Who doesn’t love flawless skin? When your skin glows, you look and feel happier and more beautiful. But radiant skin does not happen overnight – it takes work and time. Here are 5 steps to get gorgeous glowing skin:
1. Exfoliate
Most of us know that exfoliating your skin is important, but to achieve glowing skin, it is a must. Try exfoliators that contain alpha hydroxyl acids like glycolic acid.
2. Detox Your Body
There’s a saying that the outside of your body reflects what’s going on inside and it’s 100% true. Skin conditions develop when the skin can’t do its job of eliminating toxins efficiently, which happens because the other eliminative organs are overloaded as well. To take a load off your system you can drink warm lemon water, cut out sugar and alcohol, eat more fruits and veggies, and limit salty snacks.
3. Eat And Apply Antioxidants
Antioxidants help fight free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage. They can counter the damaging effects of the sun, reduce wrinkles and improve skin tone. Eat fruits and vegetables that contain antioxidants as well, so you get them internally and externally.
4. Try Coconut Oil
Virgin coconut oil has the ability to restore and rejuvenate damaged skin. It heals, repairs, and leaves your skin radiant. Coconut oil can also even out your skin tone, giving it a more healthy-looking texture and a subtle glow.
5. Use Radiance Boosting Makeup
Many celebrities use illuminating cream under their makeup for a “lit from within” look. Bronzers are also excellent for creating a healthy glow. Choose an illuminating shade rather than a matte one and apply where the sun would naturally hit your face: forehead, nose and cheeks.
