Glow In Cosmetics

Natural ways to achieve glowing skin

In the (natural) cosmetics world, the word ‘glow’ is one of the most glittering terms- in the truest sense of the word. But what is the effect glow and how can we achieve glowing skin? We’ll answer some of the most frequently asked questions in this contribution.

What does glow mean in terms of cosmetics?

Glow is one of the visible and also tangible attributes of our skin quality. In science, this famed glow, also known as radiance, is referred to as our skin’s ability to reflect light. In terms of our facial skin, glow therefore means a youthful, fresh, smooth, pure, pore-free, even and radiant complexion. If our skin is lacking in glow, it often looks tired and pale and sometimes even develops a yellowish or grey undertone. There may be various reasons for this.

Obtaining and maintaining a radiant complexion takes more than just applying suitable and nourishing cosmetic products, because glow is closely related to your radiance. Besides healthy skin, the most important basis for this is also your physical and mental health- and therefore both your internal and external care.

Glow takes more than just cosmetics

In addition to choosing the right skin care products, the following points are therefore also important to achieve that coveted glow effect on your face.

  • Reduce stress levels, because you then also reduce your stressed radiance.

  • Get sufficient sleep for relaxation and regeneration.

  • Do not smoke as this speeds up the skin’s ageing process.

  • Eat a healthy and varied diet and drink plenty of fluids in order to supply your cells with moisture. Vitamins and trace elements are important to your general health and performance.

  • Get plenty of exercise, because that promotes circulation, improves the supply of oxygen levels to your cells and allows you to reduce stress at the same time.

  • Consume detox drinks or detox food to detoxify the body and boost metabolism.

  • Choose good, moisturising skin care that matches your skin type.

  • Choose the right make-up: bronzers, powders and highlighters are ideal beauty aids.

As you can see, the secret of a beautiful glow is a combination of a healthy lifestyle, meticulous care and choosing the right cosmetic products.

At lavera, we trust in these natural and effective glow ingredients that support your skin’s natural radiance. Aloe vera, vegetable glycerine and natural hyaluronic acid (INCI: sodium hyaluronate) supply your skin with plenty of extra moisture.

Glow ingredients

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is able to bind moisture in the upper layers of the skin and can therefore help to plump up your skin from the inside. The resulting moisture deposits in your skin resulting in increased elasticity.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C for the skin is a key factor for glowing skin. This essential vitamin is not only important for our immune system, but also plays a role in skin care. Thanks to its antioxidant effect, vitamin C is fundamentally important for protecting the skin, preventing premature skin ageing and building up collagen. Vitamin C lends the complexion a fresh and entirely natural glow.

Vitamin E

Tocopherol, also known as vitamin E, is an antioxidant and protects your skin against oxidative stress and premature skin ageing.

Coenzyme Q10 is also an antioxidant and protects your skin from oxidative stress and premature ageing.

The ingredients aloe vera, glycerine, natural hyaluronic acid and vitamin E can help to bind moisture in the skin.

UV protection such as zinc oxide can protect the skin from harmful UV radiation and therefore contribute to a radiant complexion.

The glow effect: how do you obtain it?

To achieve healthy, glowing skin, the skin should be cleansed gently in the morning and evening before applying the appropriate care cream. The skin is supplied with valuable ingredients and moisture with a day cream suitable for your skin type and a matching night cream.

We talk about glow when our skin seems to radiate from within and appears fresh, smooth and youthful. Ingredients such as coenzyme Q10, vitamin E or aloe vera can support your skin’s natural glow. Trust in these and other glow ingredients when choosing your (natural) cosmetics.

However, obtaining glowing skin is also dependant on inner care, meaning that not only our skin, but also our psyche needs to be on top form. A healthy lifestyle with plenty of exercise, little stress and a balanced diet can help us to accomplish this. Achieving the right glow therefore takes both external and internal care.
