1. Exfoliation angle

As the weather gets warmer, we all want our skin to look and feel its best. One way to achieve this is by exfoliating regularly. Exfoliating helps to remove dead skin cells that can clog pores, dull your complexion, and prevent your skincare products from absorbing properly. 

To get the best results, it's recommended to exfoliate your skin twice a week using a gentle exfoliating scrub. Look for a product that contains fine exfoliating particles, such as sugar or jojoba beads, which won't be too harsh on your skin. You can also opt for chemical exfoliators such as alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) which work by dissolving the dead skin cells. 

Instructions on How to Achieve It 

When you exfoliate, it's important to be gentle and not to scrub too hard. Apply the product to your damp skin and use circular motions to massage it in, focusing on areas that tend to be oilier or have more dead skin buildup. Once done, rinse the product off thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat your skin dry with a towel. And voila, just like that you’re prepped and ready with the lingo - how to get glowing skin.

2. Lighten the moisturiser

When thinking how to get glowing skin, it doesn't need a thick layer of moisturiser now that winter is over. Use water-based formulations or gels instead so that they won't clog your pores and result in acne during the humid weather. For skin that is well hydrated but not oily, the Pond's Bright Beauty Serum Cream, Spot Less Glow  is a summer must. Given that this ground-breaking solution, loaded with b3 and SPF hydrates and nourishes the skin up, it is the best-in-class companion to instantly revitalised and radiant skin. Plus, it doesn’t only contribute to the temporary summer glow but also helps in removing those unfading stressors and other fine lines.  

If you want to add to your makeup arsenal, we also suggest using the all-time fav, Lakmé’s Absolute Perfect Radiance Creme. Formulated using precious micro-crystals and skin brightening vitamins this cream is all you need to fall back on for that illuminated look.

3. Make SPF your BFF

If the topic of how to get glowing skin is on your agenda, one of the best ways to do this is by incorporating a broad-spectrum sunscreen into your daily skincare routine. And while it's known that getting your hands on such a product will curb the tan, burn and the incoming of any sort of discoloration…but did you know that using sunscreen before putting on your makeup can also help prevent greasiness and keep your makeup in place all day long. 

Instructions on How to Achieve It 

Before applying your makeup in the morning, be sure to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a matte finish. This will help to prevent greasiness and keep your makeup looking fresh and flawless and of course, if applied without the makeup magic too, having a glow is inevitable as well.  

4. Eat antioxidant rich foods

Are you ready to spice up your summer skincare routine? Look no further than your local farmer's market for some antioxidant-rich goodness that'll leave your skin glowing! 

Filling your plate with colourful fruits and veggies is the ultimate way to boost your skin's sun protection from within. What better way to do it than with a delicious bowl of Greek yoghurt topped with juicy berries and sliced almonds? Being my favourite pick, a cool curb also helps in cooling the body temperatures and indirectly giving your skin that glow and inner TLC. 

5. Stick to a serum

Don't let your skin suffer from the sweltering weather! The secret to keeping your skin looking fresh and fabulous is by adding a serum to your skincare routine.  

Serums are like superheroes for your skin, packed with powerful ingredients that can help fight off the damaging effects of the sun and pollution. They're lightweight and easily absorbed, making them perfect for those hot summer days when heavy moisturisers can leave you feeling greasy and sweaty. One serum that we’re in love with is the #oneandonly -  Lakmé Absolute Perfect Radiance Skin Brightening Face Serum With Niacinamide.  Enriched with niacinamide for skin, this serum takes the extra leap to put a stop to a plethora of probs. Looking to lighten skin tone? It can do it. Diminish darkening? Of course. Curb oil production to do away with that nasty acne! Yes and yes. Leaving you with compliment-worthy skin, this is all you need to cop all those IG #wokeuplikethis like this and benefit from all the summer glow. So, pamper your cart with this serum and unveil the most beautiful and youthful you.  

Psst…If you’re looking for an alternate option, let’s suggest our other fav - The Pond's Bright Beauty Vitamin C Serum! Infused with excellent sources of vitamin C like pomegranate, green papaya, and lemons, this serum brightens, exfoliates, wards off free radicals from the skin. It keeps you away from the cause of premature ageing and reinstates that long-lost glow of yours.

6. Stay hydrated

Last but not least, staying hydrated not only helps your body function properly but also has a great impact on your skin. When you're dehydrated, your skin can become dry, tight, and even itchy. By drinking plenty of fluids and eating foods with high water content, you're helping to keep your skin plump, glowing, and healthy. To amp up the water situation, you can also infuse it with herbs - it’ll just make the hydration tastier and easier.  

FAQs about How to Get Natural Glowing Skin   

Q1. How often should I wash if I have combination skin in the summer? 

Combination skin people are a part of the lucky clan - you don’t have to go hunting for the right cleanser — more or less, everything suits you. And the weather concerns don’t have to be on your mind all the time too. However, you need to wash your face twice a day for refreshed and clean skin.   

Q2. How much moisturiser should I use?  

Well, if you think more moisturiser will give you quicker results - let us just stop you right there! A nickel-sized amount should be the perfect quantity for your full face. Going in with heavy squeezes can bring some breakouts your way, and using too little won’t hydrate your skin, keeping it firm and tight.
