Create a Radiant Glow

Continued from our Retreat & Renew Daily Tip.

The last rays of summer have long gone and your skin’s glow is fading fast. Forget shelling out for a tropical vacation, there are ways to warm up your skin tone with only minutes in front of the mirror.

Create a Radiant Glow

First, choose a foundation that’s one shade darker than your natural winter skin tone. A mineral foundation like Jane Iredale Amazing Base Mineral Foundation or Afterglow Cosmetics Organic Mineral Foundation makes it easy to master this trick, since their coverage and color is buildable.

Both brands are free of talc, parabens and bismuth oxyxchloride, ingredients to avoid in mineral makeup. Bronzer is another essential for sun-kissed winter skin, but it’s important to apply sparingly to keep your look as natural as possible.

Fair to medium skin types should aim for rosy warmth with a peach-based bronzer, such as Revolution Organics Freedom Glow Beauty Balm in Sunkissed.

And darker skin tones should look for a bronzer with a subtle shimmer like Alima Pure Bronzer in Seychelles.

For shoulders and d©collet©, dust on a lightly bronzing powder or dab on shimmer oil, like Lucy B Organic Frangipani Bronzing Shimmer Oil. Once summer returns, you can intensify these products to highlight an even darker skin tone.
