How to Get Natural Glowy Skin – Without Using Makeup

Glowy skin has been all the craze – and for good reason! But aside from a good highlighter, you can actually achieve glowy skin in other ways that do not require a special makeup product. These things will make your skin naturally radiant.

Exercise

When you workout you get your blood pumping, heart rate up, and circulation going in your body. To give your exercise routine a boost, try something new like the 30 Days Challenge available on the 30 Day Fitness app. Remember to go makeup-free when you workout so you can get a proper sweat in and not have sweat being trapped by makeup. That post-workout glow is one of the best and the more you stay consistent with your exercise routine, you’ll see greater dewy skin results.

Juicing

Juicing is a great way to pack in nutrients in one tasty drink as well as remove toxins from the body. If you get a juicer for your home, you can save on pricy juices available in-store and play around with the combinations that you enjoy. Try adding carrots, papaya or mango to a juice so you can get the benefits from the carotene, which strengthens and gives your skin a boost.

Exfoliate

When you exfoliate, you get rid of the dead skin and buildup on your epidermis and give your face a smooth surface. For glowy skin, use a gentle exfoliator once or twice a week. It is important to discover the right exfoliator for your skin type, as some microfiber cloths work and others prefer chemical and natural exfoliators. 

You’ll find that your skincare products and makeup go on even smoother when you exfoliate regularly.

Amp up your skincare regimen

Your skin care regimen is crucial for glowing skin. After all, when your skin is lacking in hydration or feels out of whack, chances are it isn’t looking as glowy and radiant as you’d like it to. Consider your routine and where you could make some changes, as well as how your skin feels now. Common skin types are sensitive, dry, dehydrated, combination and oily. If your skin is feeling dehydrated for example, focus on repairing your skin barrier and replenishing your skin with proper hydration. It is all about finding the right ingredients, routine, and products that work best for you.

Eat clean and hydrate

What you put into your body can make a huge difference in how radiant your skin looks. Incorporate fresh produce and especially more leafy greens into your day-to-day nourishment and you will not only feel better, but your skin will look better. Proper hydration is also naturally very important for glowy and dewy skin. The recommended amount of water intake is eight 8-ounce glasses of water per day, though this can change depending on your body weight and lifestyle. Be sure to add an extra glass of water or hydrating fruit if you have caffeine or alcohol! 

By keeping up with these habits your skin will be superradiant and when you do choose to wear makeup, it will look even more glowy.
