New Year, New Glow: How to Revive Your Skin This Winter

New Year’s resolutions may be a dying trend but we’re still all about setting goals that actually stick. If “skin goals” made it to the top of your list, consider us instant friends. Glowing, healthy-looking skin isn’t just a resolution; it’s the beauty flex we’re manifesting in the new year. But where to even start? That’s where we come in. We’ll show you how to maximize your glow the practical way. Hint: It’s way easier than you think!

First: Grab a Brightening Serum

Right about now, you may be wondering where your skin’s sparkle went? This is the time of year when dullness shows up after a few too many late nights and calendar events. The remedy? Hydration and some active ingredients. This Glow C serum packs a hefty 6% dose of sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is a stable form of vitamin C (the ultimate skin glow getter). It also has vitamin E and orange extract to brighten, protect and refresh skin. Think of this serum as having a ring light effect on your skin. The lightweight formula absorbs quickly so you can apply your other makeup right over top without any issues.

Now, Mist on a Dewy Spray

There’s a crucial hydration step before makeup that most people overlook, and that’s mist. For ample skin glow, moisture is a must. Mist this dewy spray all over the face for a burst of hydration and radiance before your makeup. It makes for the ideal prep step because it primes the skin for product to really become one with the skin for a seamless effect. With its fresh watermelon scent and ultra-fine mist, you can use it as a refreshing pick-me-up throughout the day or to set your final makeup look to smooth, plump and glowing. Repeat after us: healthy skin is hydrated skin! 

Now You’re Ready For Foundation 

This is the season when skin gets seriously dry (yes, we’re side‑eyeing you, central heating and wind). To prevent your skin from being a victim of extreme dryness, we’re going to politely ask you to lighten things up a bit. Yes, it’s time to pack away that matte liquid foundation for a couple of months and reach for this lightweight foundation stick instead. It allows you to refine and even out specific areas, creating a flawless, natural canvas. The goal here is not a makeup mask. The healthiest skin looks natural, so use this stick sparingly and intentionally and blend it in well like it's your job. Use this makeup buffer brush for the best results, and always check your work in natural light. 

Lock in Luminosity With Highlighter

Is your skin even glowing without using a highlighter? Honestly, not enough. We know, adding a highlighter step to your daily routine is a lot to ask but your complexion will thank you, trust us. You know what makes this step super easy? A highlighting stick that you can just swipe on and blend in with your fingers. This balm-texture formula gives glass skin vibes that are high shine yet transparent, so the effect is natural and luminous.
