Good habits to adopt
Having a radiant complexion is first and foremost a healthy lifestyle, but it also involves a good diet and the use of specific facial treatments.
Go to bed early to prepare your skin to recharge its batteries
Sleep is the key to a rested complexion. In the evening, avoid screens and opt for calmer activities like reading or some relaxation exercises.
A radiant menu for a luminous complexion
Regarding diet, a radiant complexion also requires good hydration, so you need to drink enough water. We opt for foods that give a healthy glow, rich in beta-carotene such as carrots, apricots, mangoes, and papaya which naturally give color and a healthy glow to the skin. We also opt for foods rich in vitamin C such as citrus fruits, kiwi, bell peppers or broccoli. Finally, fruits rich in antioxidants like berries are also recommended for a radiant complexion. On the other hand, we will avoid alcohol which dilates the blood vessels and can leave permanent marks on the skin. We also avoid processed foods and foods too rich in sugars, too fatty they tend to promote the appearance of imperfections on your skin.
We relieve stress
To relieve stress and boost your body, there's nothing like exercising by running, swimming, or doing activities like boxing and Pilates. The key? Clear your head!
What beauty routine for a radiant complexion?
Start by cleansing your skin to rid it of harmful toxins and impurities using micellar water. Continue with a facial scrub to remove toxins and eliminate dead skin cells. Then, opt for a face mask to give tired skin a boost and boost its radiance.
Treatments that restore light and radiance to the skin
For an instantly more beautiful complexion, choose the Sleeping Masque Éclat night mask, which fights signs of fatigue by acting during sleep, when the skin is most receptive to the benefits of skincare. When you wake up, your complexion is fresh and luminous, your skin appears smoothed and visibly rested, just like after a good night's sleep!
Finally, opt for specific skincare products to enhance the complexion's radiance to keep your skin fresh and luminous.
