Glowing skin: 4 hacks for glowing skin

Why doesn't my skin glow?

If you want radiant skin, you first need to know why the complexion has lost its natural shine. Especially in winter, the skin tends to be dull. This is due to dry skin cells that make the complexion look dull and blotchy. There is also a natural aging process that gradually robs the skin of its luminosity. Aging skin cells lose their vitality, become tired of constantly dividing themselves again and can defend themselves against the exposure to so-called free radicals more and more weakly. Free radicals are aggressive oxygen particles that attack the cell membrane. They can arise from external environmental influences (e.g. UV radiation), but also from internal stress. Creams with antioxidants start here.

1. Vitamins for more glow

Antioxidants are substances that prevent free radicals from forming and multiplying in the body. Regularly ingested through food, they make the skin healthy and radiant. Citrus fruits in particular contain a high level of vitamins A, C and E, which are considered reliable antioxidants. A little tip: If you don't manage to eat fruit every day, you can also ensure a good vitamin supply through targeted nutritional supplements .

2. Exfoliate regularly

The better the microcirculation works in the cells, the more beautiful the skin looks. An increased blood flow causes an optimal supply of oxygen and nutrients. All you have to do is regular peelings . The highlight: the scratching cures not only stimulate metabolic activity, but also remove the unsightly, wintry gray haze. Especially in the winter months, two peelings per week are ideal.

3. Drink a lot

A good hydro supply makes the skin cells plump, so that the complexion looks smooth and fresh. In addition, incident daylight can be better reflected on a smooth skin surface, giving the skin more radiance. Good to know: intensive moisturizing is important, but not always sufficient. The cells must also be supplied with water from the inside. The more regularly and more we drink , the more beautiful our skin becomes. A little tip: with tasty teas or lemons squeezed out of the juice, you bring variety to your glass. There are also special vitamin teas that provide the body with valuable nutrients.

4. Radiate with pallor

A beautiful radiance always arises on the skin when incident light is reflected and acts like a beautiful glow. As with all surfaces, the same applies to the skin: a light complexion develops more luminosity than dark skin, because it tends to swallow incident light. Winter paleness is therefore perfect for more luminosity. The following also applies: Pay attention to regular UV protection. Because too intensive sun consumption not only makes the skin darker (and therefore less radiant), but also creates pigment spots . Consistent UV protection is therefore essential, especially in summer. And in winter: just look forward to the elegant pallor; after all, we're shining like never before!
