WHEN YOU WANT TO GO WITHOUT MAKEUP BUT STILL LOOK FRESH AND HAVE A RADIANT COMPLEXION, THERE ARE SOLUTIONS
Focus on a healthy lifestyle, daily massages, vitamin C skincare, and dietary supplements that boost radiance and collagen.
DRINK PLENTY OF WATER
It is essential to drink plenty of water every day in order to hydrate the body and eliminate toxins. Water helps detoxify the body and therefore the cells. Drinking water is the first simple step toward better-quality skin that retains its suppleness, elasticity and radiance. In addition, drinking plenty of water may reduce the proliferation of the bacteria responsible for acne.
For a fresh complexion and a radiant glow, don’t forget your water bottle during the day and remember to drink several herbal teas whenever you can.
SLEEP AT LEAST 8 HOURS
The body and the skin regenerate during the night, which means nighttime skincare works even more effectively. If you do not sleep enough or sleep poorly, the skin does not have time to regenerate, and you will wake up with a dull complexion.
Lack of sleep also accelerates skin aging by reducing collagen production, which takes place during the night. It also promotes blemishes and skin inflammation because the skin will secrete cortisol (the stress hormone) due to sleep deprivation.
As for dark circles, the blood pigments under the eyes will not be properly drained and will accumulate, forming puffiness. The result is a tired-looking complexion.
A GOOD CLEANSING ROUTINE
Never skip the skin-cleansing step in the morning. You need to remove dead skin cells, excess sebum and any residue from the previous night’s skincare. Proceed with gentle exfoliation using a cleanser or a sponge:
MASSAGE WITH TOOLS
Massage is an essential step in any glow-boosting routine. It stimulates the elimination of waste and dead skin cells, while promoting blood and lymphatic circulation. Massage also oxygenates the tissues and improves skin tone. Grab your Gua Sha and massage your face for 5 minutes in the shower, for example, with your cleanser!
To tone and firm the skin, we love using Cryo Face tools. They help wake up the skin and are a great way to start the day!
VITAMIN C SKINCARE
In the morning, opt for a vitamin C treatment. Here is why: vitamin C skincare helps protect the skin from free radicals and therefore from skin aging. It also supports cell renewal and helps reduce pigmentation spots and scars. Vitamin C is an everyday radiance booster. When paired with vitamin E (tocopherol), vitamin C becomes even more effective.
SUPERFOODS TO BRIGHTEN THE COMPLEXION AND STIMULATE COLLAGEN PRODUCTION
Marine collagen is clinically proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, firm the skin and strengthen its elasticity:
• Collagène Marin Naturel Original - VIDA GLOW
Between the ages of 20 and 50, we lose 50% of our collagen. Collagen-based supplements can slow this loss. When combined with vitamin C, marine collagen is much more effective:
• Mélange beauté au collagène marin - KIKI HEALTH
Chlorophyll detoxifies the skin and boosts the complexion’s radiance. It stimulates circulation and delivers oxygen for a fresher complexion and fewer dark circles. It also helps rejuvenate the skin by fighting the free radicals responsible for premature skin aging:
• Chlorophylle Liquide - KIKI HEALTH
Rich in antioxidants, cocoa helps prevent the signs of aging. The sulfur it contains is beneficial for the skin, hair and nails by rebuilding collagen and keratin. Cocoa also contains a good amount of vitamin C and magnesium, which helps protect the skin and keep it healthy. Cocoa contains omega-6 fatty acids, which support cell healing. It helps repair wounds and scars quickly:
• Cacao + Champignons Adaptogènes - KIKI HEALTH
Moringa is recommended for dry skin because it is one of the best adaptogens for hydration. It is packed with proteins and vitamins A, C and E, as well as beta-carotene:
LIGHT & NATURAL MAKEUP
If you still want to wear a little makeup, here are a few tips:
A CC cream with SPF:
• Impeccable Skin - SUNTEGRITY
• SunCoverup Super Tint Broad Spectrum SPF 50 Sunscreen - RMS Beauty
A little highlighter for touches of light:
• Sérum Eclat SPF30 - SuperNatural Radiance - RMS Beauty
RMS Master Radiance Base can be diluted into your CC cream or applied in small touches to the brow bone, the cupid’s bow, the tops of the cheekbones and the tip of the nose:
A touch of natural blush:
• Blush Poudre Hydratant "Re" Dimension - RMS BEAUTY
A swipe of mascara:
• Holi (Lash) Growth Mascara - AGENT NATEUR
A tinted balm for a bitten-lip effect:
• Baume Teinté “Crimson” - OLIO E OSSO
A lightweight powder to set everything:
• Hydra Setting Powder - Poudre Fixatrice Hydratante - RMS BEAUTY
LIGHT THERAPY
LED photomodulation is a non-invasive treatment that consists of exposing the skin to different wavelengths of light, each of which has a different effect on the skin (depending on its color), in order to trigger natural cellular repair and rejuvenation processes. Red light is recommended for delivering an instant glow.
