Reinforce the hydration of your skin

One of the main causes of dull complexion? The dehydration ! Once dried, the skin takes on a matte appearance and reflects much less light. The number 1 beauty concern of winter, dry skin is one of the most common skin problems in winter. To avoid losing luster, we therefore rely on ultra moisturizing treatments based on hyaluronic acid or evenaloe vera (a hydration champion plant) and add to your skincare routine a rehydrating mask (day or night) to leave on your face twice a week for prevention and as soon as areas of dryness appear.

Make a treatment cure based on vitamin C

Illuminating vitamin par excellence, the vitamin C (or L-ascorbic acid) is a powerful antioxidant that you can’t miss when looking to maximize the skin’s natural radiance. Anti-ageing, it plumps the skin, reduces pigment spots and evens out the complexion to give it more luminosity. And as it is photosensitizing, winter is the perfect time to take a care treatment that contains it without risking damaging your skin in the sun.
The must ? One serum rich in vitamin C or care ampoules which apply before the day cream (ultra moisturizing if you follow it well).

Stimulate cell regeneration

Dead cells and impurities that accumulate on the surface of the epidermis also affect the way the skin reflects light. For it to be radiantly healthy, it is therefore necessary to ensure that it is properly detoxify by making a purifying mask once a week, but also a scrub which will loosen all the small dry skins that dull the complexion. Thus, your skin will be able to regenerate effectively. Smoother and softer, it will reveal all its radiance.

Massaging her face

We too often underestimate the beautifying effect a facial massage! However, once the features are relaxed, the skin is smoothed and reflects light better. Just a few gestures made when applying facial care in the morning to make the complexion many brighter even without makeup.
When putting on your serum, warm the product between your palms before placing your hands flat on your face to exert light pressure in order to deposit the care and begin to stimulate the skin. Continue by making upward smoothing movements (which stretch the skin up and out of the face), starting from the chin to go up along the jawline, from the nose to go up the cheekbones, from the hollow of the dark circle to the temples, then from the eyebrows to the top of the forehead. Repeat each movement a minimum of three times for brighter skin. And if you’re not comfortable with your hands, use a massaging accessory for the face such as a jade roller or gua sha stone.

Cheating with an illuminating makeup base

There’s nothing like a make-up bluff for skin that shines in winter! It allows you to display more radiance instantly and without waiting for the effect of previous treatments and gestures, and comes illuminate the complexion even more when the mine is already naturally radiant. But rather than drop a few touches ofhighlighter here and there on your face, the must remains to opt for an illuminating base that is worn under the foundation in order to obtain a radiant complexion but makeup super natural.
