Glow-Up Tips and Tricks

Try incorporating these glow-up tips and tricks into your skincare routine and lifestyle for a better, healthier you.

Beauty Sleep: Because your skin repairs and regenerates itself while you rest³, never underestimate the power of a good night's sleep. So ideally aim for seven to nine hours of quality sleep each night to help maintain a youthful, radiant complexion.

Hydration Station: Drinking plenty of water is essential for maintaining healthy, glowing skin. Drinking at least eight glasses of water daily is necessary to keep your skin hydrated from within. You can also add some lemon, cucumber, or berries for a refreshing, skin-loving twist.

Sun Protection: Protecting your skin from the sun's harmful UV rays will prevent premature aging. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 to 30 daily and reapply every two hours when spending time outdoors.

Exfoliate Gently: Regular exfoliation helps to remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover. This results in a smoother, more radiant complexion. Use Deluvia Exfoliating Cleanser, once or twice a week to keep your skin looking fresh and glowing.

Healthy Diet: You are what you eat! Nourish your skin by maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. They are high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that can help promote a healthy complexion.

Stress Less: Stress can wreak havoc on your skin. It's essential to find healthy ways to manage it. Incorporate activities like yoga or journaling into your daily routine to help reduce stress levels and maintain a balance in your life.

Exercise Regularly: Regular physical activity can help boost circulation and oxygen flow, resulting in a natural, healthy glow. Thirty minutes of moderate exercise most days of the week will help to keep your skin looking its best.

Be Consistent: Skincare is a marathon, not a sprint. Stick to a consistent skincare routine with the Deluvia skincare line, high-quality products to see the best results over time. Dedication to your skin will pay off in the long run.

Don't Forget the Neck and Décolletage: When applying your facial cream, don't forget to extend the application to your neck and décolletage. These often-neglected areas also need some TLC, as they are prone to signs of aging and can reveal your true age if not properly cared for and kept hydrated.

Give Yourself a Facial Massage: Boost the effectiveness of your skincare routine by incorporating a quick facial massage each day. This helps to stimulate blood flow, promote lymphatic drainage, and increase absorption of the products you use, all while providing a relaxing, spa-like experience.

Layer Your Skincare Products: Apply them in the correct order to maximize the benefits of your skincare products. Start with the lightest (like serums) and finish with the heaviest (such as moisturizers). This ensures that each product is fully absorbed and can work its magic on your skin.

Double Cleanse: This can ensure your skin is thoroughly cleansed and prepped for your skincare routine. You can do this by starting with a botanical cleanser, then follow with an alcohol free facial toner to remove any remaining makeup or impurities. This gives you a clean canvas so your skin can best absorb your creams and serums and allow them to work their magic.

Pat, Don't Rub: When applying skincare products, especially around the delicate eye area, gently pat or tap the product into your skin using your fingertips. This helps to prevent tugging and pulling that can lead to fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Embrace a Holistic Approach: Your skincare routine is one aspect of achieving radiant, youthful skin. Incorporate a holistic approach by addressing your overall health and well-being, such as getting enough sleep, reducing stress, maintaining a balanced diet, and exercising regularly.

Keep It Simple: Don't overload your skin. Stick to a simple, streamlined skincare routine featuring high-quality products. If you are using multiple products, use one set at night and another in the morning for maximum benefits. This allows your skin to reap the full benefits of each product.
