Who doesn’t want glowing skin? Everyone wants their face to glow and to achieve that, we need to take good care of our skin! There are a lot of factors that could lead you to healthy and glowing skin. Don’t worry, even if you have acne, you can still get your face glowing! Like a vampire, if you are always out in the sun, you’ll definitely end up having dark skin. If you stay at home all day and cover up every chance you get, you’ll also end up fairer! So, since we definitely cannot avoid the sun, we need to make sure that our skin is taken care of. So it can retain its glow! Here are some Beauty Insider tips that’ll help you get your glow on! 

Exfoliate Your Skin

First up, exfoliating. If you want glowing skin, it is time to start exfoliating. What does exfoliating your skin do? Well, it can help get rid of all the dead skin cells laying on the surface of your skin. Thus, revealing newer layers of skin hiding underneath! Kind of like a snake shedding its skin. Only, we have to do it manually! Using either a physical or chemical exfoliant can make your dull and lacklustre skin shine with radiance again. If you don’t, the dead skin cells will just keep building up and make your skin look even duller. 

Vitamin C

If you haven’t already incorporated Vitamin C into your skincare routine, it’s about time you did. Vitamin C is known to have benefits that can help brighten up your complexion. Besides that, it is also an antioxidant that can help boost your skin and shield it from environmental aggressors. If you apply Vitamin C underneath your sunscreen, it can also help lighten dark spots and even out skin tones. Besides being an active ingredient that helps with brightening, you can usually find it in serums. Applying Vitamin C to your skin daily can also make your complexion brighter over time. 

Moisturising

Moisturising is also an important part of a skincare routine. It doesn’t matter what type of skin you have! Yes, even if you have oily skin, using a moisturiser is still necessary. Using a moisturiser has the benefit to help repair your skin’s barrier and helps prevent the loss of water. If you don’t use a moisturiser, you can end up drying out your skin. It’s also a good idea to apply moisturiser more than once as lack of hydration can cause your skin to look dull. Your skin needs to stay hydrated for it to achieve its glow! So, if you want glowing skin, use a moisturiser! There are several types of moisturiser and it’s important to choose the one suitable for your skin type too. 

Exercise

Honestly, this feels like the least favourite tip! But, it does help and has its benefits. Exercising just a few times a week can help improve the circulation of blood and thus, you can achieve that glowing skin! Depending on your daily schedule, you can work out anytime. You don’t have to go to the gym to exercise. There are plenty of at-home exercises that you can do! Even if you aren’t a big fan of exercising, you can always go for a walk outside. Remember, being healthy is also an important part of skincare. Keeping a healthy diet can also help, so maybe you want to look into that as well!

Hang Upside Down

Now, this is a super easy and super fun tip. Hang upside down! Now, do you know what happens when you hang upside down? Yes, all the blood rushes to your head and that is exactly what you want for glowing skin. If you do this for maybe 3 minutes a day, it may help you achieve a natural glow! Hanging upside down also helps bring more oxygen to your head so your glow will definitely come from the inside. The best part is you can multitask when doing this! Do it while watching tv or reading a book! If you can of course! But, try not to hang for too long!

Get Some Sleep

For all the night-owls out there, get some sleep! Sleep is an important factor in getting glowing skin. Not getting enough sleep tends to lead to several health problems including acne and dark circles. Getting enough sleep means that the production of collagen is stimulated. Collagen is actually a protein in your skin that can help provide your skin with strength! Thus, if you get around 7 to 8 hours of sleep, it can help you achieve glowing skin and make your skin look younger and plumper!

Sunscreen

Some people feel that unless you are visiting the beach, sunscreen is completely unnecessary. But the truth is, you need sunscreen even if you don’t leave your house at all! Sunscreen has the benefit to help shield your skin from harsh UV rays. Being exposed to the sun for too long can cause skin concerns such as fine lines, dullness, wrinkles and even cancer in some cases. Besides that, UV rays can cause your skin texture to become unsmooth and suck all your glow out. Applying sunscreen can help ensure that your skin is protected and sometimes even provide brightening effects. Thus, it helps in the process of achieving glowing skin!

Drink Water

Not only to your health but can help with your skin as well. Not only does it help your skin glow, but it also makes your skin soft and supple. Next time, instead of grabbing a coke when you’re thirsty, grab a glass of water!
