Bright, dewy skin signifies health. Good circulation of blood flow is key in achieving this fresh radiance.
Here are five ways to achieve a dewy complexion -
1) Stimulating ingredients
Use skincare products which contain stimulating ingredients to improve blood flow activity. Peppermint is strongly concentrated oil which energises and allows for more oxygen production.
Aloe Vera is rich with vitamins A, C and E. Its antibacterial properties work to reduce the overproduction of sebum which clogs pores, allowing your skin to breathe.
Ginseng and Niacinamide also aim to restore cellular energy and repair skin damage, giving you a bright glow.
2) Healthy diet
Maintaining a healthy diet is key for achieving a healthy glow. Food that is rich in vitamin C will nourish you inside and out, working to brighten your complexion.
“(Vitamin C is) a potent antioxidant that can neutralize free radicals. Vitamin C aids in your skin’s natural regeneration process, which helps your body repair damaged skin cells.”
Patricia Wexler – board-certified dermatologist.
So, what are you waiting for? Add oranges, broccoli, cauliflower and tomatoes to your shopping list to get an extra boost of vitamin c that regenerates your skin.
3) Facial exercises and massages
Regularly massaging the skin helps reduce puffiness and toxins. You can massage your own face either with a facial roller or with your own two hands!
‘For dry skin - massage in circular motions upward. Start at the base of the neck where your arteries are. Massage in gentle circles upwards, towards the jaw, up the sides of the face, and around the eyes. This will help coax nutrients into the tissue.
If you are prone to breakouts – you want to do the opposite motion and start on the top of the face by the eyes – this will draw the waste away. Lymphatic drainage massage can completely change the look of someone’s face and is a great under-the-radar skincare tip.’
Says renowned esthetician – Joanna Vargas.
Hanging your head upside down for 3 minutes a day also increases blood flow to the face and contributes to a glowing complexion.
Facial yoga is also a fun way to bring about more blood cells and oxygen to the skin. You can read more about facial yoga in our blog -
4) Exfoliate
Exfoliation is an effective way of ridding yourself of dead skin cells. It also encourages blood flow in the skin and works to unclog pores, leaving you with a fresh glow.
Though it is important to exfoliate regularly, make sure you do it no more than 5 times a week to avoid irritation.
5) Use a Moisturiser, Serum and Mist in your daily skin routine
