The festive time of the year is just around the corner. It is time for celebrations, decorating and heart-warming love. This is a joyous time of the year, a time for family, friends, and great food and let’s not forget a break from work. At such a time, who doesn’t want that glowing dewy skin? Beautiful, youthful-looking skin which is universally appealing and especially now that you will be mingling with friends and family?
Everything begins with a good skincare routine. A good way to prep for your skin is right after the shower.
Here are some easy tips to help you achieve just that – glowing, dewy skin.
Step 1: Massage an ice roller or an ice cube covered in fine cloth all over your face and neck. This boosts blood circulation and also minimises the pores on the face.
Step 2: Apply some eye cream all around your eyes and a face moisturiser on your face and neck. Instead of rubbing it on, try pressing and patting it on the skin, this really helps the skin to absorb the product to the fullest.
*Pro Tip: For people with dry skin, can add a few drops of face oil to their moisturiser for an added boost of nourishment. If you have very oily skin, replace your face moisturiser with an oil-free lotion or a serum. Remember that makeup always applies and stays better on well-moisturised skin.
Step 3: In terms of foundation, there are a lot of variations you can do to it in order to achieve a dewy finish.
For people who do not require too much coverage – Mix the foundation and the moisturiser and use it as a BB cream.
Opt for a luminous foundation, and if you don’t have one, just mix some liquid/cream highlighter to your regular foundation, et voila, you have your very own luminous foundation! After applying foundation, remember to press powder only to the areas that require it, instead of the entire face. This way we maintain the glow that we have worked so far to achieve. It’s best to use translucent powder for this purpose as it has a very fine texture and looks skin-like after being applied.
Step 4: Once you are done with your makeup, remember to apply a highlighter to all the high points of your face like your cheekbones, cupids bow, bridge of your nose, collar bones and under the eyebrows. This is a key step in achieving a dewy finish skin.
Now that your skin has that lit-from-within glow, go ahead and take tons of selfies!
