Skin looking a little lackluster lately? We got you. Ofc, it takes at least a month to see real results, but there are some tricks and tools that can help boost skin health and radiance in a week and a half, and we’re sharing them below. Consistency is key, so keep with it daily. Who wants in?
Here are the four steps to improve your skin in 10 days:
1. Gua sha
Your cheekbones aren’t going to contour themselves, and makeup can only go so far. Use your gua sha to highlight your cheeks and jawline while penetrating ingredients in serums deeply into the skin. Plus, it helps with lymphatic drainage (puffy morning-face be gone!).
2. Retinol
If you don’t already know the benefits of retinol for anti-aging then read up on it here. Retinol is a concentrated form of vitamin A, and if implemented into your beauty routine, it can be a skin savior (think: complexion and texture, and decreased appearance of pores and wrinkles).
With retinol, you want to start slowly: apply every third day, at night, then increase to every other night, then build to every night. It’s extremely important to use sunscreen every morning, as retinol can increase your skin’s photosensitivity. We don’t use retinol during the day—and we don’t recommend it, either.
3. Beauty collagen supplement
Make it a morning routine with your breakfast smoothie or an evening ritual and have a glass of water before bed with this vegan collagen mixed in. Now that’s real beauty sleep.
4. Reset your daily cleanser selection
Update your line-up with an option that nourishes skin while gently removing makeup and other residue from the day for a healthy glow-up
