1 ~How to get glowing skin: Don’t skip toner.

We all know the basics of good skin by now, right? Always wear sunscreen, and if all else fails, fake it with a good bronzer or some pretty blush. But here are a few secret tips that don’t take a lot of time or money. From tweaking your skin care routine to no-fuss secret foods that give your skin a boost, here are some of our new favorites.

We know it’s hard enough to remember to moisturize every night, but adding toner to your daily routine could make all the difference to your face. It can help balance your skin’s pH level and shrink the look of pores—talk about a clean sweep.

3 ~How to get glowing skin: Exercise daily.

Getting your heart pumping doesn’t have to entail a marathon session at the gym. Quick 10-minute breaks throughout the day (like taking a walk around the block or climbing the stairs at work) can get your blood flowing and bring a natural flush of color to your skin.

 

4 ~How to get glowing skin: Eat cucumbers.

 

Cucumbers contain vitamin C and caffeic acid, two antioxidants that help fend off wrinkles and sun
damage. Vitamin C gives your skin a boost of collagen and elastin, which keeps you looking radiant. Plus, you can save the leftovers for a cooling eye mask or add them to your water for a refreshing twist on plain old H2O.

 

 

                   

5 ~How to get glowing skin: Use your night cream in the morning.

 

Because our night creams are typically more hydrating than daytime lotions, use one in the morning before applying sunblock for an extra dose of moisture.

7 ~How to get glowing skin: Cut your shower time.

 

Trust us—there’s nothing we love more than a long, hot shower, but shortening your tub time and cooling the temperature of the water will do wonders for your body. Hot showers strip your skin of its natural oils, leaving it dry and patchy.

 

 

8 ~How to get glowing skin: Drink green tea.

 

Not only does green tea taste great, but it’s also high in antioxidants like vitamin C, which help get rid of free radicals that damage skin cells. Plus, it reduces inflammation—a total skin saver right at your fingertips.
