Have you ever looked at someone’s glowing skin and wished for your skin to be like that too? Glowing, soft, and smooth skin almost feels like a distant dream now. With the current situation, it's hard to catch a break and take care of yourself so you find solace in knowing that you have makeup. Whenever you are about to go out, you’d apply makeup to the trouble areas, giving a temporary fix for something that has a permanent solution.

Changing Trends

Now that minimalism is trending, makeup techniques are also changing. Going down from a full face of full coverage foundation to gentle bb creams with the lightest amount of concealer, this makeup trend is encouraging people to go out with their bare skin and show it off proudly. But, what about people who don’t already have picture-perfect skin?

Worry not! Here are some of the best tips to help you get the glow back.

1. Hydrate the skin

Water regulates body function and also keeps our skin from drying out. However, when it comes to your skin, you shouldn’t solely rely on drinking water, so maybe consider investing in moisturizers. Over the period of 24 hours, your skin is bound to lose moisture and the only way you can trap it in is by creating a moisture barrier that keeps water from escaping. We promise this will leave you with soft and glowy skin.

2. Massage It Out

Recently, TikTok creators have released tons of videos on a skincare tool called "gua sha". This tool is said to slim the face and enhance the features - but this is not entirely correct. The gua sha massages the faces, resulting in an increase in blood circulation and draining of the lymphatic fluid that gets stored inside the facial tissues. However, you don’t need a fancy tool for massaging your face. Your hands will work just as fine.

3. Get a Vitamin C Serum

Vitamin C serum has definitely become one of the must-haves, all because of its anti-aging properties, and the fact that it can reverse sun damage. Spending time in the sun can create sunspots, giving your skin a dull look. But, with the help of a vitamin C serum, you can rejuvenate your skin.
