1. Luminosity
For many women, glowing skin comes from a compact. But it's possible to to achieve a radiance that doesn't wash off with soap and water. The first step is to understand why the face in your mirror looks dull. "When skin is clean and smooth, it reflects light evenly and appears luminous." But dry, scaly skin "reflects light in a more chaotic way." To remedy a blah complexion, slather on a rich moisturizer morning and night, and use a weekly exfoliant with ingredients that encourage cell turnover. "The best formulas contain retinols, which are effective at sweeping awat the dead surface cells and buildup that lead to dullness."
QUICK FIX Smooth on a skin brightening serum before applying your usual day cream. We like Brightening Correcting Serum, which dimishes the appearance of dark spots and discoloration while illuminating your complexion.
OUR SALON OFFER If your skin is truly lackluster, a quick inoffice resurfacing treatment like microdermabrasion or a chemical peel could perk it up. You may need multiple sessions.
