For many women, achieving radiant skin in between facial appointments is sometimes easier said than done. Even with a consistent skincare routine and plenty of hydration, it’s easy to feel like your skin isn’t as glowing as it could be, especially in COVID-19 lockdown.

It might be tempting to use home DIY facial kits while the salons and clinics remain closed during the lockdown, but often they can be riskier than you imagine, so resist the urge, and follow these 4 ways to help maintain radiant skin during COVID-19 lockdown:

 

Make sure you are cleansing correctly

As you know, the first step to achieving glowing skin is to thoroughly remove all make-up and surface debris with a gentle, natural remover.

You should be using a product that hydrates the skin as it cleanses, removing all traces of make-up, SPF, sweat, grime and environmental pollutants. Soak a cotton pad with the remover and gently wipe the face, repeating this process until the pad comes away clean.

 

Get them to add in a twice-weekly exfoliation

Once or twice a week you should be removing dead skin cells with a natural exfoliant. Exfoliating whisks away dead cells and encourages faster cell turnover, leaving skin smooth and radiant.

Add hydration in layers

Hydration is the key to unlocking radiant skin, so investing in the right facial moisturiser is key. Rosehip oil is extremely beneficial for skin as it provides gentle hydration, oil management, brightening of dark spots and reduced healing times.

Once your facial oil has been absorbed, you should then prep skin for make-up (if you plan to put some on) by massaging in a hydrating primer blended with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, jojoba oil and kangaroo paw extract.

 

Finish with a simple highlight

To finish off, use a liquid highlighter that adds soft shimmer and highlights your best features. Dab it onto the outer edges of the eyes, cupid’s bow, apples of the cheeks and the bridge of the nose for an ethereal glow.
