If there is one thing that I absolutely adore is when I wake up from my mid-day nap and my skin is smooth, my cheeks are rosy and my face is so glowing, that I don’t even think about reaching out for my favorite BB cream. Sadly, as I can’t take naps every 2 hours, I had to find ways to achieve that gorgeous healthy look and keep it during the day. And I’ve found them (YAY)!
Today, I’ll share with you my tested-and-proven-to-work tricks that make my skin look dewy, radiant and fresh – anytime!
1. Face Mists
Miraculous potion in a bottle – this is what it is. Face mist are my favorite beauty item (after my 354 lip sticks/glosses/balms…you can never have enough…). What I love most about face mists is that they deliver immediate results (a very nice dewy look) and you can spritz them on your face anytime (even if you are
wearing makeup). Actually, some mists even fix makeup and help it stay longer.
Face mists are like water injection for your skin. Whenever you feel tightness and your skin looks dull, a nice cloud of tiny, almost microscopic drops, full of moisture is there to save the day. Visible results in a minute – what not to love about it?
What To Try: Rose Hydrating Mist
2. Get Yourself Moving
It may sound cliché but it works! When you sweat out a little you improve the blood flow to the skin surface which means more nutrients and oxygen for the cells. And happy, nourished cells just can’t “look bad”!
3. Regular Exfoliation
Did you know that in 30% of the time (maybe even 50%) your skin looks grey and lifeless, because it’s covered with a layer of dead cells. Doesn’t sound nice, does it? Removing the dead epidermal cells that accumulate daily is essential if you
want to have smooth skin surface and radiant, even complexion. Just make sure
not to overdo it – over-exfoliating can make your skin drier and more susceptible to infections and redness. Using a scrub two times a week is considered “safe & beneficial” though I’d suggest monitoring how your skin feels, so you can reduce or increase the number of exfoliations per week, if necessary.
What To Try: Jojoba Beds & Argan Oil Exfoliating Scrub
La Mav’s organic scrub is infused with Argan oil and Jojoba for a luxurious yet gentle bio-exfoliant that leaves the skin clean, toned and energized. Formulated with Jojoba and Oat extract to help fight inflammation, this scrub exfoliates and removes excess oil and impurities, providing a natural and glowing vitality to your skin.
4. Cream Cleansers
Have you ever tried using a cream cleanser? You won’t believe what a difference it makes! SLES free, with nice creamy texture, enriched with oils and moisturizing ingredients – the ultimate “impurities killer” that will leaves your skin super soft and fresh!
If you don’t like it after the first use, because it doesn’t leave your skin “squeaky clean”, let me tell you something – squeaky clean is not sexy! Trust me. “Squeaky clean” often leads to dehydrated, tight skin that looks absolutely lifeless several minutes after you’ve removed all dirt and makeup from it. And lifeless skin can’t be radiant, you know it.
What To Try: Hydra Calm Cleansing Cream
Winner of the Nature & Health 2012 Beauty Award, this gentle cleanser is designed for dry skin to wash away impurities, perspiration and pollutants, deeply hydrating and conditioning the skin. Formulated with Bio-Flavonoids, Jojoba Oil and Shea Butter to moisturize and cleanse the skin which will reveal a clear, bright, smooth surface.
5. Vitamin Boost
Having a balanced, rich diet is essential, because the way your skin looks depends directly on what you eat, but delivering a daily vitamin “cocktail” from an outside source is just as important. Vitamins like C, E and A not only protect your skin from free radicals, thanks to their antioxidant properties, but also improve skin’s clarity, its texture and its overall condition.
When I want to “vitaminize” my skin I always opt for serums – they are much more concentrated, compared to creams and lotions, which guarantees better results in less time (ain’t nobody got time to wait, right?).
At the present moment, my “hero” is vitamin C – it boosts collagen production, brightens the skin tone, minimizes dark spots and fine lines and gives my face a wonderful healthy glow. L-O-V-E it!
What To Try: Daily Vitamin C Brightening Serum
Formulated with Bearberry extract and Melissa officinalis extracts to promote healthy, glowing and evenly toned skin. This highly concentrated brightening Vitamin-C serum will improves your skin’s clarity and boosts radiance. Daily use will also help counter pigmentation while strengthening collagen and elastin for luminous and younger looking skin.
