Maybe some day we'll all want matte, powdery skin. But for now, we're more interested in adjectives like luminous, glowing, and dewy. That look that gives your skin an angelic glow. The one that screams I drink two gallons of water a day, always moisturize, and never ever go to bed with makeup on.

The main thing that puts people off skin care is how complicated it seems. There's just so many products to choose from, and it can quickly be overwhelming if you're not sure what to buy. So, today I’ll be sharing with you all 5 tips and products to leave your skin looking dewy and fresh!

1. Include DMAE in your regimen.

Application of a DMAE-rich topical treatment results in almost instantaneous benefits. The skin looks firmer, lifted, less lined, and smoother. If a pea-sized drop of a DMAE-containing lotion is spread on one side of the face, gently rubbed into the nasolabial fold, around the eye, forehead, under the chin and on the neck, results can be seen in about 20 minutes. The side of the face and jaw line with the DMAE will appear more contoured, the eye will be open wider, the nasolabial fold lessened. The effect is dramatic. There will also be an immediate reduction in lines and wrinkles. DMAE is also outstanding in tightening up the dimpled skin on the back of the thighs and the upper arms. 

Also, the appearance of both fine and deep lines is reduced, and best of all, there is a wonderful (and very visible) increase in overall radiance and evenness of skin tone and color.

2. Give blue green algae a try.

If the idea of putting algae onto your body grosses you out, well, I would say turn away now, but you really shouldn't. Blue green algae contains vitamin E, selenium and tyrosine, which are all known for their powerful anti-aging effects. The antioxidants present in tyrosine eliminate free radicals and slow down the aging of skin cells.

Blue green algae is also a wonderful source of chlorophyll, which has cleansing properties, and it also helps your skin retain moisture, which is a major key to maintaining the appearance of smoother, hydrated, dewy looking skin.

3. Use aloe vera.

Aloe Vera is typically used when you get a little too much sun and need some relief. However, Aloe Vera has multiple benefits for your skin. It contains antioxidants, enzymes, Vitamins A and C, and it is highly anti-inflammatory. The enzymes in it can also help exfoliate the skin to make it smoother. 

 

Its naturally occurring nutrients and moisturizing elements help to increase collagen production, firm up skin and plump out wrinkles. Antioxidants found within the Aloe Vera protect skin from the damage caused by free radicals and can also reduce the look of age spots for an even, more balanced complexion. It’s no wonder that it’s been a superstar beauty essential for centuries. 

4. Make sure you are applying white willow.

With its powerful anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antioxidant properties, white willow bark extract is something to consider when it comes to healthy and glowing skin. A natural exfoliator and a remedy for acne, this extract is one of those natural and organic ingredients that shouldn’t be overlooked.

Fighting the free radicals with its antioxidant properties, white willow bark extract is a natural boost when it comes to skin rejuvenation. When applied topically, the extract has anti-aging properties, which means that it helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and fights the oxidative stress. Tannins and astringent properties of the willow bark contribute to overall health of the skin.

5. Get a product that includes the "wonder tree" neem.

Neem is a versatile plant with many health benefits. In fact, the Neem tree has been acknowledged as the “Wonder Tree” because each part of the tree -from its leaves, bark, seeds, flowers, to its fruit, exudes beneficial properties that can be used for different skin care purposes.

Neem delays the obvious signs of aging of the skin, thanks to its regenerative properties. Neem also reduces skin pigmentation, thus assisting in getting rid of dark circles. It also works as an effective moisturizer and softens the skin. The very composition of Neem helps purify your skin, giving you a luminous glow.
