Get That Glow: The Low-Down On Achieving Healthy, Glowing Skin
June Javelosa
Try as you might, achieving that healthy skin glow isn’t something you can achieve with the perfect blend of foundation and highlighter. True, some products can melt beautifully into your skin so you can fake that dewy, radiant glow; but it still basically boils down to how good your base is—your skin.
The right products and patience to stick to a good skincare routine are essential. Here are some important things to consider:
1. Include facial massages in your daily routine
Using your fingers, place a dollop of product on your fingertips or a drop of oil directly on your face and gently massage your face. Make sure you move following an upward motion and that you’re using a light hand. The extra stimulation can help boost blood flow and add color to a complexion that’s looking a bit blah, adding radiance to your skin in the short term. In the long term, it can help firm and contour it.
Green Chemistry’s Daily Detox is an excellent cleansing cream that you can massage into your skin to cleanse, moisturize, and hydrate. Top with a serum like Alpha C or Phyto Flora for best results.
2. Get moving
Exercise is a great way to get that lit-from-within glow, not to mention it’s also great for your overall wellness. Depending on what you’re physically comfortable with, you can go all out with an intense cardio workout or take it easy with a leisurely walk. The important thing is to find a way to incorporate activity into your lifestyle.
3. Add vitamin C into your skincare lineup
Vitamin C is essential for glowing skin. We took great pains to create the ultimate combo for dehydrated and sun-damaged skin. We gave our Alpha C a beta carotene boost, over 50% linoleic acid critical to cell and tissue repair, and ingredients for antioxidant protection.
Use in the evening on clean skin to achieve that effortless dewy radiance.
4. Apply toner before serum
Toners are great for prepping and hydration, allowing serums to penetrate deeper into your skin. This is why the Phyto Glow toner is well known for delivering visible results, primarily when it’s used with our Night Light or Alpha C serum. It’s the ultimate brightening and anti-aging tonic infused with cucumber juice and fruit acids that draw out that elusive glow from within.
5. Give your foundation a boost
If you’re still waiting for your skincare ROI, here’s a quick fix—add a few drops of your preferred serum with your foundation. This will help thin out the pigment of the foundation and allow you to apply an even, sheer layer of coverage that looks more natural.
