Wash with dew: How to achieve the effect of "wet skin"
Text: Moore Sobolev, author of the telegram channel Fierce & Cute
The entire beauty industry is finally obsessed with radiance. - even on the T-zone, which previously preferred to powder, now apply a highlighter. The skin is so smooth that it reflects the light, it happens only in small children - so that all adults who dream of it will have to tinker. We explain how to achieve the desired effect if you are no longer a child and do not have the habit of glowing from within.
Care
A favorite ingredient of manufacturers that produce caring lines for radiant skin is vitamin C: it regulates melanin production and reduces hyperpigmentation. Like vitamin C, ferulic, nicotinic, and kojic acid are primarily antioxidants, but their list of numerous properties includes bleaching and skin tone smoothing. Another forerunner of the aurora is retinol: retinoids are usually referred to as "anti-aging" ingredients, because they trigger the cell renewal mechanisms - due to this, even tone is achieved. By the way, the natural side effect of skin renewal is increased photosensitivity. In other words, do not forget about Sanskrin, if you do not want all efforts to go to pieces.
For cases when you need to shine quickly and confidently, there are instant means for every taste - mainly masks that contain AHA-acids or all the same vitamin C. Radiance cannot be achieved without exfoliation: the skin may look dull due to the large number of dead cells on its surface, which, moreover, do not pass the caring means into the epidermis. Softer and more effective, you can peel the skin with acids or enzymes. Clay masks with acids work great: skin is fresh and the effect of renewal is visible to the naked eye.
Tonal means
The best novelties among the tonal foundations are not at all matte: they do not harden with a mask and do not even turn into powder, but work for the effect of vibrant, radiant skin. If you are not used to it, you can powder or blot the T-zone with a matting cloth a few hours after application. Most of the Cushion funds fall on the face with a shining, slightly damp layer. Another fashionable effect is “frosted glow”: this paradoxical formulation is intended to explain what a slightly powdered, but still light-reflecting skin looks like.
Highlighters
Liquid gymnastics are best suited for the “gym skin” impact effect and the most natural glow: they can be mixed with a tonal tool or applied to all prominent points of the face (not only on the cheekbones, but also on the back of the nose, on the lip, and on the center). chin). Another option is powder with reflective particles: it can be applied without false modesty on the whole face. Why be ashamed of their brilliance?
