As I mentioned last week, I love the “natural, glowing skin look”, but we all know our skin needs a little help in getting there after too many cups of coffee and late nights(blogging). I met with Lana at The Body Shop and she revealed her secret weapon. The Vitamin C Range.
I tried out Lana’s recommended little bottle of dynamite goodness. The Vitamin C Skin Boost. Your secret weapon for those dull, tired and dreary skin days.Wow, the silky texture is amazing. After a scrub with the Vitamin C Micro Refiner, you’re half way there as the Vitamin C, a powerful anti-oxidant, uplifts energizes and refreshes the skin.
Next for a natural and healthy looking glow, apply Natures Minerals Bronzer. I’ve been loving using this in the winter months. I love that it helps minimize fine lines. Bonus!
If it’s a subtle fresh colour your after, these Blush Trio’s are fabulous. Containing community trade moisturising marula and sesame oil, these moisturising blushes can be used on eye’s and lips too, providing a radiant glow. I love the pink on lips for a soft pretty look.
The ever radiant Khandiz, Hair and make-up artist, had these tips for Glowing Skin:
“Glowing skin comes from within, so it is important to get yourself glowing from the inside out. Taking care of your skin with skin products that contact Vit A, C and E. But as we all have bad skin days, here is how I go about making a sad dull skin look healthy and glowing… conceal any blemishes with a colour that is half a shade lighter than your skin tone. If you have dark rings under your eyes, use a corrector…not just a concealer! then use a tinted moisteriser and apply that over you entire face by pressing it into the skin with the palm of your hands. Use a nice warm peach cream blush on the apples of your cheeks – a little mascara and hey presto, glowing skin…oooh and don’t forget to think some happy thoughts and a dash of selfconfidence will really make you shine!”
My favourite radiance boost (A travel must), that now sits on my desk. The Vitamin C Energizing Facial Mist. The fragrance is so energizing and such a pick me up. I have to try not reach for it every 5 minutes. The Grapefruit Essential oils relax and revive the skin. Love this!
