How to Make Your Face Glow

We may all have different skin types and goals but one thing that’s pretty much universal is wanting a healthy-looking glow.

If you do happen to be lucky in the dewy skin department, then you'll still want to know how to keep it looking and feeling its best.

If dull skin is all you’re seeing right now, then not to worry because we’re here to share our top tips for restoring your radiance. Ready? Let’s glow... 

Where healthy skin begins

What is glowing skin?

It might sound obvious but glowing skin can mean something slightly different to different people. For some, it means looking like you got a great night’s sleep, while for others it can mean the ‘glass skin’ look with a dewy-looking finish. We think of it as looking balanced and ‘lit from within’, meaning it has a natural brightness.

One thing to remember is that glowing skin doesn’t mean unattainable, ‘perfect’ skin because there’s no such thing. You can have healthy skin that glows and still have occasional blemishes, texture, fine lines... it’s all totally normal!

 

What influences skin health and overall glow? 

Just like the definition of face glow can be open to interpretation, everyone’s skin is unique. So, what gives it radiance (or takes it away) can vary a little. Here’s a few of the common factors that affect healthy skin.

Your genetics 

If dry skin and other conditions run in the family, then you may be a little more prone to skin that doesn’t look super dewy without a helping hand.

Health and hormones

Underlying health conditions, different medications, a hormonal imbalance and more can cause sudden changes to your skin.

Where you live 

Pollution, sun exposure, extreme temperatures or dry air around you can be problematic to your skin’s overall health.

Your lifestyle 

From sleep routines to heightened stress levels, sometimes our day-to-day life can have an impact on how our skin’s looking – not to mention our general wellbeing. Using the right skincare in your morning and evening routines can also play a big part. 

 

Your guide to glowing skin

What face glow products should I use in my skincare routine? 

If your skin isn’t looking as glowy as you’d like it to be then it’s time to take a look at your skincare regime. Our Protect ‘N’ Glow™ range has been expertly formulated to transform dull-looking skin while still being as gentle as possible. That means no colour, perfumes or harsh chemicals and each product has been dermatologically tested. 

Cleansers that boost brightness

One of the surprising ways your skin can become dull is by not cleansing properly or often enough. Dirt, pollution and more can really build up on the skin during the day and it’s not always something you can see. Over time, this can even contribute to premature ageing!

Our Glow Facial Wash not only cleanses away daily impurities, but it’s also enriched with brightening ingredients like Antioxidant Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Ginger Root and Glycerin.  

Perfect for sensitive skin, this 2-in-1 formula gently exfoliates as it purifies to help reveal your radiance – without any irritation.

Exfoliating regularly 

Gentle exfoliants buff away dead skin cells, helping to reveal a fresh-looking complexion - without stressing out your skin barrier. 

Our NEW Smoothing Gel Cleanser contains 5% Lactic Acid and Hyaluronic Acid. It cleanses, resurfaces the skin and supports the skin barrier, all in one super easy step. It’s the perfect choice if you’re looking to revive dull-looking skin.

Unlike some scrubs, this formula is gentle enough for daily use and like all Simple® products is suitable for sensitive skin. 

Masks that do more

If you want to skip the spa treatments and you’re wondering how to make your face glow at home, then try a new face mask. From nourishing to purifying, they can improve your luminosity levels in minutes. Our Detox & Brighten Clay Mask draws out impurities and pollutants like a magnet and encourages micro-circulation for skin that feels revitalised in no time. 

If you’re more into a speedy sheet mask, then our 48hr Glow Sheet Mask is about to be your new favourite. It’s infused with antioxidant Vitamin E, naturally derived Fruit Enzymes and plant-based Prebiotics to brighten skin for up to two days. 

One of the areas that shows signs of fatigue the most is our under eyes because its where the skin is thinnest. Our Brightening Eye Gel revives them in minutes.

It’s infused with 5% hydrating actives, as well as Vitamins B3+C+E, Ginger and more. Plus, it contains blue light protection making it the perfect pick for screen-stressed eyes.

 

Supercharged moisturisers and SPF boosters
 

Hydrated skin will always look instantly more vibrant but choosing a face cream with brightening ingredients will give you next-level radiance. One of the best face creams for glowing skin from our collection is the Brightening Gel Cream which helps replenish your skin for 72 hours.

During the day, it’s important to include sunscreen in your routine. Too much exposure to the sun can lead to premature skin ageing, dark spots and can interfere with collagen production – all depleting your natural glow. 

Lastly, one of our most-loved products is the Triple Protect Moisturiser SPF 30. This multitasking moisturiser instantly improves your skin’s appearance. Plus, it helps to defend against three key skin aggressors: UV rays, pollution and blue light. 

So, there you have it. Now you know all the secrets to make your face glow. We’re predicting you’re about to get a lot of compliments...
