Glow Get ‘em

Spring, summer, winter, fall, who is the most radiant of them all? Let’s be honest, is there a time of year when we don’t strive for luminosity in our skin? Here’s how to achieve that effortless ‘I woke-up like this’ kind of fresh-faced glow, just in time for the upcoming festive season.

A good facial scrub used correctly has a tremendous impact on the texture of the skin. Dead skin cells can build upon the skin’s surface, giving a dull appearance. Sukin’s Super Greens Detoxifying Facial Scrub (AED54 Life Pharmacy) is like a green juice cleanse for the face; packed with an all natural blend of kale, parsley and spirulina, itisthe easiest detox cleanse you’ll ever do!

Rodial Vitamin C Brightening Pads (AED282, Bloomingdales) are an excellent way to get your skin’s daily dose of Vitamin C and instantly boost radiance. With one swipe of one of these super concentrated vitamin pads, the gentle exfoliation process begins, evening skin tone and retexturing with the help of fruit and salicylic acid to leave your skin feeling fresh and looking regenerated.

For that ‘fresh from a country walk’ rosiness, we adore Ciaté’s blush pops (AED85, Beautysolutions-me.com). The handy orb-like shape allows for direct application to the apples of your cheeks and the creamy texture can be blended out for a natural looking glow. These nifty little pops of colour come in six different shades so there’s one to suit every skin colour.

A glowing complexion is not complete without a little shimmer and Flormar’s Highlighter Stick (AED40 Flormar Stores) is just the thing to give you that celestial, celeb-worthy finish. We adore the silky consistency that glides on smoothly and because it is a cream, won’t cake on the skin like powder highlighters can. There are three gorgeously flattering shades to choose from; simply swipe over cheekbones, brow bones and cupids bow then gently pat out to blend rather than rub, to achieve superior levels of luminescence.

If you need a face freshening pick-me-up, The Body Shop Rose Dewy Glow Face Mist, (AED42 The Body Shop) contains reflective particles, infused with raspberry and rose essence and French cherry water, which leaves skin feeling and looking refreshed and radiant.
