Winter skin and radiance don’t often go hand in hand, but when you’re gifted with a little beauty knowhow, glowing skin is never that far away. Arm yourself with a few brightness-boosting skincare products to enhance all that awesome knowledge and you can’t fail to get your glow on, fast!
Here are five simple ways to master radiant skin this winter… and beyond!
Splashing your face with cool water might not be top of your priority list when it’s -5 outside, but this is a great way to calm irritation, reduce puffiness and give your skin a real lift.
How so? Well, cool temperatures cause the tiny blood vessels in your skin to narrow which helps boost circulation for a gorgeous, albeit temporary glow.
Cleanse with lukewarm water first, using your fingers and hands to massage Crystal Cleanser into your face and neck for a minute or so. Rinse with lukewarm water and a face cloth before braving a final splash of cool water at the end. Trust us, this really does work!
P.S: Our Crystal Cleanser is packed with skin-loving ingredients to no only remove bacteria and dirt build up but nourishes and softens your skin at the same time!
Need To Know: Unlike some facial cleansers that dry out your skin with harsh chemicals and artificial fragrances, Crystal Cleanser has been lovingly created to care for and treat your skin as it gently cleanses. Packed with plant-based oils, vitamin E and moisture-enhancing glycerin it’s the ideal pick-me-up for preparing and re-energising your skin for some festive fun.
Finding the right toner is critical here. Be careful of skin stripping harsh chemicals and opt for gentle and natural, like Diamond Toner. Ideal for whisking away remnants of cleanser while boosting your skin with effective active ingredients to hydrate, moisturise, protect and revive your skin.
And our Diamond Toner is packed with aloe vera to soothe, glycerin to hydrate and the mighty vitamin C which is one of the most studied and best ingredients for enhancing your glow – more on that in a minute…
After cleansing, simply spritz a couple of times over your face and neck and allow to settle. You will feel instantly refreshed too!
Dead skin cells that hang around at the surface will rob your skin of smoothness and radiance. This is why regular exfoliation – which helps slough away those hard-to-shift dead cells – is oh so important.
But! And it’s a BIG but – exfoliation needs to be carried out carefully, otherwise you could end up with irritated skin, rather than the soft, glowing complexion you’d hoped for.
Our Natural Luminosity Scrub is kind enough to be used every day, full of natural ingredients and tiny particles you barely know are there.
Cleanse your skin with Crystal Cleanser and then massage Natural Luminosity Scrub gently into damp skin for a minute or so. Rinse thoroughly and finish with a skin-boosting cool rinse for that extra glowy edge.
Pro Tip: For a deep skin detox to draw out impurities to further boost your radiance, introduce a regular natural face mask. We've created Natural Element Clay Mask especially for regular use. You won't believe the difference in your skin after just ten minutes!
If you’re looking for a really good brightening ingredient to add to your routine, then look no further than the absolute hero of the skincare world: vitamin C.
Vitamin C not only promotes collagen synthesis which is super important for strong, healthy skin, but it also protects your skin from free radical damage and disrupts melanin production to help reduce the appearance of dark spots and uneven skin tone. Yes, it’s THAT good!
And that's why you’ll find vitamin C across many of our formulations, including Imperial Moisturiser, Pre-Eminent Beauty Serum and our incredible Natural Organic Age-Defying Facial Oil. A particular favourite for boosting radiance with vitamin C-rich, plant-based botanicals. Apply it before bed after Night Elixir and you’re guaranteed to wake up to brighter morning skin!
Instead of spending precious time applying and blending foundation onto your beautifully prep'd HIGHBORN skin, try Organic Tinted Moisturiser with SPF 25.
It's the ideal way to add a little extra va-va-voom to your skin. It infuses your skin with nutrients, antioxidant protection and long-lasting moisturisation while leaving you with a subtle, dewy glow. Lifting your complexion without the need for heavy foundation! Hurragh!
What’s more, it’s available in four adaptive shades and is super lightweight so won’t block your pores.
Technique: Smooth a thin layer all over your face and neck, working from the centre of your face out, taking care to blend it around your nose and jawline. Allow to settle.
Top Tip! Organic Tinted Moisturiser with SPF 25 is easily buildable to achieve your desired look. If you prefer more coverage, allow the first layer to settle then apply a second, thin layer. You can even just target pesky dark spots or pimples with extra coverage.
