Many believe that achieving glowing skin is only possible with Photoshop or highlighter. But is it possible to achieve this effect with skincare?
Glow Skin Trend: How to Achieve Radiant, Glowing Skin
Radiant skin like the characters in the show “Bridgerton” – is it possible without makeup? Absolutely!
It might be hard to believe, but we assure you that the healthy glow effect can be achieved with proper care. However, we warn you:
If you want your skin to radiate health and natural beauty, you’ll need to put in some effort and have a little patience because results take time. Ready to revamp your routine? Let’s dive in!
Proper Cleansing: The Foundation of Glow Skin
Accumulation of impurities and excess sebum in the pores doesn’t contribute to skin health (or glow, for that matter), so proper cleansing is essential.
Choose gentle foams or gels that don’t disrupt the skin’s natural balance. Wash your face twice a day: in the morning to refresh your skin after sleep, and in the evening to remove the dirt accumulated during the day and makeup.
Don’t forget about the makeup removal step in the evening. Start your evening cleansing routine with hydrophilic oil, balm, or micellar water, even if you don’t wear makeup. Makeup removers deeply cleanse the pores and effectively dissolve sunscreen. The key is to always wash off the residue with a second cleansing step – foam or gel.
Deep Hydration: Your Must-Have
Want glowing skin? Ensure it gets enough hydration. Serums packed with moisturizing agents are a must-have for achieving the glow skin effect. They hydrate the skin, making it smooth and firm. A lightweight moisturizing cream will help retain that moisture and create an invisible barrier to protect the skin from harmful environmental factors.

Vitamin C: The Key to Radiance
Vitamin C is one of the best allies for radiant skin. This powerful antioxidant brightens the skin, evens out its tone, and helps fight pigmentation. Add a Vitamin C serum to your morning routine, and in a few weeks, you’ll notice how your skin starts to glow with healthy radiance.
Examples of Vitamin C Serums:
Exfoliation Is Essential
To achieve glowing skin, it’s important to get rid of dead skin cells, but this should be done carefully. Choose gentle exfoliants like enzyme powders, mild peels, or acids. Use them 1-3 times a week (enzyme powders can be used more often), and your skin will stay smooth, fresh, and radiant.
Examples of Exfoliants:
Sunscreen: Your Best Friend
The sun’s rays can quickly undo your efforts to achieve glowing skin. That’s why sunscreen is not just an addition to your routine but a necessity. Apply it in the morning and reapply throughout the day if you spend a lot of time in direct sunlight (reapply physical filters every two hours, chemical filters every six hours of sun exposure).

Minimal Makeup for Maximum Glow
A light makeup and a touch of highlighter will emphasize the natural glow skin effect. Opt for lightweight foundation products that don’t clog pores. But remember, no foundation (even one with SPF) can replace sunscreen, so never skip applying it before your makeup.
Balance your skincare with makeup, and your skin will look perfect.
