If you’re a woman and you spend any time at all scrolling through social media, I can pretty much guarantee you have heard or seen some celebrity or some tutorial talking about how to make your skin GLOW. There are so many products out there that claim to help you achieve a summer glow. But what exactly does it mean?? And why do you need it? Or want it?
I just returned from an all-expenses paid trip to a beautiful beachfront resort in Los Cabos, Mexico. It was a free vacation with the hubs, so I packed up literally ALL of my makeup and had visions of spending extra time in the bathroom really doing the whole contour and eyebrows and eyelids – you know ALL of the beauty buzz words you see.
Guess what? I have no idea why I ever bother taking make up on vacation! Remember when you were a kid and you had time to lay out all day and spritz lemon juice in your hair, and you didn’t need all that makeup all over your face? THAT is GLOW.
And it’s the glow I had when I was in Mexico and didn’t need all that makeup chunked all over my face. And it was the glow I have when I’m in Disney World. And it’s the glow I have when I’m playing with my daughter outside in the summer.
But, what if I don’t have the time to spend all day outdoors because of life and work schedules? Guess what? I can STILL achieve that glow – that natural, sun-kissed glow. And I can do it without spending hours on my makeup. It starts with just two simple steps – Exfoliate and Moisturize.
That’s it! Two steps. So let’s start with our face and get prepped to create a natural, radiant glow.
Exfoliate
Step One is Exfoliate. But I’m not going to use just any exfoliator. I’m going to use one that is proven to BRIGHTEN my skin. Because if we want to set ourselves up to glow – we need to start with bright skin.
Enter the Anew Vitamin C Warming Peel.
This warming peel is a dual exfoliator infused with vitamin c flakes and natural seeds (you can actually SEE them!). When you apply it, these flakes and seeds work together to buff your skin, making it appear softer, smoother and brighter. But that’s not all! When it’s time to rinse this mask off, you activate it with water and it actually WARMS on your face – which opens your pores and removes impurities. Talk about a spa treatment!
To get a double brightening bang for summer – I follow up with the Anew Vitamin C Serum . This powerhouse packs 30 oranges into one bottle. But why do I need to put Vitamin C on my face?
Vitamin C is clinically proven to brighten skin and improve its appearance by increasing collagen production. Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body and it gives your body it’s structure. You produce less of it when you get older – so that translates into WRINKLES! Vitamin C helps increase collagen production to protect against wrinkles, but probably the first thing you will notice is a decrease in dark spots because it decreases hyperpigmentation and discoloration. This, in turn, makes your skin appear brighter and more luminous!! Just what you want this summer.
Moisturize
So now that you have exfoliated and treated your skin, it’s time for Step Number Two! And that’s moisturize!!
I love the Anew Hydrofusion Daily Beauty Defense with SPF 50 for a summer time moisturizer! This is a totally lightweight formula that packs in the power of sunscreen without the white residue! It is filled with powerful antioxidants that protect your skin from free radical damage. And don’t forget sun exposure!
Did you know? Your skin can still be exposed and unprotected from the harmful rays of the sun even if you aren’t outside? You can experience sun damage from sitting in a car or even behind the glass of an airplane. Many of us spend a ton of time in both of those places in the summer when we head off on our family summer vacations!
So that’s our face – and it’s all prepped for glow by exfoliating and moisturizing! But did you know, you can create a natural luminosity on your entire body using the same two simple steps?
Exfoliate AND Moisturize
I am in LOVE with the brand new Skin So Soft Radiant Glow Luminosity Polish because it does DOUBLE DUTY to create that natural summer glow.
I use this nearly every single night in the shower! I simply apply it after cleansing and rinse it off. It gently exfoliates AND moisturizes with four nourishing oils and Vitamin E.
Why do I need Vitamin E? Vitamin E has moisturizing AND healing benefits! It has anti-inflammatory benefits that soothe and calm your skin while hydrating. So this powerhouse is packing in both steps in ONE!!
A little Extra Shimmer
But if you really want to glow out and get compliments, give yourself a little extra shimmer with the Skin So Soft Radiant Glow Moisturizing Oil. This baby has FIVE moisturizing oils but the golden shimmer will give you an all over radiance on your shoulders, legs, back, and anywhere you want that extra luminosity. It reflects the light, drawing the eye away from any imperfections and gives you a natural glow that isn’t overpowering or glittery at all.
So that’s it! Just two steps to get your face completely prepped and ready to glow before you ever apply a single product to your skin. But, just in case you’re looking for that little extra glow to get you through the day, I’ve got you covered.
