Keep it clean for a good skincare routine
When we're in a hurry, we often skip some steps in our skin care regimen. There will be days when skincare is the least of your worries, but as often as you can, try to take that time for yourself.
The first step in self-care is to make the effort to remember that you deserve at least some of the time that you have for others. In fact, having a little "me time" generally means you're able to appear to your loved one in a more authentic way.
When you wake up in the morning, splashing some water on your face can feel like refreshing weather. It's a moment to remove that sleep from your eyes and mentally prepare for the day.
If you have dry skin, you may not even need to use a cleanser, but if you have oily skin, a gentle face wash is a good way to refresh your skin and remove the dust and oil that has accumulated in your pores overnight. .
Later, when you're settling down for the evening, you'll want to make sure you remove makeup and all the dirt and debris from the day. In the words of that bestselling book from a few years ago, wash your face.
Get rid of dead skin cells
Sometimes, your home needs a little extra cleaning, such as when those nooks and crannies have gone unnoticed for a long time. So it is with the skin. Those nooks and crannies are the pores, and they also require some extra attention.
Our skin goes through a natural skin renewal cycle whereby cells make their way to the surface of the skin, die and fade away. This clears the way for new cells, and the cycle continues. However, the pace of this process slows as we age, so it's a good idea to exfoliate and scrub.
There are two types of peeling: physical and chemical. Physical exfoliation, as the name suggests, involves removing those dead cells from the surface.
Chemical peels dissolve the bonds between cells, so they can be removed more easily. Glycolic acid and salicylic acid are commonly used in chemical peels. However, these are not the only options to dissolve dead skin cells.
Sometimes you will come across a product that combines the best of both worlds. JUARA Radiance Enzyme Scrub contains natural apple enzymes that dissolve dead cells as well as bamboo and jojoba beads that break down surface debris.
This vegan formula is well suited for all skin types, even those with sensitive skin.
The gentle formula fights clogged pores with clove seed oil, reduces dark spots with the help of vitamin C, and gives you the glowing complexion you've been looking for.
It sounds too good to be true, but you'll see for yourself when you try it.
Exfoliation makes the skin fresher and brighter
Take it to the next level with a toner
As mentioned earlier, some skincare steps seem to clutter our minds. For some reason, toner tends to be one of them — and what a shame because toner can make a real difference to skin.
Toner can help balance oily skin, but also rejuvenate and refresh dry and dull types.
JUARA Tamarind Tea Hydrating Toner relies on the healing properties of tamarind seed extract and hydrating hyaluronic acid to enhance moisture retention and support the skin's barrier function.
The triple tea blend, rich in antioxidants, gives your skin a glowing appearance and fights oxidative stress and skin damage caused by various environmental factors.
The oil- and alcohol-free formula not only boosts hydration, but balances pH levels. It soothes your skin, reduces redness, and leaves you with an enviable dewy complexion.
Maybe we should all think twice before omitting this step in the future.
Enter antioxidants to even out skin tone
If you want to see more dewy skin and fewer dry patches and dark circles, there is definitely something you can do. Using products that contain antioxidants can give your skin the shields it needs to defend itself against harmful free radicals.
Ultraviolet rays from the sun are the main cause of free radicals affecting the skin. These unstable molecules steal from healthy cells and cause oxidative stress. This process activates enzymes that destroy cells, break down collagen, and cause premature aging.
You can help fight these free radicals by eating foods rich in antioxidants, and incorporating antioxidants into your skin care.
Antioxidants work by neutralizing free radicals in one of two ways. They provide the needed extra electron or break down free radical molecules so they are effectively harmless. Antioxidants stop the formation of free radicals by breaking the chain reaction of stealing electrons.
Both of the JUARA products we mentioned above contain powerful antioxidants that protect and heal the skin. And — spoiler alert — there's still one more that we'll highlight below!
Antioxidants fight harmful free radicals and lead to a more youthful appearance
Make sure to moisturize the skin morning and night
While there are many ways to make sure your skin stays hydrated, using a moisturizer is one of the most tried and true beauty tips out there.
When our skin is sufficiently hydrated, it works more efficiently. This means that it protects us better and looks healthier while doing work.
If you want dewy skin, you need to provide it with some moisturizing ingredients. Moisturizers like aloe vera help hydrate the skin, while humectants like olive oil and almond oil soften the skin and lock in moisture.
During the day, moisturizer isn't the only thing your skin requires. If you want the perfect no-makeup complexion, you're going to need some extra protection. Dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen if you plan to spend any time outdoors.
Not everyone will remember to add SPF in a separate step, so it's great when you find an anti-aging makeup or day cream that also contains some SPF. If you already have your favorite moisturizer or makeup on and don't have SPF, be sure to apply sunscreen all over your body before you hit the beach.
It is important to wear sunscreen if you want to maintain that natural glow and reduce the formation of fine lines and wrinkles.
When the sun goes down and it's time to go to bed, be sure to wash off all the dirt and makeup and apply some more moisturizer so that your skin can recover throughout the night.
Apply a face oil for a gorgeous glow
While we're still on the topic of skincare, JUARA has another great way to get glowing skin. A few drops of Radiance Vitality Oil will instantly eliminate some of these problems with the natural anti-inflammatory effects of Passion Fruit and Turmeric Oil.
Enriched with natural oils and extracts, this formula moisturizes the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face.
Macadamia nut oil promotes collagen production and - like candelilla oil - contributes high concentrations of omega fatty acids that nourish and moisturize the skin.
Vitamin C brings brightening power that reduces the appearance of age spots and evens skin tone. Coconut oil and rice bran oil contain vitamin E that helps skin maintain more youthful elasticity.
Although the texture of this luxurious elixir is light and non-greasy, it provides a healthy dose of hydration and replenishment. Those who tried it reported seeing smoother, brighter, and more radiant skin.

You can even use a little of this oil on your makeup to bring out your already glowing skin. Your makeup artist might suggest patting the high points of your cheekbones to give your skin a glowy finish. However, with this oil, you may find that you are more likely to come away with a makeup-free face!
Some people are afraid to use a face oil if they suffer from pimples or the occasional blemish. However, some oils—like the jojoba oil in this formula—help balance excessive sebum production. It's also a natural antibacterial, which is great for acne-prone skin.
If you're trying to target acne, you can always get some benzoyl peroxide for spot treatments, or use some tea tree oil, but don't be shy about using a face oil or body oil for that matter.
Eat healthy foods for healthy skin
Eating healthy food is the foundation of overall health. Besides getting good sleep and taking time to exercise, it's important to consume a good amount of whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and lean protein.
We mentioned antioxidants above, and they're not just for the creams you put under makeup. There are antioxidant-rich foods like broccoli, spinach, asparagus, and avocado, all of which support healthy skin.
There is also some research to suggest that taking beta-carotene, in particular, contributes to healthy skin. Beta-carotene is a compound that gives vegetables their yellow, orange and red colour. The best food sources of beta-carotene are sweet potatoes, apricots, and carrots.
Certain foods can affect individuals differently, so avoid foods that you know cause health problems or skin reactions.
If you're trying to wear a little less makeup and let your natural radiance shine through, you better eat.
Drink water to win
Sure, we could have included water as part of a healthy diet, but just to make sure it stands out, we brewed it on its own.
There is a reason we say (in different languages) "Water is life". If you drink a lot of water, you are likely to see a positive effect on your overall health.
Our organs need H2O to function properly, and we know that the skin is the largest organ in the human body. So if you want to see your skin glow without having to learn the latest makeup tricks, make sure to grab that glass of water.
There is no hard and fast rule for exactly how much water a person should consume, but somewhere in the vicinity of 6-8 cups per day seems to be the general consensus.
If you struggle to eat a lot, you can always squeeze some lemon to liven things up or eat foods that have a high water content like lettuce, cantaloupe, and watermelon. Now doesn't that sound refreshing?
Do some exercises to get a healthy glow
The super clever shortcut to getting that glow from within is to get your body moving. Physical activity can give many people a natural blush, which is like painting the cheeks with a natural blush - without the need for makeup.
How does this work? Exercise causes blood vessels to dilate and constrict to pump blood toward your muscles.
When you do exercises such as jogging, jumping rope, or brisk walking, you increase your circulation. Increased circulation tones the skin's surface and oxygenates your cells.
Exercise is good for the skin and the whole body
Exercise is essential for general fitness as well as for maintaining healthy skin. If you're hoping to skip makeup, you can always skip a few ropes!
Rest to get glowing skin
When you get a good night's rest, you'll likely not only feel refreshed, but you'll also look more energized.
Most experts seem to recommend getting 7-9 hours of sleep each night. If you don't get enough sleep, your body releases the stress hormone, cortisol. While it is a useful hormone in fight-or-flight situations, it is not ideal all the time.
Cortisol can cause inflammation, which can exacerbate skin conditions such as psoriasis.
Although it may sound like a dated phrase, people are drawn to Sleeping Beauty for a reason. While you sleep, your body supplies nutrients and expels excess fluid. Your cells go into hyperactivity after midnight, repairing and restoring skin.
In addition, the body secretes the human growth hormone, which is necessary for the production of new collagen in the skin. As you know, collagen is essential for firm and supple skin.
If you sacrifice sleep to stream your favorite show, you'll likely see more puffiness around your eyes in the morning. Try turning off the lights (and the TV) a little earlier than usual and see how it affects your skin.
There is one more thing you can do to get that glow without an ounce of makeup. This video below shows how face yoga can help you stimulate blood flow and give your skin a beauty boost.
You should be gently massaging your face, but there should still be some blood moving around. Make sure your strokes are in an upward motion to encourage high impact.
