How To Get Glowing Skin
submitted: Dec 3, 2009tip #356
Weekly exfoliation is the secret behind
Heidi Klum's glowing skin.
Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate. If your skin isn't shedding those dead cells on its own, you're going to have to do it yourself. If you have normal/oily skin, Wu suggests using a salicylic acid product, like Philosophy The Microdelivery Peel, once a week. If you prefer mechanical exfoliation over chemical, try the Clarisonic Skincare Brush to physically remove buildup. For those with dry or sensitive skin, Wu recommends a gentle scrub like Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Smoothing Scrub to gently lift off dead skin cells without aggravating your skin.
Get into a routine. In addition to your weekly exfoliation, Wu suggests you keep your skin vibrant by using a sunscreen during the day to protect from skin-dulling sun damage and use a night cream that contains a retinol or retinoid like Renova to speed up cell turnover and push new, healthy cells to the surface.
Do a quick fix. If you want your skin to look brighter instantly, Wu has a few sneaky tricks to get glowing right now. "I'm obsessed with shimmer powder, which reflects light and makes your skin instantly glowier," says Wu. Try: Stila Illuminating Finishing Powder and Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick. Wu also suggests using a makeup primer to smooth flaky skin and provide an even surface for powder or foundation application. We like: Dior SkinFlash Primer.

wow (= thanks
dont you have anything to do at our house insted of buying it
my cheat: luminizing primer from carmindy's sally hansen line. it's cheaper than the dior option but really does the trick! i like it alone or under my foundation.
OR try a honey, olive oil and organic raw sugar mix. It'll exfoliate to YOUR liking without it being too grainy and harsh and the honey is an anti-bacterial so won't mess up your face AND the olive oil cells are too large to clog your pores.
hi.... im 12 and i want my skin to glow and get all those dead skins away so can you give me any tips using soap and water. because all i have is oatmeal soap and water
I'm 14, and I have the same problemo,:) I read somewhere that if you get just regular sugar, and rub it on your face for awhile, it wil remove dead skin cells. I tried it, and it really works!!! :)
i need a home remedy for glowing skin....
me too!
Use just regular sugar! and wash your face with it before it disolves! It removes dead skin, and leaves it soft and glowing. I highly recomend it:)

You can use normal sugar, or buy an exfoliating scrub to use 2-3 times a week. They're not very expensive here is Australia. Olive oil is epic too!

Does putting olive oil on your face then washing it off help or does it make your skin worse?
