How To Brighten Your Face

To give your face luminosity every day, the most important thing is to know well what the needs of your skin type are. The better you inform yourself about what your skin needs and why, the better decisions you can make when it comes to taking care of it and making it look spectacular.

The person who can best advise you on this is the dermatologist. You can also consult with the pharmacist, for specific questions.

Once you know what you should do on a daily basis, you can consider the following options that we will discuss to give your face luminosity. It is a series of homemade accessories for your beauty and care routine.

Toners for a glowing face

The following tonics are made from commonly used natural ingredients, such as chamomile. They help to refresh the skin, calm it, cleanse it and give it luminosity. 

And when can you apply a refreshing toner? After removing make-up and washing the skin, after washing the face during sports and before going to sleep, for example.

1. Iced Chamomile Tonic

Due to its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, chamomile is an ingredient that can be useful when making a homemade tonic. To get down to work, you just have to prepare the classic infusion as follows:

• Fill a cup with water and put it to heat in the microwave for a couple of minutes, until it reaches a boiling point.

• Take the mug out of the microwave and carefully insert two bags of chamomile (or a tablespoon, if you bought it in bulk).
• Cover the cup and let the drink infuse for about 5 minutes.
• Uncover and place in the freezer for half an hour (or more).
• Pour the liquid into a spray bottle.
• Start using every time you need it!

2. Horsetail tonic

Instead of chamomile, you can use horsetail to make a refreshing toner. Horsetail contains silicon, an element that has been associated with the renewal of collagen in the skin.

Tips to brighten your face

As we mentioned before, in order to show off beautiful, healthy and luminous skin, it is important that you know how to take care of it. And it should be noted that this is not only about washing it with soap and water and applying a moisturizer, but about issues as essential as a good diet.

María Teresa Alcalde (pharmacist), comments that: “poor diet has an enormous influence on the general state of the body and, therefore, also on the skin.” So make sure you eat a healthy diet. Minimize your consumption of industrial groceries, junk and the like.

The snacks bag, pastries, sweets, milk chocolate, soft drinks, flavored waters, sugary teas and many other similar products are harmful to health in general and can affect the image of the skin.

On the other hand, Alcalde recommends prioritizing hydration. This is because consuming enough water throughout the day contributes to multiple processes at the dermatological level.

Other measures you can take to brighten your face have to do with applying makeup.

Before applying the foundation, it would be recommended that you wash your face well with soap and water and apply a light moisturizer or lotion. Then, you can now proceed to make up as such.

On the other hand, it is worth noting that professional makeup artists do not recommend applying several thick layers of product and, in general, they indicate that excesses should be avoided when applying any product. Therefore, make sure to apply only the necessary amounts and to spread them correctly so as not to give the feeling of heaviness.

The wrong application of makeup can make the skin look withered and lifeless, so it is very important to have a good routine. Likewise, it is worth washing and drying the brushes, brushes, sponges and other utensils that are used. Ideally, no more than 10 days should pass to do it.

In short, by maintaining good lifestyle habits, you can give your face luminosity and look spectacular even in nature.
