Look Effortlessly Luscious with these 7 Tips!
Protecting your skin and getting that healthy glow can be tricky especially after a harsh summer and winter just around the corner. The constant change in temperatures, exposure to dust and UV rays can cause damage and make your skin lackluster. Fret not, though, because we have the best skincare solutions which will have you looking good all year round.

Adopt a bedside skincare regimen
Too often we forget or avoid putting on a protective night cream or having a night skincare routine altogether just because we want to hit the sack quick. To make matters worse, we might even leave our makeup on overnight. It’s important to remember that a proper routine at night could be the key to having glowing skin. A night care routine allows your skin to rejuvenate and breathe. One of our pro-tips is to leave your skincare items on your bedside, possibly placing them in a pouch. This could include a night moisturizer, a lip balm and essential oils. This would be convenient enough for you to work on your skincare routine even after you’ve crawled into bed.

Add skin savers to your diet
Adding almonds, which is a good source of Vitamin E, to your breakfast could improve your complexion considerably. They also contain Omega 3s and reduce inflammation, which in turn prevents blotches and fine lines while promoting elasticity. Other skin saving foods include salmon, tuna and mixed berries. Remember to also hydrate and drink plenty of water during the rest of the day to plump and moisture your skin from the inside out.

Load up on Vitamin C
A detox can do wonders for your skin and one of the easiest ways of doing this is by consuming citrus fruit. Lemon supports your liver and kidneys and there’s a clear connection between healthy organs and healthy skin. Other foods that are rich in vitamin c are grapefruit, oranges, papaya and bell peppers.

Clear up your pores and dead skin regularly
Bubbling clay masks have been all the rage lately and it’s for a good reason. These masks are said to draw out dirt and excess oils from deep within your pores. Alternatively, you can occasionally steam your skin to release toxins and use a toner to gently clean your skin. To get rid of dead skin on your lips, face and neck, use a gently exfoliator. This will prevent flakiness and the buildup of dull, lifeless skin.

Go Bare
The best way to get your skin in its best shape is to wear less makeup or none at all. This will allow your skin to breathe and prevent the clogging of pores. We know it’s not always easy to go for a completely bare face, but you could opt for just the essentials on days when you don’t feel the need to apply a full face of makeup. Our essentials are mascara, a dab of concealer and a protective lipbalm with SPF.

Massage in your moisturizer
One of the best things that you can do for your skin is regularly massage it. We’re not talking about a quick 10 seconds of aggressively rubbing in creams and lotions, but rather giving your skin a gently massage in soothing circular motions and with just a gentle pressure. This simple trick will improve your blood circulation and keep your skin glowing.

Get some rest
“You look tired.” We’ve all heard it, and frankly while it can be frustrating at times it is often the truth. A look of sleep can result in puffiness and eyebags while preventing your skin from repairing and rejuvenating itself. Make sure you get seven to eight hours of sleep and you’re sure to get rid of puffiness and unde- eye bags. Sleep offers your skin a solution that no magic potion can!
