to ask how to get such luminous skin?

[luminescentskin]

I was in a supermarket a while ago and I saw a young woman with the most glowing/luminous skin I have ever seen. She was not wearing any make up. It did not look like she was wearing any 'product' on it either if that makes sense. Her skin almost glittered. I have honestly never seen skin like it.

Has anyone else seen anything like that? How could I get such glowing skin? (without makeup because it just would not look natural). TIA

I had comments about this when younger.
I'm olive skinned and always moisturise.
That's it really.
It could well be youth 😂 and genes x

Where can I buy that? Is there a specific brand I should buy from?

She could have been. She did not look it though.

Glossier future dew

@Livedandlearned do you mind saying which collagen supplement brand you use?

Not everyone has good skin at 20-22, but many do, so age might be the biggest factor in this case. I think after that it is a bit of a lottery of (in order, and just my opinion) a) genes (by far the biggest factor if you discount age) b) weight c) what you do to yourself (sleep, water, food, impact of sun, smoking, alcohol, stress) d) what you apply to yourself (cremes, "interventions" etc). I think some CC creams can be quite effective (estee lauder's revitalising CC creme is very good and "dewy and natural" but it is £44) finding the right foundation that matches your skin is probably very helpful. x

@El13 what is a booster?

It's Solgar, you can get it from Holland & Barrett on subscription for a good price or direct from Solgar.

I also had one from Just Vitamins that was pretty good.

Also a nice cleanse and thick moisturiser before bed helps.

I think my skin glows and I rarely wear makeup.

I use lots of hydrating products, never had spots, Tret at night, vit c morning, Spf 50 since my mid twenties. Lots of water and healthy low processed diet.

I had profhilio and after two weeks my skin was like glass and really glowy

too bad it hurt like hell and you need to keep having it at £300 a pop

I would consider it again though for a special event

Also the hot flushes bring a certain glow!

@TheFormidableMrsC my first thoughts too 😂😂

I get compliments, re my skin and I can not rate dermatologica highly enough- had about 4 angry spots in various places constantly through adulthood, until 5 years ago when I started it

For brightness i love niacinamide serum - the ordinary do this.

Japan infusion is also good from beauty pie.

I do sport daily and if I wear makeup (often don't) I use the beauty pie tinted moisturiser which has good coverage but is glowy.

Always use factor 50 sun cream on face and 30 everywhere else

Oh and I have a lot of protein and collagen in supplement form ( warrior protein water)

I get complimented a fair amount and like other posters I drink lots of water, look after my skin and have lots of veg and good fats. However I am generally wearing very lightweight primer/base that people think I’m not wearing makeup. I look much better with it

Tretinoin. It's been got a name, the 'tret glow'. I'm almost 40 and get complimented on my skin a lot

Or MAC Strobe Cream

Tretinoin? I’m 41 and my skin is way more glowey than it was at 20. Here is me with no make up. It’s a fucking wonder product

oh i like the idea of windows open , but even in cold months ? Don't you get sick ? freezing in January, i'd defo get sick

Jumping on to ask the skincare babes - what products do you use? What’s a good retinol for a beginner with dry/sensitive skin!?

Mine is better than it ever has been- I’d never had compliments before using London Road.
Lots of water, windows open and mainly vegan diet. Low, not underweight bmi. Not even perimenopausal at 55.

Yeah whenever my skin is surprisingly looking nice and plump I always jump on the scales to find out why…..

The only thing I’ve noticed that gives a noticeable ethereal glow is sunscreen. I also use vitamin C (am) and tret (pm) but I think my skin looks no different until my sunscreen’s on.

Some might call it ‘white cast’ but I have a mineral sunscreen that once rubbed in makes my skin look….pearlescent, especially if I put quite a lot on.

I think the woman you saw was wearing makeup if you noticed her. There are very subtle highlighters now that amaze me.

No, never, I've done it my whole life.
I like to be in a cold bedroom under a warm feather duvet. I think it keeps illnesses at bay actually.
