Steps to achieve the glass skin effect in your daily routine
If you want to get beautiful skin with a rejuvenating glow to it and super juicy look, just like that fresh, healthy look after washing your face, all you need to do is persevere and keep to the following steps.
This look places emphasis on hydration above all, as the solution to ageing and any other skin problem. Our aim is to flaunt healthy, firm, shining skin, with the help of a number of makeup-free products.
Routine steps:
Double cleansing: the first step is deep cleansing of our skin. We have to get rid of all the dirt and impurities from our face, so that it looks as clear and radiant as possible. That is how we prepare our skin to improve the effectiveness of the products we apply after. You only need to find the right cleansers and makeup removers for your skin.
– Tonic: use a pH neutral tonic as this will improve absorption of the rest of our cosmetics, it will make our skin glow and make the texture and tone more uniform, as well as cleaning any deep down dirt from our skin.
– Peeling (once a week): it is worth doing a chemical exfoliation treatment using alpha, beta or polyhydroxy acids, that remove dead skin cells, prevent ageing and stimulate regeneration.Double hydration: this is a fundamental part of the routine.
– Apply eye cream, serum and moisturising cream, rich in active ingredients that retain moisture and increase moisture levels, such as hyaluronic acid or ceramides. We recommend using liquid products. Make sure they have a glow finish or ingredients that stimulate the luminosity of our skin.
– Use face oil: it enhances hydration and makes the skin on our face more elastic and silky.Sun cream always, every day of the year. This is the final step, mandatory in all beauty routines, to protect our skin from UV rays and other harmful aggressors for our skin that speed up ageing. Make sure it is a liquid, or contains active ingredients such as vitamin C or niacinamide, which evens out and brightens the skin on our faces.
