5 Skincare Essentials Everyone Needs for a Radiant Glow
Achieving radiant skin often feels like a mix of art and science, but what if the secret to your glow lies in some surprisingly unique and proven skincare hacks? Alongside your everyday essentials, here are some ProTips from the skincare community to take your glow to the next level.
1. A Hydrating Face Mist
A hydrating mist, like our Serene Hydrating Face Mist, is a refreshing essential to keep your skin plump and dewy. But did you know it can also work wonders for your pillow?
ProTip: Lightly mist your pillowcase before bed with your face mist. This keeps the fabric hydrated, reducing moisture loss from your skin as you sleep and leaving you with a morning glow.
2. A Protective Day Cream
Daily hydration and protection are non-negotiable, and the Radiance Day Veil provides both. But here’s a ProTip to make it even better.
ProTip: Mix a pinch of turmeric powder into your day cream. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory and brightening properties and gives your skin an extra radiance boost. Just be careful not to overdo it to avoid staining your skin.
3. A Rejuvenating Night Cream
A good night cream, like our Ethereal Night Crème, restores your skin overnight. But did you know you can hack your application with gravity?
ProTip: Sleep slightly elevated with an extra pillow under your head. This reduces fluid buildup in your face and helps your night cream absorb more effectively, giving you a firmer, less puffy look by morning.
4. An Eye Cream for Brightening and Firming
The GlowGaze Eye Cream soothes tired eyes and reduces puffiness, but a smart tip can amplify its effect.
ProTip: Dab your eye cream onto your under-eye area and follow with a light massage using a frozen spoon. The coolness helps de-puff, while the massage stimulates circulation and enhances absorption.
5. A Weekly Face Mask for Deep Treatment
The IllumiSheet Radiance Mask is perfect for deeply hydrating and brightening your skin. But there’s a surprising twist to level up your masking routine.
ProTip: Before applying your mask, rub a slice of raw potato on your face. Potatoes are rich in enzymes that gently exfoliate and brighten skin, prepping it perfectly for your mask to work its magic.
Bonus ProTips from the Skincare Community
Snail Mucin Love: While it may sound unconventional, snail mucin is packed with skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycolic acid. Products with this ingredient can dramatically improve hydration and skin texture.
Ice Water Dunk: After cleansing in the morning, dunk your face in a bowl of ice water for 10 seconds. This tightens your pores, reduces puffiness, and gives your skin an instant wake-up glow.
Rice Water Rinse: Save the water from rinsing rice and use it as a toner. Packed with antioxidants, rice water has brightening and anti-aging properties that have been celebrated for centuries.
Aloe Vera Overnight: Instead of rinsing aloe vera off immediately, leave a thin layer on your skin overnight. It hydrates, soothes, and promotes healing, making your skin feel soft and refreshed by morning.
Banana Peel Magic: After enjoying a banana, rub the inside of the peel on your face. It’s rich in vitamins and antioxidants that can help reduce acne scars and improve skin elasticity.
Radiant skin often comes from a mix of tried-and-true essentials and bold, unconventional experiments. Incorporating these ProTips into your routine alongside your skincare essentials might just give you the glow you’ve always dreamed of. Curious to try them out? Your skin might thank you!
