Some people are born with it, but it’s possible to get glowing skin at any age if you know the right steps to take. Here’s how to get glowing skin in five easy steps!
What Makes Your Skin Glow?
The foundation of radiant skin starts with a healthy diet, plenty of sleep, and a regular skincare routine. But many other factors make our skin look amazing. Check out these five easy steps for flawless skin:
-Hydrate your body from head to toe by drinking water throughout the day and moisturizing often -Exfoliate your skin at least twice per week so it stays smooth and free from build-up
-Protect your skin from harmful UV rays with sunscreen daily and try not to spend time outside during peak sun hours (between 10 am-2 pm)
-Avoid wearing makeup that contains heavy metals such as mercury or lead as they can cause long-term damage
-Get some beauty rest by turning off electronics 30 minutes before bedtime
Eat Well
Flawless skin starts with a healthy diet. Be sure to drink lots of water and eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables for the nutrients you need for glowing, hydrated skin. Cut out processed foods, sugar, and caffeine from your diet–all of which can lead to breakouts or irritate already sensitive skin.
If you’re looking for a more complete skincare routine, consider incorporating Korean skincare products into your diet. These superfoods are packed with vitamins and antioxidants that fight free radical damage, slow aging, and soothe skin that’s suffering from rosacea or eczema. Eat lots of these foods to get their benefits. Korean glass skin is all about brightening up dull and tired skin for a healthier-looking complexion with fewer wrinkles.
The key is incorporating regular use of serums, masks, and other Korean products into your daily beauty routine. Set aside at least an hour every day for your regime (or even better, treat it like you would a spa visit) and watch your skin transform!
Drink Enough Water
Drinking enough water is one of the most important things you can do for your skin. Your skin is made up of 60% water and will start to look dull, dry, and lifeless if it doesn’t get what it needs. Plus, most people don’t drink nearly as much water as they should which can lead to dehydration and other serious health problems. If you want flawless skin or Korean glass skin, drinking enough water is a must!
Say No to These Foods
Many of us are looking for that perfect complexion. The clear one has a healthy glow and is just naturally radiant. Korean women refer to this as having glass skin
Korean glass skin comes from eating Korean skincare-appropriate foods such as pumpkin, red beans, sweet potatoes, green tea, soybean products, and more.
Many Korean women take time off from school or work regularly (about four hours) so they can focus on their appearance. They have their faces scrubbed with an exfoliating soap or scrub then get treatment at the spa or massage parlor before enjoying some much-needed leisure time doing things they enjoy like shopping and dining out with friends.
Wear Sunscreen
If you want healthy, glowing skin, then there are some things that you need to do. One of these is wearing sunscreen every day. If you want to wear makeup, then make sure it has SPF and wear it over the top of your sun cream. This will help protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun which can cause premature aging and wrinkles. It’s also a good idea not to shave or wax too close to an area where there’s been a recent peel or laser treatment as this can lead to breakouts.
Exercise
I don’t know about you, but I get tired of using makeup and putting on a ton of layers just to hide my skin. This is why it’s so important for me to take care of my skin and make sure that it’s healthy. For your skin to look great, you have to have a solid routine that works for you. One way to start this is by exercising every day. When you exercise, your blood circulation will increase which will bring more oxygen and nutrients to the surface of the skin.
Exercise also reduces stress levels which can cause breakouts and make your complexion look dull or dry. And finally, exercise stimulates lymphatic flow which eliminates toxins from the body like sweat, fatty acids, and excess sodium that can build up in the body. All these things together are what make people glow!
Conclusion
The Korean glass skin trend has taken the beauty world by storm. But what is it? And how can you get it? There are many steps to consider, and it’s not always easy!
