MOISTURISING FOR A
DEWY GLOW.
Hydrated skin means one that’s water-rich and glows from within, that’s why. Your skin needs to be constantly moisturized, regardless of its type. The best moisturizing ingredients, and the ones
Personally recommend, are glycerin, AHAS hyaluronic acids, and natural ingredients like oat, honey broma oils and cold-pressed seed and nut oils, such as almond, jojoba, and coconut oil

Personally recommend, are glycerin, AHAS hyaluronic acids, and natural ingredients like oat, honey broma oils (lavender, rose), and cold-pressed seed and nut oils, such as almond, jojoba, and coconut oil
Just using a moisturizer isn’t enough though.
For the best results
I recommend using it as follows

Ensure that your face/body is moist before you apply the moisturizer.
If using sunscreen, apply the moisturizer before applying the sunscreen.
When applying, use upward strokes as this improves absorption.
Regular exfoliation and microdermabrasion also help keep your skin looking fresh and increase moisture absorption.

ABOUT GETTING RID OF DARK CIRCLES
THE SECRET WEAPON.

Dark circles, as a condition, tend to be ignored, especially as they aren’t something you would get too worried about. At the same time, they make your skin look dull and tired, and cancel out all
The effort you’ve been taking to give your skin the necessary glow.
Before we get to the treatment though, let’s look at the causes, the most common being vitamin and iron deficiency, a hectic lifestyle, or even your genes. Once the cause is diagnosed, finding the cure becomes quite easy.
Usually, an under-eye moisturizer and sunscreen, containing vitamins c & k, is the best cure, followed by peptides and amino acids as they help stimulate collagen production. If the condition is more advanced though, such as the formation of eye bags, it may require more advanced intervention.

FACIAL DO THEY WORK?

If you’re getting ready for a night out with your gal pals or a family function, then facials or home remedies would be perfect as a quick fix. But for more long-term results, they are a bad
Idea. While facials can pep up your skin, help with the de-tanning and give it an instant glow, they don’t give lasting results or transform your skin at a deep, cellular level.
This is especially true when you cross 40, as your skin’s requirements change and it needs something that’s customized for its unique requirements.
