This week I’d like to share how to get luminous skin on a daily basis!  Because I’m not genetically gifted when it comes to my skin I have to work hard to fake it.   I drink plenty of water and soup to keep my skin hydrated.  In terms of skincare, I apply a facial mask once a week and exfoliate twice a week.  I also moisturize my face every day and apply night cream at night.  I think this routine is pretty similar to most women.  My secret to that luminous glow attributed to two affordable products: Nuance BB cream ($11.24) and L’oreal Paris Magic Lumi Primer ($13).

Here’s what I do on a daily bais:

1. Wash and apply Vitamin C serum (I’ve been using the Lumene Vitamin C and wrote a review about it here).  Let the serum sit on my face for a few minutes so that my skin can absorb the vitamin C.
2. Apply a mix of 2 parts luminizing cream to 1 part BB cream all over as base.
3. Apply foundation.  I use Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation.
4. Apply blush and then the luminizer to cheeks, blending upward to temples.
5. Then finish the look with mascara and lipstick.

I follow steps 1 & 2 every morning religiously.  If I need to do errands and don’t have time to put on my makeup all I need to do is apply lipstick and still look decent when I’m out in public.  I love to hear what you do to get your skin glowing!
