Glowy stuff for fiftysomething face

I did a Yes to mask today and it made me realise I need more glowiness!

Great mask but they're not cheap and I want something I can use everyday. A cream or serum with a similar effect.

Any recommendations?

I too seek this holy grail. Standing with you OP, in hope.

The mask is brilliant but not sure how long the glow will last (I only did it a couple of hours ago) but I want to have this every day!!

Woooo I’m going to follow on, waiting with high hopes for someone to come along with their magic glow wand!

Charlotte Tilbury has loads of glowy stuff, have a Google and if you go to one of their concessions in a department store they'll glow you up

I want a moisturiser or serum type thing not make up I think.

Try the aromatherapy associates overnight mask -I leave it on all night & think it’s great - on offer on Amazon.

Goodness the AA stuff is bargain cheap on Amazon - face oils too. Is it genuine?!

I really like the Ren glycolactic mask as o think it gives a nice, longer lasting glow. It can tingle on application but I have sensitive skin and have had no problems with it

100% up your hydration! Makes a huge difference.

An LED mask can also make a giant change, I love mine. It's a noticeable difference but is £££ so depends what you're up for spending!

Skincare wise a good toner and hyaluronic acid is something that I find makes my skin look very plump. You can get a good hyaluronic from the ordinary or beauty pie for a good price that lasts for ages - I personally love the beauty pie one.

Which yes to mask did u use?

I use Tret, Vit C and SPF. I’m glowing more than ever.

WRT to make up, look at Nars primers, Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood filter and Dior primers. TBH the best glow I get is when I use Trilogy Rosehip oil under my moisturiser.

Yes - I bought it after seeing on a mumsnet email & thought worth a try.

Im new to more then basic skincare ( aged 59 ) and tbh ANYTHING im using which is more then Nivea is showing results

Right now a Vit C serum, a collagen serum and a niacimide serum are working well for me, with just a bog standard moisturiser

Im not blowing my own trumpet, but I usually get some sort of compliment daily ( im a waitress ) such as "have you changed your hair : have you been in the sun/? Just theres something about me that people are seeing and cant put a finger on. I wear very little when it comes to cosmetics, a light foundation , a wee bit of blush and a tad of bronzer this time of year

The healthy glow is skin care

I exfoliate when I remember which helps and wear this

Oh dear I fell down an AA rabbit hole on amazon after reading this thread last night!
I hope it likes my skin!

Elf Halo Glow Liquid Filter or the Collection alternative.
