Expensive healthy glow

[Vividdreaming]

I’m sure this has been touched on in the ‘How to look expensive threads’ but I thought it would be interesting.

If you know people have that healthy glow or if you have it yourself. How do you get it?

Is it a money thing or is it a mentality of looking after yourself?

I think I’m doomed on this as however much glow I get seems to be cancelled out by the fact I have so many freckles so I never look polished, I wish every day that I never went in the sun as a child.

If it helps, my skin has fallen off a cliff since I turned 46 😢 Glow and firmness are a thing of the past. Think I'm going to have to ditch the sugar next 😢😢😢😢😢

Ruggy, don't despair, it is the worst time of year!

The winter light is cold and harsh
Our skin is dehydrated from central heating
We lack vitamin D
Not enough fresh seasonal food around
Comfort eating stodge

I always look worst in Jan and Feb!

RuggyPeg very boring celebs, Will Young and Russel Howard, but they sure did glow.
(And your skin looks great)

Hyaluronic acid plumps up your skin and I'm sure I read on here you can get it injected now.

Dr - freckles are gorgeous though!

I’ve really only started looking after my skin properly in the last 6 months or so. I just didn’t have the disposable income to do it before and was literally washing my face with baking sofa and water

I’ve attached a photo of one product I’m loving. I’ve seen real results with this serum even after the first application and can’t wait to try some of the other products in the range. Even my DP, the least observant person in the world, noticed my skin was better after a few days.

Just to add I’m using this as an alternative to retinol products as I’m breastfeeding.

Baking soda

Wh...wh.....whyyyyy were you washing your face with bicarb?!

Yeh not exactly ideal, I remember googling it, it is actually a ‘thing’ some people do and I wanted something that was exfoliating never again though. It seemed better than buying a very cheap cleanser at the time that would completely strip my skin as I didn’t have any moisturiser either (we were totally broke).

So seems I’ve upped my skincare game significantly since then.

I’m using the product I showed above which is amazing! The skinceuticals vitamin C serum. Alpha H liquid gold as well as a cleanser and moisturiser from the same range (wouldn’t repurchase the cleanser and moisturiser though). I’ve just got some Korean toners, sunscreen and an overnight mask as well which are all great.

So my skin has definitely improved but still has a long way to go. I’m thinking about some kind of treatments but don’t know where to start

Thanks for this Ahoy! I'm going to treat myself on pay day to a mini Ole Henriksen set from Boots.

@TheHodgeoftheHedge
Yay! Please report back on the products you get and if you like them. I could not love the glow serum anymore than I do. I’d ummed and ahhed over it for awhile because it’s not cheap but so glad I purchased it!

I'm going to throw my hat in the ring here and add Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter, and IT Cosmetics CC cream. They really do produce a glow.

Flawless filter is, I agree, amazing.

A week skiing helps.

My mini Ole Henriksen set has arrived! I'll let you know how I get on.

bought this and adding it to my tinted moisturiser seems to make me look very dewey, or like i am in a science fiction show, i haven't quite decided.
