Four Simple Steps To Give Your Face A Strong Glow Game

An action plan that helps you accomplish your ultimate #SkinGoals trifecta of clarity, smoothness and all-round radiance.

by Arissa Ha  /   June 2, 2020

When your Instagram feed is bombarded with posts of bare-faced, blemish-free beauty influencers with hashtags such as #IWokeUpLikeThis, #GlassSkin and #NoFilter, it’s all too easy to fall into the trap of believing that your less-than-glowy skin is in dire straits.

The truth is that we all have good and bad skin days; if it’s not a pimple, it’s enlarged pores or blotchiness. Put down that high-powered magnifying mirror and stop scrutinising every inch of your face. We’re here to show you how you can achieve the best version of your skin.

Step One: Get Even

 

For a radiance boost, add a serum to your basic cleanse-tone-moisturise routine. Typically formulated with active ingredients in higher concentrations, a serum targets specific concerns such as dullness and pigmentation. A brightening serum, in particular, can do wonders if you’re gunning for the envy-inducing luminous complexion of Aussie beauty Cate Blanchett.

 

Brightening serums work by inhibiting the overproduction of melanin, which can lead to hyperpigmentation, and by breaking down existing pigmentation and gently exfoliating the top layer of skin to instantly reveal brighter, healthier-looking skin.

 

Decorte’s Whitelogist Brightening Correcting Serum With Kojic Acid is a fine example of a two-pronged approach. Anchored by star ingredient, kojic acid, it inhibits the production of tyrosinase, an enzyme that stimulates the melanocytes or melanin-producing cells, while reinforcing the skin’s ability to break down and disperse melanin clusters.

For stubborn pigmentation that is not spread over a wide area, spot pens deliver big results in a small package. These targeted treatments pack a punch when it comes to lightening dark spots. The most potent ones employ a day and night regimen that works around the clock to lighten dark spots.

 

Case in point: Chanel’s Le Blanc Intensive Brightening Spot Treatment – Day And Night Duo, a pair of brightening pens that works with your skin’s natural circadian rhythm to correct hyperpigmentation. The day pen shields skin against external aggressors that trigger melanocyte response while the night one focuses on boosting skin cell renewal, accelerating the rate at which melanin reaches the surface of skin to be shed off naturally.

 

L’Occitane’s Reine Blanche Dark Spot Care Duo works in a similar fashion—inhibiting melanin production during the day with vitamin C and liquorice extract, and exfoliating skin at night. Others feature a concentrated formula. SK-II’s GenOptics Spot Pen, for instance, has the highest concentration of the proprietary conditioning and brightening WH Smart Cocktail (niacinamide, inositol and hexyl decanol) among the brand’s products. The Kose Infinity Advanced White Stick XX and Albion Excia Whitening Intensive Spots both use high doses of kojic acid to suppress melanin production.

Step Three: Easy On The Eyes

 

Neglecting the eye area can derail your luminous-skin goals. Those dark under-eye circles or crepey skin can be caused by multiple factors: extrinsic ones such as too many late nights, eye strain from long hours spent in front of the computer or other blue light-emitting devices, and allergies such as hay fever, as well as intrinsic ones such as a genetic predisposition—which, unfortunately, means that the issues can’t be easily solved with just eye-care products.

 

Compounding the issue is the fact that the skin in the eye area is thinner than that on the rest of the face, which means that the blood vessels underneath and any discoloration show up easily. The skin here is also not as elastic compared to that in other areas of the face, making it susceptible to expression lines. There are fewer sebaceous glands around the eyes too, which makes the area more prone to dehydration than the rest of the face.

 

If fine lines are your concern, go for a lightweight eye cream such as the Smoothing Eye Cream from Re:Erth. It’s formulated to be absorbed quickly, locking in moisture and stimulating collagen production to plump up skin. Deep-seated wrinkles call for a stronger formula like the OptimaLift A+ Eye Repair Capsules from Оst.lab, which target expression lines with argireline, which contracts muscles (similar to the way botulinum toxin injections work), and Eyeseryl, a tetrapeptide that works on improving skin elasticity.

 

Life as an urbanite comes with its cons, particularly in the form of an addiction to our tech gadgets. If you notice fine lines, puffiness and dark circles developing, the Eye Repair Concentrate by Tom Ford Research can help salvage the situation. Its formula has white porcelain cacao, gyokuro and caffeine, which is akin to giving your tired peepers a shot of espresso to energise and brighten them. Hyaluronic acid hydrates and plumps up the skin while vitamin C offers protection against free-radical damage. Use a light touch when applying to avoid exacerbating the problem.

Step Four: Don’t Be Flaky

 

A lack of hydration not only robs skin of radiance, but is also often the root cause of many other skin issues, such as uneven tone and texture. Dehydrated skin can appear scaly or irritated too, with lines and wrinkles looking more obvious. How do you smoothen the texture and restore the glow?

 

Parched skin benefits from the use of a hydrating overnight mask such as Hera’s Aqua Recharging Sleeping Mask and Fresh’s Rose Deep Hydration Sleeping Mask, especially if you sleep in an air-conditioned room. Sleeping masks form a hydrating veil over skin while you sleep, preventing transepidermal water loss, or water loss through evaporation, which can exacerbate the look of fine lines and wrinkles. In particular, mature skin, which tends to lose water more easily, will benefit from these overnight masks, which improves the barrier function of skin.

 

For three-in-one action, try Chanel’s Le Blanc Healthy Light Creator Mask, which simultaneously cools, hydrates and brightens, for glowing skin come morning. If the prospect of waking up with product smeared all over your pillowcase doesn’t sound appealing, there are masks you can rinse or tissue off, such as Eve Lom’s Radiance Transforming Mask, which uses a natural alpha-hydroxy acid to exfoliate without drying out skin. Quick-absorbing leave-on treatments are another option.
