How To Make Your Skin Glow According To Science
Nowadays, you can find hundreds of makeup products in beauty aisles to make your skin glow. Anything from highlighter to foundations and tinted moisturizers with light-reflecting particles can give you radiant-looking skin while concealing all the imperfections. While you can choose makeup products that help your skin look more luminous and dewier, you need to start by taking care of your skin because, first and foremost, you need your skin to be healthy. Healthy skin has a natural glow about it, and factors such as aging, sleep deprivation, and stress can make your skin look dull (via Good Housekeeping). Before you lose hope about not being able to get 8 hours of sleep every night (though it does immensely help your skin recover and rejuvenate), you can make some lifestyle changes to make your skin glow. Depending on the time of the year, your skin might be more dry, oily, or irritated, but making positive changes can turn the tables around. Dr. Tina Funt of Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York told Dermstore, “Glowing skin is skin that is moist and soft — not dull, dry or flaky.” She added a skin that truly glows has “small pores, even complexion and clear skin without blemishes.” It might sound impossible but trying these science-backed tips can add extra radiance to your skin and make you really glow all year round.
