Are you looking for tips to get that sun kissed glowy skin? Then this is for you, because we all want that shimmery look on our pictures!
In this chapter of Beauteen Routine, we will be introducing you the super easy ultimate guid to get that glowing look on your face and body, and to maintain healthy skin.
1. Make Sure to Cleans Your Face
Making sure to gently cleans your face 2 times a day sounds basic but is a really important step to achieve glowy skin. Cleansing has the ability to adjust the pH level of skin which is a crucial element in terms of keeping the skin hydrated.
Moreover, cleansing can remove the excessive dirt, dead skin cells, sweat, and more from your pores. This reduces the chances of getting breakouts and acne (Lankerani) which is a big part of having “glowy skin.” Because of course, we are aiming for that clear “clean girl” skin✨
2. Apply Sunscreen Thoroughly
Sunscreen is a absolute must especially in the summer times. Of course, it prevents you from getting sunburnt, but that’s not it. Sunscreen has a important role in having glowy skin as well. Sunscreen has a function to prevent the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) radiation by the skin.
The damages of ultraviolet radiation can lead to sunburns, but also skin cancer as well (University of Rochester Medical Center). And we do not want that. Adding on to that, sun damage is known to be a major cause of premature aging of the skin (Victorian Dermal Group).
Therefore, we should be applying sunscreen thoroughly and frequently (preferably every 2-3 hours since sunscreen can wear off easily).
3. Use Skincare with Vitamin C
You may have hear how vitamin C has brightening effects on your skin. In fact, yes! Vitamin is essential in maintaining the health of your skin. Even clinical studies have showed that the consistent use of vitamin C formulations have improved skin texture and appearance.
Adding on, Vitamin C is proven to be able to block the production of pigment which leads to the reduce in black spots. Moreover, vitamin C can also help control acne by managing the production of sebum oil(Neera Nathan, et. al).
Yes, Vitamin C is pretty incredible!! And if you don’t already have vitamin C products, you should definitely be purchasing them.
I highly recommend buying the VT Cosmetics’ CICA VITAL ESSENCE. I have been using this product for a long time and am really satisfied with it. It has a heavy but not sticky consistency. It instantly melts into your skin as soon as your apply. You will for sure enjoy the soft summery scent of yuzu as well🍋
I felt the change in my skin after about 1 week. It definitely helped brighten my skin and the pores felt smaller.
Overall, It is very affordable and consists of 100 ml. So, if you want that glowy moisturized watery look, then try it!
4. Drink Plenty of Water
Drinking water is the most basic thing we do to live. However, getting enough hydration also benefits your skin. Few of the benefits would include,
- Less wrinkles – water moisturizes your skin from inside causing your skin to be more elastic
- Helps reduce acne – water as a role of getting rid of toxins and your pores
- Balances pH levels – water can balance your skin pH levels and maintain a glowy skin
- Tightens pores – the better hydration you have, the better chance of reducing pore sizes and acne
This is the power of water! It literally costs nothing. And you all can start trying this tip from this moment! Try it if you don’t believe me!
5. Exfoliate Your Skin
Exfoliating your skin plays a huge role in getting the smooth and shiny body you are looking for. However, if you over-exfoliate or exfoliate wrongly, it can irritate your skin and may lead to dry skin overtime.
The right way to do it is to use gentle body scrubs or nets and softly scrub your skin. This should be done weekly and not too often to avoid skin damage. And not to forget, make sure to moisturize your skin after exfoliating using body lotion or oil.
6. Apply Face masks
I’m sure many of you already do this, but this is also an extra step that you could take to brighten your skin to maintain a moistened glowy look. Not only that face masks moisturizes your skin, but also helps in areas such as
- Reducing excess oils
- Makes your pores look better
- Helps prevent aging
- Taking impurities out
7. Eat Healthy
You might be thinking, “well why does simply eating healthy help your skin?” But it really does help promoting glowy healthy skin.
It is highly recommended to eat a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins. According to some researches, it is also recommended to have fish oil and eating less processed foods and fats. As said a while a go, hydration is also very important (Mayo Clinic).

8. Moisturize Your Skin Using Skincare Products
I’m pretty sure everyone here uses skincare products to maintain your skin. However, using skincare products consistently is very important. Adding onto that, it is essential to immediately moisturize your skin in scenes such as after taking a shower, or cleansing your face. If not, your skin can dry up and pores can open up ending up looking crusty and really dry overall.
Of course, knowing your best matched skincare is also crucial. Know what’s best for you, and don’t forget to stay moisturized!!
