How to Get Glowing Skin in 2020

It's a new year, which way many of us make New Year's resolutions. One of us (and probably one of you) is focused on skin care, which means that we focus on how to get glowing skin. There are many ways to optimize your skincare routine for glowing skin that not only looks beautiful on the outside but is healthy on the inside too. Here are our top recommendation on how to light up in 2020 and stay bright all year round. 

Create a realistic skin care routine.

If you want to know how to achieve glowing skin, it all starts with taking care of your skin from the inside. That means you need to create a skin care routine that you can really stick to. Taking care of your skin be supposed to feel like a gift that you give yourself every day. The moment it becomes more of a nuisance than useful, it is less likely. Retrain yourself to view it as a moment of self-care rather than a chore. Then find a usual that works for you. 

Are you a sunrise person or a night person? Choose a time for your standard routine that makes sense for your schedule. Does a simple 3 step routine get the job done, or are you using a ton of different oils, serums, and moisturizers that involve more steps? Either way, as long as you see results and use products that will benefit your skin. Try different skin care products and methods and find out what your skin likes best and what you can take the time to do.

Protect your skin with SPF.

Many of us think of sunscreen as a sticky cream that we just need to use on the beach. However, if you want to know how to get glowing skin, it all starts with simple skin protection. Dermatologists recommend wearing sunscreen or SPF every day. That's true every day. Even if it's cloudy or rainy. Fortunately, there are other products that include SPF in their formula so you don't have to use this sticky drug store sunscreen every day. Our Selfie Shield Broad Spectrum SPF 38 Dry Oil Primer is a great solution to incorporate SPF into your everyday life. It is a clear foundation suitable for all skin tones and types and has a sun protection factor of 38 in the formula for maximum UV protection. Plus, it actually works with makeup instead of fighting it like many of the typical oily sunscreens do. The less damage your skin takes, the healthier it becomes. This is how you achieve a natural shine before you even start applying your make-up. 

Protecting the skin from the sun on the beach

Take off your makeup every night.

If we haven't said it enough, glowing skin starts with healthy, clear skin. Removing makeup every night is an easy step to reduce breakouts and buildup on your complexion. We were all victims of sleeping with our faces painted on after a long night of partying or a busy day when we just couldn't find the energy to cleanse ourselves before bed. Make a goal to keep this as the exception rather than the rule (and leave some makeup remover wipes on your bedside table in those emergencies). Removing your makeup every night allows your skin to breathe and gives you the opportunity to cleanse your complexion below the surface. When you need to know how to show off glowing skin, removing makeup before bed is an easy tactic to get used to every night. 

Use a beauty blender.

Beautyblender is obviously our favorite tool for achieving a radiant look every day. One of the main reason we love our OG sponge is its versatility. You can use the BB for almost anything - foundation, foundation, concealer, highlighter, even eye shadow, you name it, the BB queen can do it. The unique texture works with both matte and damp formulas. Makeup beginners and beauty professionals alike keep wondering how to achieve glowing skin, and Beautyblender is the perfect secret weapon for making your makeup look like a second skin.
