Want your skin to look fresh and radiant as you enter into the new year? Keep reading as Lionesse shares some top tips that will guarantee a gorgeous glow!
Give Your Skin an Extra Cleanse
You’re probably aware that cleansing should be the very first thing that you do before applying any other skincare products. If you don’t cleanse, your products won’t be able to sink into your skin properly due to the sebum, dirt, and other impurities that are coating your skin’s surface. This will lead to your skin looking dull and rough – the opposite of the glow you’re seeking!
While a single cleanse is usually sufficient, giving your skin an extra, second cleanse can have its advantages. Coined as double cleansing, this K-beauty technique involves starting with an oil-based cleanser to remove oil-based impurities before moving on to a water-based cleanser, like the Lionesse White Pearl Facial Cleanser, to clear away water-based impurities. It ensures a much more thorough cleanse that will leave your skin feeling even fresher.
Exfoliate Gently
Just like cleansing, exfoliation is a great way to instantly refresh your complexion. Not only does exfoliation remove dead skin cells but it will also draw out blockages from within your pores. This will immediately give your skin a brighter and smoother finish.
With this in mind, you may be tempted to opt for a powerful exfoliator in an attempt to boost your glow for your new year celebrations. However, this could be a big mistake. If you end up over-exfoliating your skin, which can easily happen if you use an overly powerful exfoliator, you’ll only end up with an irritated and inflamed complexion.
Instead, keep it gentle. You don’t need to go overboard with exfoliation to see results. This is especially the case if you’re double cleansing first. Pick a formula like the Lionesse White Pearl Facial Peeling and your skin will look illuminated without feeling sensitive.
Illuminate With a Mask
While many people view face masks as an indulgent treat, they can actually be an excellent tool for giving your complexion a boost. They work quickly, usually providing visible results as soon as they’ve been removed.
Which mask should you opt for if your aim is to ring in the new year with a glow? The Lionesse Diamond Rejuvenation Facial and Eye Mask would be one good option. It’s an intensely hydrating sheet mask that boasts the likes of hyaluronic acid and algae extract. It also contains ingredients that will give your skin a softer and more elastic feel.
Another option would be the Lionesse Black Onyx Mask. This is a great one to go for if your skin has been looking dull and lackluster. The kaolin clay in this mask will draw out excess sebum from your skin, with this encouraged by the mask’s heating effect. This then makes it easier for the other ingredients in the mask to sink in. With those consisting of a blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and hydrating compounds, your skin will look rejuvenated as soon as you rinse the mask off.
Try Moisture Sandwiching
The key to glowing skin is moisture. The more hydrated your skin cells are, the plumper and more voluminous they look. This, in turn, will leave the surface of your skin looking smoother, firmer, and bouncier. It will also reflect light more efficiently, hence the radiant glow that perfectly hydrated skin always sports!
There are plenty of ways to ramp up your skin’s hydration levels. However, one technique that has become increasingly popular lately is moisture sandwiching. This involves applying multiple layers of lightweight hydrating products to your skin. Each new layer will help to seal in the previous one, pushing all of that moisture into your skin.
If you’d like to give this a try, we’d recommend starting with the Lionesse White Pearl Skin Toner. It’s packed with hydrating ingredients, as well as several that leave the skin feeling restored and rebalanced. Then, follow up with the Lionesse Morganite Transforming Serum. It contains some of the most loved hydrating ingredients around, including sodium hyaluronate and a duo of peptides. Finally, sandwich that serum in with the Opal Sheer Collagen Serum. It contains yet another array of hydrating ingredients, quenching even the thirstiest of complexions!
Turn to Vitamin C
There are several ingredients out there that are effective at increasing radiance and giving the complexion a brighter finish. However, vitamin C is known for being one of the best. Numerous studies have backed up the ability of this ingredient to lighten the look of dark spots and discoloration while giving the skin a more luminescent quality. It does so much else for the skin too, from minimizing the visibility of wrinkles to helping with skin hydration. It’s an ingredient well worth adding to your skincare routine, especially if you want to glow as the new year comes in!
How should you do this? The fastest way to soak up the beneficial properties of this powerful antioxidant is with a serum. Due to how lightweight serums are, they’re able to work their way into the skin’s surface faster. With that said, not all vitamin C serums are equal…
Ideally, you want a vitamin C serum that contains a form of vitamin C that has been proven to be stable yet effective, just like the Lionesse White Pearl Vitamin C Serum. This formula makes use of 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid. It provides all of the benefits we mentioned above yet doesn’t irritate the skin in the way that other vitamin C derivatives can.
Know How to Instantly De-Puff the Look of Your Eye Area
Puffy eyes can quickly ruin the glow you’re hoping to achieve for the start of the new year. Unfortunately, with the festive period often being synonymous with late nights, puffy eyes can sometimes be the norm at this time of year!
While placing cucumber slices or chilled tea bags over your eyes can help, one way to instantly banish the look of puffiness is with the Lionesse Diamond De-Puffer. This special solution has been specifically formulated to smooth away the appearance of puffy eye bags and give the skin around the eyes a firmer and tighter finish. Better yet, it will also help to diminish the look of crow’s feet and other eye wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful complexion overall!
Invest in the Lionesse White Pearl Wrinkle Reducing Syringe
While the Diamond De-Puffer is a great product for smoothing away the look of bags and lines around your eyes, what about the rest of your face? Sure, there’s nothing wrong with having wrinkles but they can sometimes have the effect of reducing your skin’s natural radiance. The smoother the surface of your skin is, the better it will reflect light. Therefore, the brighter it will glow!
So, if you really want to look luminous for your New Year festivities, invest in the Lionesse White Pearl Wrinkle Reducing Syringe. It features an advanced blend of ingredients that will give you younger-looking skin in seconds. These high-performance compounds, which include acetyl hexapeptide-8, DMAE, and hyaluronic acid, are famous for their fast-acting effects.
What makes this product even better is that if you use it regularly in the new year, it will help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the long run too. It contains a number of antioxidants that will work to fight the visibility of free radical damage, leaving you with healthier-looking skin.
Don’t Forget About Your Neck
While your glow-seeking efforts may be focused on your face, it’s important that you don’t neglect your neck. If your neck looks dull and drab, it will detract from the glow that radiates from your face!
Fortunately, giving your neck the care it needs is easy. All you need to do is bring all of your facial skincare products down to your neck when applying them. From cleansers and exfoliators to masks, serums, and creams, give your neck the same love and care that you show to your face.
Of course, with the skin on the neck being so prone to wrinkles and other visible skin concerns, you may want to give it some extra TLC. Fortunately, there are plenty of neck-specific skincare products out there to help with this. The Lionesse Diamond Neck & Face Lift Cream is one. It’s slightly richer than facial moisturizers, which is important since the skin on the neck is so thin and fragile. Not only will it leave this area looking firmer and more lifted but it will also give your neck an illuminated finish that will have your face looking even more radiant.
Clean Your Makeup Brushes Before Use
Planning on wearing makeup for your New Year celebrations? There’s nothing wrong with this…so long as you’re using clean makeup brushes!
One mistake that so many make is neglecting to clean their makeup brushes on a regular basis. While you don’t need to do this after each use, you should definitely be giving them a clean every week or so.
What happens if you don’t? You’ll basically be applying a layer of dead skin, bacteria, and oil onto your face. Not only will this leave you with clogged pores, meaning that you could find yourself dealing with breakouts at the start of the new year, but it will also give your skin a dull and uneven finish.
If you haven’t cleaned your makeup brushes in a while, make an effort to do so before getting ready for your new year plans. Your makeup will look much smoother and more natural, enabling you to glow even brighter!
Summary
New Year celebrations are worth putting some extra effort into, and the tips that we’ve shared above will help you to do just that. Incorporate as many as possible while you’re prepping your skin for the night ahead and you’ll be able to bring in 2025 looking beautifully radiant!
