Beyond the highlighter: get flawless skin with these tips

Good face

The time has come to smile at the sun (good!). Say goodbye to that dull tone that your skin shows off with these essentials that cannot be missing from your cosmetic bag! We present your best face in 3, 2, 1 …

Exfoliate every week

The skin's cell renewal process slows down with age and needs a little help with exfoliation. Use a gentle scrub, with very fine granules and help yourself with a small loofah to promote microcirculation and carry away impurities.

Serums with micropaillettes

To the specific function of the serum (energizing, moisturizing or anti-aging) is added a glow touch (shine) for an illuminating action. How to use it? Before the cream, and you do not need to apply highlighter afterwards. You'll see how your skin glows when you put on the foundation!

Deflate your eyes

They are the first to betray tiredness. If you have a tendency to dark circles or bags, put a cold tea bag on the eyelids for 5 min. Bet on a roll-on eye contour to promote microcirculation in the area with the massage.

More light with vitamin C

Look for cosmetics that contain it because it is the brightening vitamin par excellence. You will also block the damage caused by pollution or UV rays.

Not without your antioxidants

In addition to vitamin C, look for formulas that contain various antioxidants such as resveratrol, vitamin A, coenzyme Q10, or selenium. Together they act as a team. When to use them? Before sun protection. Wait 5 min for the antioxidant serum or cream to penetrate so that it does not mix (and dilute) with the protector.

Get ready for the sun

If you want to show off an even tan, prepare your skin with a dietary supplement before exposing yourself to the first rays of the sun (at least 15 days before). You will strengthen the skin and improve its pigmentation. Of course, alert: It does not replace the protector. These supplements prepare the skin, but sunscreen is essential.

Strawberry lips

Juicy lips provide freshness to the face. Use balms to keep them hydrated, and when you paint them, do it in a rejuvenating shade of pink. Better if the bar adds a little shine.

Mary Kay 'Gel Semi-Shine' Shimmer Lipstick, € 19

Multipurpose shadows

A little bit of slightly pearly shadow in a very pale beige or pink tone under the arch of the eyebrow broadens the look. But you can get more out of it. Take note: On the cheeks, apply the shadow diagonally well blurred in the highest area of the cheekbone. By applying the blush underneath, the good face effect will multiply.

Makeup and highlighter

If you don't use an illuminating serum before your cream, another option from makeup artists to brighten the face is to add a drop of liquid highlighter to the foundation. How? Mix both in the palm of your hand and apply with small touches of the fingertips. You can also resort, of course, to an illuminating palette like this one.

LIGHT UP YOUR FACE

Say goodbye to that dull tone with these allies that, of course, cannot be missing from your toiletry bag:

Exfoliants Remove dead cells from your skin and make your complexion a smooth canvas on which light can be better reflected. Of course, always look for products that pamper your skin and that are not too aggressive.
Serums. In addition to being highly hydrating, they provide a touch of light.
Vitamin C. It is the brightener par excellence! Make it work to your advantage with creams and serums that contain it. Supplementation that helps you prepare your skin from within for sun exposure is also essential.
Stress out. It is one of the worst enemies of your skin, for that reason, if you join yoga, you will not only achieve greater body awareness and shape your curves, it will also show on your face! Your face will be more relaxed and will have another color.
Hydrated lips. Get juiciness with balms and products in which hydration is key.
Shadow here and shadow there. The same product can give us many joys. Go for a light pink shade and apply it to both the eyelid and the cheeks. Your face will automatically be 'happy' (and not just for the good news of optimizing your makeup and saving you a little money).
Makeup and highlighter. This mixture is magical, mix them in the palm of your hand and illuminate your skin with a few touches of the magic wand (read small touches with the fingertips).
