Dewy skin has long been considered the epitome of beauty. From Cleopatra to today’s Hollywood stars, dewy complexions reflect health without appearing oily or dry.

Start off on the path towards dewy complexion with a consistent skincare routine and healthy diet, including proper hydration, exfoliation and selecting suitable makeup products.

1. Drink Plenty of Water

Dewy skin looks radiant, hydrated and glowy–not oily. Achieve this trendy beauty look can be difficult for those with dry skin; however, with the right skincare routine and makeup hacks you can achieve dewy complexion that looks healthy without looking oily or flat.

Start on your path to dewy skin by adopting a thorough skin care routine, drinking plenty of water and maintaining an overall healthy diet and lifestyle with plenty of exercise, regular stress reduction strategies and adopting an anti-stress program. Our Vital Skin-Strengthening Hyaluronic Acid Super Serum features 11kDa hyaluronic acid molecules which penetrate deep into skin layers for maximum hydration and radiance benefits.

Once your skin has been cleansed and exfoliated, it is crucial that a light moisturizer be applied that won’t weigh down its complexion. If you have sensitive skin, look for one with PHAs instead of AHAs as this will avoid harsh exfoliation that could cause redness or irritation.

As always, sunscreen should always be worn throughout the day–even on cloudy or rainy days–to protect skin against UV rays that could otherwise damage its barrier function, leading to uneven skin tone, dryness, fine lines/wrinkles/dark spots.

After applying moisturizer, apply a shimmery highlighter to the cheekbones and brow bones to give a healthy sheen. Or try our Date Night Tint, for subtle yet natural-looking lip and cheek tint that lasts all day long. Finally, don’t forget the Pelfry setting spray as an insurance against makeup melting or caking up during application!

2. Exfoliate Regularly

An alluring dewy complexion has long been desired since Cleopatra first set foot on earth. While most people associate dewy skin with shimmery primers and glittery highlighters, true dewiness lies within a skincare regimen with healthy habits and products tailored specifically for that look.

Exfoliation should be part of a regular skincare regimen, using products like Firm Skin Acai Exfoliating Scrub which are both gentle yet effective in their exfoliating capabilities. Regular exfoliating with something like this scrub will remove dead skin cells from your face, leaving it looking refreshed and brightened. Furthermore, exfoliation allows other skincare products to penetrate better into the skin, as well as helping diminish fine lines and wrinkles over time.

Hyaluronic acid should also be part of your skin care routine; this water-attracting molecule holds 1,000 times its own weight in moisture, helping keep skin hydrated and plumped up for that dewy glow.

Essential for glowing skin is a lightweight, absorbent moisturizer that’s non-greasy or sticky, such as one containing shea butter for dry skin and to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. A good moisturizer will also contain essential oils like jasmine oil (with soothing properties), lavender oil (anti-inflammatory effects) or rosehip seed oil (an anti-aging benefit).

Make sure to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect the skin from harmful UV rays that can cause sun spots, dark marks and premature aging. Choose an SPF 30+ sunscreen product with antioxidants as it will provide additional defense against free radicals that damage cells in the skin.

3. Apply a Moisturizer

Additionally to drinking enough water and applying a moisturizer tailored specifically for your skin type every time you wash is key to creating dewy complexion. Aim for lightweight formula that won’t bloat up makeup; one with brightening ingredients such as Glow Recipe Niacinamide Dew Drops may help provide additional benefits by helping dullness disappear faster.

Cleanse your face twice daily to maintain healthy and radiant skin, without over-cleansing, which can dry it out and dull its glow. Instead, gently cleanse with a mild cleanser in circular motions. Exfoliating scrubs or face washes containing physical scrubbers are better as these can damage the skin barrier more than gently cleansers can – they could make getting that dewy glow more challenging than expected!

An effective facial toner can give your complexion that extra boost of radiance and dewiness, just make sure to choose a mild one that won’t be too drying, such as one containing AHAs or PHAs that are gentler on the skin than other exfoliating ingredients like glycolic acids or salicylic acids. Look for products such as La Roche-Posay Hydrating Toner that also nourish its barrier function like this one.

If you want the dewy makeup look without looking too sparkly, try applying a thin layer of illuminating powder to your cheeks for a natural radiance. Or opt for highlighters with less glitter for more of an organic effect.

4. Apply a Sunscreen

Kaytlin recommends this serum to achieve dewy, healthy-looking skin. Packed with ultra-hydrating hyaluronic acid and nourishing squalane for soft, radiant skin, it also features 11kDa hyaluronic acid to penetrate up to eight layers deep for plumping out fine lines and fine wrinkles. Use one pea-size amount under foundation or as an extra dewy boost by mixing one drop in with your preferred foundation or primer!

Applying sunscreen with broad spectrum SPF protection is also crucial to protecting the complexion from UV rays that cause sun damage, which is one of the major contributors to dullness as well as signs of aging such as wrinkles, brown spots, and lines. This step should especially be considered during summer months when sunlight may be more intense.

Diet is also essential in attaining dewy, healthy skin. Aim to consume a well-rounded diet including fruits and vegetables as well as healthy fats (such as avocado, mackerel and flax seeds are excellent sources), plus foods high in omega 3 fatty acids like avocado or mackerel as these will protect against free radical damage; antioxidant-rich blueberries or papaya help shield the body against free radical damage as well. Try to limit sugar-laden products as these can contribute to inflammation and breakouts; reduce stress levels too for best results – this could positively impact both overall health as well as skin!

Making time to achieve dewy, glowing skin is an investment in your appearance. By following a proper skincare routine and selecting appropriate products, you can transform dull and flaky complexions into radiant ones!

5. Apply Makeup

Dewy skin is an irresistibly stunning makeup look that emphasizes hydration over matte. While products like shimmery primers, luminous foundations, and glittery highlighters may play a part in attaining dewy skin, glowing complexion starts with good skincare practices like L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Derm Intensives 10% Pure Vitamin C Serum can do wonders in creating this look; regular exfoliation also plays an essential part.

One way to create a dewy complexion is with a lightweight moisturizer that absorbs quickly into the skin without looking oily. For maximum dewiness, look for creams containing hyaluronic acid which can plump skin while leaving behind a radiant sheen – experts advise applying your hydrating formula while your face is still damp from cleansing and toning.

Complete your look with a dewy-looking highlighter that isn’t too glittery, such as Christina Sikalias Beauty Luce Del Sole Illuminating Highlighter ($58 at MECCA). This product provides subtle skin-shimmering properties.

As the final step of your makeup application, use a setting spray or mist to set your makeup and protect it from melting, fading and caking. According to expert makeup artist Pelfrey, using setting spray will also help tone down shine in certain areas so it appears more purposeful.https://www.youtube.com/embed/mcdzYrQRWJs
