HOW TO MAKE YOUR SKIN GLOW

Radiant skin is the key to a healthy, and youthful-looking complexion, and is achieved through a combination of lifestyle habits and a healthy skincare routine.

Read on to discover why your skin looks dull and how to get radiant skin with glowing skin products from Filorga.

 WHAT IS DULL SKIN?

Skin that lacks radiance is often dull, lacklustre, flat looking and may have a rough or uneven texture.

WHY DOES MY SKIN LOOK DULL?

DRY OR DEHYDRATED SKIN

Dry and dehydrated skin often appears dull and lacks natural vibrancy, especially during winter months. A healthy skincare routine and ensuring you drink enough water to stay hydrated on the inside is essential to plump and radiant skin on the outside.

DEAD SKIN CELLS

A lack of exfoliation can cause dead skin cells to build up on the surface of the skin. This layer of dead skin prevents the skin from reflecting light and creates a grey, ashy look on the face

LIFESTYLE

Poor diet, lack of sleep and a lack of exercise can all contribute to a dull, tired looking complexion. Bad habits including not removing makeup, or thoroughly cleansing can also clog the pores and hinder skin’s natural renewal process, creating a dull appearance.

 

HOW TO GET GLOWING SKIN

STEP 1: REMOVE MAKEUP

To support skin’s natural renewal process, start your evening skincare routine by removing makeup with a micellar water.

Filorga Anti-Aging Micellar Cleansing Solution, is a micellar solution that removes make-up and SPF from the face and eyes. It’s unfused with active ingredients trehalose and rhamnose to help hydrate the skin while effectively cleansing.

 

STEP 2: DOUBLE CLEANSE

Double cleansing is essential for radiant skin and helps to remove dirt, sebum, pollutants, and remaining traces of makeup.

Boasting a gel texture that transforms into a fine foam, Filorga AGE-PURIFY CLEAN is a purifying cleansing gel perfect for skin prone to shine, spots, blackheads, and redness. It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid, peptides, and 5 micro-peeling acids to deeply clean the skin while helping to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

STEP 3: EXFOLIATE 1-3 TIMES A WEEK

Exfoliating the skin regularly helps to eliminate dead cells from the skins surface and renew the skin for a more radiant-looking complexion.

Filorga SCRUB & MASK is a dual-exfoliation mask-scrub with an oxygenating texture that transforms on contact with the skin. Formulated with exfoliating perlite spheres that offer gentle exfoliation, while a proteolytic enzyme stimulates skin peeling for an intense new-skin effect.

 

STEP 4: APPLY A BRIGHTENING TREATMENT

Rich in antioxidants, Vitamin C helps to reduce hyperpigmentation and the appearance of dark spots, making skin tone look more even.

HYDRA-AOX {5}, combines 5 powerful antioxydants to provide protection against external aggressor (polution, and blue light). Ideal for those with a greyish complexion that lacks radiance, it’s acting on 5 parameters of skin quality: fine lines, uneven skin texture, pores, dullness and dehydration.

A three-week intensive treatment, C-RECOVER Anti-Ageing Vitamin C Concentrate is a radiance boosting concentrate formulated with 8% pure Vitamin C.  Ideal for those with a greyish complexion that lacks radiance, it’s infused with hydrating polysaccharides, to give visibly more radiant, smoother and luminous skin.

 

STEP 5: REHYDRATE WITH A MOISTURISER

Loss of hydration from the skin’s surface can cause skin to appear dull and lacklustre. To maintain hydration levels and lend skin a plumper and brighter appearance, apply a moisturiser both morning and night.

Filorga’s OXYGEN-GLOW Face Cream is a super-perfecting radiance cream with an illuminating melt-in cream texture. Formulated with super-skin boosting factors [oxygenation booster, hyaluronic acid and L-enzyme] to correct a dull complexion, irregular skin texture, dehydrated skin, and fine lines. It also has enhanced complexion-evening action thanks to a colour-control peptide, for an even-looking complexion.

STEP 6: USE A BRIGHTENING FACE MASK

A face mask is an effective dull skin treatment that compliments your daily and evening skincare routine, while providing a concentrated dose of key ingredients to improve the appearance of dull, tired skin.

Formulated with a trio of peel-effect active ingredients, OXYGEN-GLOW Mask is a creamy face mask for perfect, radiant skin. Combining its hydra-illuminating texture, oxygen booster and hyaluronic acid, it helps to plump and smooth the skin.
