Hacks For Achieving Healthier, Glowier Skin This Spring

Transform dull, dreary skin into a glowing complexion.

POSTED BY CONTRIBUTING AUTHOR

There’s no getting away from the fact that a major aspect of healthy skin is a natural glow. However, often we find that our skin looks dull and drab rather than healthy and glowing. A number of factors can lead to skin that lacks that healthy glow, including a lack of sleep, stress, age, and even your diet. 

With summer on the way - aka the time where we skin full foundation for a more natural makeup look - now more than ever it is vital that your skin looks as healthy as possible. The question is, of course, what does it take to transform dull, dreary skin into a glowing complexion? 

The good news is that it doesn’t have to be as difficult as you might think to achieve picture-perfect skin - it’s just a case of taking the right skincare steps, that’s all. Wondering what these are? 

Cleanse regularly 

The key to achieving luminous skin is taking care of your complexion by cleansing regularly. You can’t sleep in your makeup and expect to have a beautiful, glowing complexion. Just like the rest of your body requires care to stay in shape, so does your skin. If you want a complexion that glows, you need to make cleansing your first priority. 

Make sure to use a high-quality cleanser when you clean your skin and get into a cleansing routine - cleanse your skin each morning when you wake up and each evening before you go to bed. If you want to give your cleansing routine a boost, you could opt to invest in a sonic facial cleansing brush

Increase your nutrient intake 

Did you know that when it comes to your skin, your diet can have a huge impact on how healthy your complexion is? That’s why it is so important to try and stick to eating a clean, natural diet wherever possible that is high in vitamins and antioxidants. 

If through diet alone you cannot get the vitamins and nutrients that you need, you could consider taking skincare supplements - you can find a wide range available online to choose from. There’s also a growing body of research that says that cbd oil can help to aid healthier skin, so this could also be something that it is worth looking into if you’re serious about giving your skin a healthy boost. 

Don’t forget to exfoliate 

If you fail to remove the buildup of dead, dry skin cells from your face, it will impact how healthy your skin looks. When your skin is coated in older skin cells, this makes your complexion look dull, lacking that healthy glow. So it’s important to exfoliate your skin regularly - ideally you want to exfoliate between two and five times a week, depending on your skin’s requirements. Test out a few different products and see which works best for your skin. 

There you have it, a few useful tips and ideas for achieving a healthier, glowing complexion this spring, ready for summer and the days where foundation is replaced by a lighter, tinted moisturiser.
