Effective Tips for Beautiful Glowing Skin
By Genevieve Cunningham
Glowing skin. We all want it. We want to look young and fresh and healthy. But getting that beautiful, sun-kissed, slightly glowing skin is hard. It seems so elusive, like something meant for everyone except for us. Is there any hope? Yes! If you're trying to improve the health and appearance of your skin, take a look at these tips that can really make a difference.
Dry Brushing
Dry brushing is exactly what it sounds like. You take a brush -- one that is intended specifically for the skin -- and scrub your body while it's completely dry. Some people claim that it needs to be done in a particular pattern in order to gain the full benefit. Others claim that it just needs to be done. A little internet research can probably get you pointed in the right direction. Either way, proponents of dry brushing claim that it helps clear the skin, remove dead skin, and encourage the lymphatic system to drain for a healthier body overall.
Moisturize
Moisturizer is one of the most important parts of a healthy skin routine. Without moisturizer, the skin will look dry and brittle. Moisturizer keeps the skin soft, supple, and glowing. Get into the habit of applying moisturizer in the morning and at night. Soon you won't be able to live without rubbing a little lotion into your skin on a regular basis.
Be Gentle
We're all a little too hard on our skin. We tend to use harsh chemicals in our face wash -- things that make the skin burn or tingle. We scrub it hard in order to remove dirt and dead skin. But the skin actually wants us to be gentle. The skin needs us to be gentle if we want it to last. Use gentle products and gentle routines. After your skin gets used to it, you'll never want to go back to your harsh ways again.
See a Professional
Sometimes the best course of action is to see a professional. If you're not satisfied with your skin, go see a professional. Ask for help. Ask for guidance. Get a plan! A dermatologist may be able to pinpoint your specific skin problems, help you develop healthy routines, and get your skin looking better than ever.
Beautiful skin is absolutely within your reach. And even if your skin isn't perfect, it can absolutely be improved. Use these tips to get that youthful glow, and enjoy feeling great in your skin from here on out.
