Ever wondered how to really make your skin look beautifully flawless and healthy? How you can look fresh and dewy, even when you have been up early or had a few late nights? There is a very simple answer. The secret to Gorgeous glowing skin that all the stars and models know is – Hydration.

Follow these 7 easy steps:

• Use a milky cleanser instead of facewash to keep your skin supple. Avene and Caudalie skincare is fantastic
• Use an alcohol-free toner to remove any greasiness. Or just splash your face with cold water to close the pores
• Follow with a hydrating moisturiser for your skin type
• Exfoliate regularly to remove any dead skin cells and smooth complexion, try Sanctuary’s Radiant Skin Exfoliator, or Clinique’s pore miminizer thermal-active skin refiner
• If you have dry skin, use a moisturising foundation eg. Stila Illuminating Liquid Foundation or Becca Luminous Skin Colour Foundation. Or, use a tinted moisturize for a lighter finish eg. Bobbi Brown’s Extra Tinted Balm SPF25 is especially formulated for dry skin.
• If there is any shine, lightly powder your forehead, nose and chin. Never powder the cheeks, this way they’ll stay dewy. If, however, the skin looks dry, take a dab of rich face cream, warm it up by rubbing it between your palms and lightly pat it onto your skin.
• Top Tip: Drink lots of water!
