Glow skin is an emerging beauty trend that involves creating an intoxicatingly radiant glow using various cosmetic products.
Vitamin C helps brighten and even out skin tone to reduce dark spots and hyperpigmentation, providing soft silky skin feel without greasiness or greasiness. Meadowfoam seed oil XPR and daikon seed extract offer luxuriously silky skin feel without being oily; while black caviar extract enhances its firmness.
Hyaluronic acid
Hyaluronic acid is an important naturally-occurring compound that plays an instrumental role in keeping skin hydrated and appearing youthful and radiant. Found across all skin types, but especially beneficial to dry skin types as it can store up to 1,000 times its weight in water, acting as an incredible source of hydration.
Skin exfoliation also stimulates the production of new cells to create a brighter complexion while eliminating dead cells that cause dullness. Furthermore, exfoliation can prevent further signs of aging by strengthening the natural barrier and increasing collagen production.
Hyaluronic acid’s noncomedogenic nature means it won’t clog pores and is ideal for sensitive skin types. Hyaluronic acid can be used alone or combined with other skincare ingredients to achieve the best results, such as vitamin C to reduce dark circles under your eyes or combined with retinol to provide younger and brighter skin – no wonder many modern glow-boosting products incorporate it.
Alpha Hydroxy Acids
As we age, the rate at which our skin sheds dead cells slows significantly; that’s why incorporating chemical exfoliants (known as AHAs) into your skincare regimen is integral for maintaining an even and glowing complexion.
These natural and synthetic acids work by dissolving glue-like substances that bind skin cells together, allowing them to peel away more gently. They’re great additions to a glow skin care regimen as they lighten pigmentation, soften fine lines and wrinkles, promote new cell growth and lighten pigmentation spots.
Glycolic acid, lactic acid, mandelic acid, tartaric acid and gluconolactone are among the most frequently encountered AHAs. As they may increase sun sensitivity, it’s wise to wear sunscreen when using any product containing these ingredients. Since cosmetic manufacturers don’t need to list the concentration of such components on labels, a pH strip test before purchasing is a useful way of checking its concentration levels before buying products with these components.
Green tea
Green tea is an incredible superfood, packed with antioxidants and polyphenols to aid in collagen formation and provide protection from UV radiation. Plus, its potent sunblock effect makes it the perfect way to protect the skin.
Green tea’s main compounds, catechins, have long been recognized for their ability to protect against UV-induced DNA damage and thus help even out skin tone and prevent blemishes.
Drinking two cups of green tea each day can help your skin remain hydrated and prevent sun damage, but be sure to wear broad spectrum sunscreen when going outdoors.
Create an exfoliating scrub using green tea and lemon juice for an effective exfoliation, helping fade dark spots while giving your face a natural radiance. Or add lavender essential oil drops to warm green tea bath for soothing skin relaxation and sleep, essential ingredients to glowing skin! Or make homemade green tea and coconut body lotion to reduce inflammation and redness on the body.
Black caviar extract
Caviar may be something you enjoy sipping at fine restaurants or sharing as an expensive appetizer, but its luxurious ingredients have also found their way into skincare products. Packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that boost collagen production while decreasing fine lines – black caviar extract provides excellent nourishing benefits that reduce fine lines over time.
A product like this contains omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin D and calcium which all play an integral part in strengthening skin barriers, locking in moisture and providing healthier-looking skin. Furthermore, zinc supports fibroblast cells to stop them breaking down elastin and collagen proteins thereby protecting from breaking down altogether.
Luxury ingredients like Caviar Extract are readily available in products like MISSHA’s Roezen Black Caviar Skin Mask and SKIN79 Super+ Beblesh Balm VIP Gold, two excellent glow-enhancing BB creams which provide full coverage with a soft dewy finish and contain other nourishing components, including Niacinamide and Collagen for optimal use. You should pair these products with other skincare essentials like Retinol to reap maximum benefits from these luxurious ingredients.
