Bright skin is synonymous with youth and vitality. Over time, different internal and external factors can affect the appearance of our skin, making it look dull and lifeless. Combating this lack of brightness has become a priority for many people who are looking for products and care routines to restore their skin’s natural glow.
Below, we will explore the factors that can affect and condition the skin’s radiance and how the right routine, along with key active ingredients and products, can help keep skin looking bright and healthy.
Factors that affect the appearance of bright skin
Numerous factors can influence the loss of radiance.
- - Prolonged exposure to the sun without adequate protection can cause oxidative stress and damage to skin cells, resulting in a dull, aged appearance.
- - Stress also plays a crucial role in triggering hormonal imbalances that affect skin health.
- - A diet deficient in essential nutrients, such as antioxidants and vitamins, contributes to a lack of vitality too.
- - Finally, lack of sleep interferes with the natural process of cell regeneration, aggravating dullness and diminishing the skin’s natural radiance.
Routines and habits for bright skin
Keeping your skin looking bright requires a holistic approach that includes daily habits and a consistent skincare routine.
- - Daily cleansing is essential for removing impurities and traces of make-up that can clog pores and dull the skin.
- - We must protect our skin against free radicals and oxidative stress, which accelerate aging and lead to a duller complexion.
- - Moisturising is essential to keep the skin soft and supple, while the use of sunscreen protects the skin against harmful UV rays that can accelerate aging and reduce its brightness.
Key ingredients for bright skin
To achieve glowing skin, it is essential to use ingredients that revitalise the skin from within. Vitamin C is one of the most effective antioxidants, known for its ability to depigment, improve brightness and stimulate collagen synthesis, resulting in firmer, more radiant skin.
Another key ingredient is Ergothioneine, a powerful antioxidant that protects DNA and mitochondria, preventing cell damage and contributing to healthier, brighter skin.
Astaxanthin stands out for its antioxidant capacity, which is 65 times more potent than that of Vitamin C. As well as accelerating cell renewal, this ingredient helps protect skin against environmental damage, promoting a more even tone and a healthy glow.
Vitamin E plays a crucial role in protecting the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation and preventing dehydration, which helps to maintain an even skin tone that is free from redness.
Glutathione and natural polyphenols are also essential for bright skin. These antioxidants work together to improve skin elasticity, stimulate collagen and hyaluronic acid production and protect against oxidative stress, resulting in younger, brighter skin.
Finally, Proteum 89+ and Hyaluronic Acid are essential for keeping the skin hydrated, improving its texture and enhancing its natural radiance. These ingredients not only improve the skin’s radiance, but also strengthen and protect it, ensuring a long-lasting, healthy glow.
