6 Tips for Healthy Glowing Skin
Happy Monday, lovelies! When it comes to skincare, I think we all want healthy glowing skin, which is why today I’m sharing my best beauty secrets on how to get beautiful, glowing skin at home. I’m also sharing my favorite products for brightening, moisturizing, and enhancing the skin’s natural beauty, and ways to achieve a gorgeous glow.
Eat Better Foods
This first skincare tip is nothing new, but the phrase “You are what you eat” holds so much truth when it comes to the health of your skin. Eating colorful, fresh fruits and veggies, lean proteins, and foods full of vitamin C will help enhance and brighten the skin’s overall complexion.
Speaking of vitamin C, in addition to getting a daily dose of OJ you can also apply vitamin C topically for enhanced benefits. I’ve quickly become a huge fan of Physicians Formula’s new Vitamin C Brightening Oil Stick with SPF 30.
This convenient stick helps to instantly revitalize and hydrate the skin, and even helps protect the skin from sun and environmental damage. In addition to brightening with vitamin C, this facial stick also contains kakadu plum and orange & sunflower oils with anti-aging benefits.
Simply swipe on the face and neck area prior to applying foundation for all day hydration and protection. I’m obsessed with how amazing this product smells and I’ve loved how it really does brighten up my skin’s complexion and helps add a nice glow to the skin.

Protect Your Skin from the Sun
No matter the age or skin tone, the best thing you can do for your skin is to protect it by wearing sunscreen. Sun damage not only weakens the elasticity of the skin, but it also noticeably ages the skin’s overall texture.
To prevent damage, it is best to wear a minimum of SPF 15 for everyday exposure and for days where you will be in the sun for extended periods, you should wear SPF 30 or more.
I personally love wearing The Healthy Foundation from Physicians Formula, which protects my skin with SPF 20 and offers beautiful coverage. I’m also a huge fan of wearing hats in the summer months for even more protection for my face.
Replenish the Skin’s Moisture with Serums
Eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and wearing sunscreen are all great ways to keep your skin looking its best. But at the end of the day, the skin still needs extra hydration, which is why investing in a good moisturizer is so important.
Believe it or not, one of the best products you can apply to your face daily for added moisture is a hydrating serum. I’ve already talked about my obsession with their Rose` All Day Serum over here, but Physicians Formula new 24-Karat Gold Collagen Serum is an elasticity-restoring serum that you’ll definitely want in your skincare collection.
Not only does this serum moisturize and brighten the skin but vegan collagen and natural polymers help restore elasticity, lift, and plump the skin’s entire look. Serums like this normally cost an arm and a leg, but you can get this one for only $12.97 at Walmart, which seriously can’t be beat. I’m totally obsessed with the 24 Karat gold flecks in this serum and it instantly adds a glow!
Exfoliate to Remove Dead Skin
Just as moisturizing is important, so is exfoliating the skin. Absolutely no makeup product out there is going to look good on the skin, if it isn’t healthy to begin with.
If you’ve noticed your makeup looks flaky or ashy even after moisturizing, then it’s time to add exfoliating to your beauty routine. Not only does exfoliation remove dead skin cells, but it also helps even out skin tone to reveal a brighter complexion.
I personally love using this skin cleansing brush and this charcoal detox cleansing stick for giving my skin a good detox. Depending on your skin type, it is best to exfoliate daily or every other day.
Give Yourself a Weekly Facial At Home
I’m a huge fan of pampering your skin on a regular basis, which is why I wholeheartedly recommend doing weekly facials at home.
I personally love using sheet masks to boost my skin’s natural glow and love the way it makes my skin look and feel. As mentioned in this post, sheet masks are a great way to add extra nutrients to the skin and are an inexpensive alternative to getting facials done at a spa or dermatologist office.

This brightening sheet mask is my favorite and combined with this serum my skin always looks so much more refreshed and hydrated.
Don’t Forget The Lips
Just as the face needs to be moisturized and exfoliated regularly, so do the lips. I’m actually pretty old school when it comes to exfoliating and I personally use a toothbrush to remove any dead skin if my lips get chapped.

For moisturizing, lately I’ve been reaching for the Organic Wear Lip Treatment from Physicians Formula and it does such a great job.
It’s infused with vitamin E, organic coconut, jojoba, and shea oils and helps keep my lips smooth and healthy looking. Bonus points for smelling amazing and being the perfect size for my purse or pocket!

WoW! These are great tips for the healthy glowing skin. I agree with the phrase “You are what you eat”. Nutrition has a great impact on the skin and hence we should watch what we are eating. Worth reading. Keep up the good work.

Amen to that!
Such a beautiful glow! I never thought about adding Vitamin C to my skincare routine – genius! Happy Friday girlie <3

Thanks! And who doesn’t love the smell of Vitamin C?!
Great tips girl!! I want to try out that brightening stick!! I have noticed as I’ve gotten a little older my skin isn’t as bright as it used to be. I am all about great skin care that works!! I will be looking into these products.
Exfoliating really helps with that too. Any time my skin is looking a little dull I know it’s time to exfoliate more.
Definitely grabbing these this weekend…seems right down my alley!
Yes girl, you’d love them!
Thanks for sharing these tips! I love Physicians Formula products. Esp their Healthy Foundation and Butter Bronzer. I haven’t tried any of their skincare. I’ll have to check it out!
Yes I definitely recommend checking them out. You’d probably really like some of their serums.
I am intrigued by that vitamin c stick! How fun! I haven’t seen that lip treatment either. might have to check that out.
I loooove the vitamin c stick and the lip treatment is amazing too. If there was one product I’d recommend though it’d be the vitamin c stick! 🙂
That oil stick looks really awesome. I’ve noticed how much more moisturizing I’ve had to do as i get older and these tips sound great!
Thanks Emelia. It definitely helps to moisturize and protect the skin from the sun. 🙂
OMG that collagen serum looks so cool! Also I think I desperately need that Vitamin C stick!

The Classic Brunette
I’m obsessed with both products right now! Great to add to your skincare regimen! 🙂
Your skin looks amazing. The glow stick looks like an interesting product. I don’t think we have that brand here though. I may have to do some googling.

Thanks so much! It is amazing for immediately brightening up the skin and smells so yummy too!
Loooooovelovelove this oil stick – it’s SUCH a good grab-and-go product!
Me too! It really does brighten up the skin too! 🙂
Vitamin C is soooo good for your skin. I love how it totally just brightens the skin!
Me too! Plus it smells amazing!
Love that Physicians Formula Facial Oil Stick. It looks awesome, especially with the vitamin C in it. I love the brand so I’ll definitely get it!

Hope you love it if you end up getting it!
I love a good Vitamin C serum. No regime is good without it! Especially at my age. I never knew they came in sticks/balms. I think I’d check it out as I’m on the market for a new one as we speak.
It’s amazing in stick form because there’s zero mess involved! 🙂
I so need to try the vitamin c stick! I love having a glowy/dewy look to my skin! I’ve been exfoliating and hydrating like crazy, too!
It’s so hydrating and smells amazing!
Great advice! I’m big on eating well and hydrating. I don’t do quite so well when it comes to sun block, though I try. I love the idea of skin care products with the SPF built into them. It’s one less thing to think about!
Yes I definitely encourage wearing sunscreen. It makes such a difference on the health of your skin.
Love all of these tips! Moisturizer and sunscreen are my go-tos for looking hydrated and firmed up! I also love a good sheet mask. One important thing for me lately is eye cream. My smile lines are getting deeper the closer I get to 30, so proper moisturizing and vitamins are a must for my eyes.
Thanks! Sunscreen, moisturizer, and eye cream are all part of my daily routine too.
SO many new products to try! I’m sometimes hesitant to try serums and what not because my skin is so sensitive. My biggest tip for healthy skin is to drink loads of water – it has made such a difference for me this last year!
I definitely agree with that- and getting enough sleep helps me too. Otherwise I look like a zombie lol. I have sensitive skin too and I love both serums I’ve tried from them so far. You might really like the Rose one.
I have to try this from PF. I love having a glowy skin.
Yes- you’d love some of these products! The serum is very hydrating.
Great tips. You always exfoliate my lips too.
Thank-you! Exfoliating the lips is so important.
I haven’t tried any of these products, Cara. I’ll have to look into them for sure. You have such great skin.
Thank-you! I think you’d really like the serum!
You are such a natural beauty! I can’t live without eye cream. It seems that the area below my eyes is super sensitive and always dark because of my allergies!
Thank-you! I love eye cream too. My undereye area is always a bit dry, so that helps.
