extract works overtime to make even dull skin look radiant and glowing.

Dermalogica Sound Sleep Coccoon also contains oils that promote deeper, restful sleep: lavender extract, sandalwood and patchouli. You can even download Dermalogica’s Sound Sleep app to help you fight insomnia and stress. Their official website also has a tutorial for a deep sleep massage. Rejuvenate at night, wake up with glowing skin in the morning!
