Wondering how to achieve a beautifully radiant skin glow without having to spend hours on your skin each week?
The good news is that skincare doesn’t have to be stressful or complicated in order to be effective. All you need are the following 12 tips from VouPre and your skin will soon look wonderfully luminescent!
1. Use an SPF Moisturizer Each Morning
With UV rays being primarily responsible for wrinkles, dark spots, sagging skin, and more, the most important thing that you can do for your skin is to keep it protected from the sun. If you often forget to apply SPF or simply don’t like how sunscreens feel on your skin, an SPF moisturizer could be the answer.
The VouPre Age Defense Cream SPF 30, for example, feels just like a regular moisturizer when applied to the skin. It’s lightweight and silky, meaning that it disappears into the skin quickly. Once there, not only does it provide moisture and antioxidants, but it will also shield your skin from sun damage for the next couple of hours.
2. Shop For Your Skin Type
It’s so easy to be tempted by clever marketing or lavish packaging when shopping for skincare. However, purchase products that aren’t suitable for your skin type and you’ll only make life much harder for yourself. The wrong products will exacerbate the skin concerns that you’re currently dealing with. This makes it so important to understand your skin type when buying new skincare products.
If you have dry skin, you’ll need rich moisturizing products, like the Revitalizing Night Cream. Meanwhile, if your skin type is oily, a rich cream will only cause clogged pores. For a radiant skin glow, you need a lighter, non-comedogenic routine that features products like the Advanced Soothing Cool Cream from our Collagen Cooling Set Limited Edition.
3. Cleanse Your Skin Twice a Day With Cool Water
There’s nothing wrong with keeping your skincare routine simple. However, one step that you should never skip is your twice-daily cleanse. Give this a miss and you’ll only end up suffering from free radical damage, which will soon lead to accelerated skin aging.
Again, pick a cleanser that’s designed for your skin type. Oily skin does well with a foaming cleanser, like the ClearSuds Foaming Purifier, while dry skin benefits from a moisturizing formula, like the VouPre Radiance Facial Cleanser. Either way, use cool, instead of hot, water when cleansing as hot water will only contribute to skin damage and dehydration.
4. Apply Your Skincare Products in the Correct Order
A minimal skincare routine can still be very effective…but only if you apply your products in the correct order. Getting this wrong will prevent some of your products from working in the way that they should, meaning that you won’t see the results that you were hoping for.
So, what’s the correct order? After cleansing, start with your thinnest and lightest product, such as a toner, before moving on to your serums and then finishing with your creams. Going from thin to thick ensures that your thicker products won’t block the thinner formulas from penetrating your skin.
5. Hydrate Constantly
If you’re hoping for a natural skin glow, keeping your skin hydrated is essential. Not only will moisture immediately leave your skin cells looking plumper and more luminescent, but this will also enable your skin cells to reflect light more efficiently, leaving your complexion brighter and bouncier.
The best way to hydrate your skin is with humectants, meaning moisture-binding ingredients. Reach for the Aqua Hydration Serum from VouPre and you’ll be able to saturate your skin with a multi-humectant blend.
Don’t forget to also keep your internal hydration levels topped up. If you aren’t drinking your eight glasses of water per day, your skin will struggle to glow, no matter how many skincare products you pamper it with!
6. Exfoliate Gently
If your skin has been looking dull and rough lately, it’s time to take a good look at your exfoliation regimen. Exfoliating is one of the best ways to brighten up the complexion and achieve a skin glow. If your exfoliator isn’t doing this for you, then you could be due for a change.
Ideally, you want an exfoliator that’s powerful enough to clear away that drab finish your skin has been sporting while also being gentle enough to be used a couple of times a week. This is where the VouPre Deep Renewal Facial Peel comes in. This exquisite blend will clear away the older skin cells that are dulling your complexion, leaving you with a gorgeous skin glow that anyone would be proud of!
7. Adjust Your Skincare With the Seasons
Once you’ve put together the perfect skincare routine for your skin, you may be tempted to follow this regimen day in and day out, all year round. If you live in the tropics and experience similar weather conditions throughout the year, there’s nothing wrong with this. However, if you live somewhere with distinct seasons, your skincare routine will need to change with each seasonal transition.
Don’t worry, this isn’t as stressful as it initially sounds! You won’t have to overhaul your entire routine – a few tweaks is all that’s needed! Since sebum production rises in the warmer weather, you’ll likely need a more powerful cleanser and exfoliator, along with lighter serums and creams. However, once sebum production slows down in the colder months, swap these out for a gentler cleanser and thicker creams.
8. Invest in Multifunctional Skincare Products
One way to keep your skincare routine short, sweet, and stress-free is to invest in multifunctional products. The SPF moisturizer that we mentioned earlier, for example, will save you from having to apply a separate sunscreen after moisturizing.
At Avinichi, we have several other multifunctional products worth familiarizing yourself with. Our Vita C Serum is one of the most popular. This high-performance solution is packed with vitamins and antioxidants that enable it to boost the complexion in a few different ways. From smoothing away the look of wrinkles to fading the appearance of dark spots, it’s definitely deserving of a place in your skincare arsenal if you’re trying to enhance your skin glow.
9. Bring Your Facial Skincare Routine Down to Your Décolletage
Ideally, you want every part of your skin to glow, not just your face. However, people often struggle to achieve this with their décolletage, meaning the neck and chest area. Why? Because they treat these areas as part of the body. What they don’t realize is that the skin here has more in common with the skin on the face, meaning that it will really benefit from all of the products that you apply to your face.
In addition to bringing your regular skincare routine down to cover your décolletage too, you may also want to consider treating yourself to a couple of products designed specifically for this area, just like the VouPre Derma Revive Neck Cream. This would be particularly advisable if you’re already noticing problems with your skin here, such as wrinkles and sagging.
10. Keep Your Phone Clean
How often does your phone come into contact with your skin each day? Chances are, that figure is pretty high. Now, think about the many different surfaces that your phone touches each day, as well as how much bacteria each of those surfaces contain. It’s hardly surprising that studies have found that the average phone contains ten times more bacteria than a toilet seat!
It goes without saying that you definitely don’t want all of that bacteria coming into contact with your face, yet this is exactly what happens each time you use your phone. The result? Congestion, breakouts, accelerated skin aging, and more.
To save yourself from this strife, keep your phone clean. Give it a wipe down a few times a day with a phone-friendly antibacterial wipe and you could see some big improvements in your skin.
11. Stay in Control of Your Stress Levels
Is stress a regular part of your life? If your answer is yes, then this means that your skin will also be suffering from all of that stress. Each time you feel stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol. In large amounts, this can be extremely detrimental to your skin, causing everything from dehydration to acne breakouts.
Keeping your stress levels low is important for your mental health, but this is something that could boost your skincare efforts too. Find some stress relievers that work well for you and turn to these whenever your stress levels begin to rise. Stay in control of your stress and anxiety and you’ll be rewarded with a radiant skin glow!
12. Don’t Underestimate the Power of Beauty Sleep
Want to wake up to a gorgeous skin glow each morning? It doesn’t matter how good your evening skincare routine may be – unless you’re also getting plenty of quality sleep, you’ll struggle to achieve that radiance.
Why? Because while you’re sleeping, your skin cells are regenerating and repairing daily damage. If your skin misses out on sleep, then it won’t be able to do this.
Ideally, you should be sleeping for around eight hours every night. This needs to be quality sleep, meaning that you shouldn’t find yourself waking up every couple of hours through the night. Your body needs to go through the full sleep cycle in order for your skin cells to work to their full potential while you snooze.
If you’d like to enhance the beautifying effects of sleeping, try applying the VouPre Aqua Melting Mask to your skin before bed. It’s an overnight mask that will leave your skin cells feeling supported as they go about their nightly duties. You’ll wake up with a beautifully radiant glow!
