How to Make Your Skin Glow

Want to have that happy post-coital glow all day? With proper skin care and the right products, you can make sure that you end up with smooth skin that screams happy, healthy, and totally satisfied in no time at all!

The first thing you need for glowing skin is a clear complexion. To get acne-free clear skin, you’ll want to make sure you wash, exfoliate, and moisturize with an oil-free moisturizer once or twice a day. Troubled skin may need more than just soup and water, so talk to your dermatologist if your acne condition doesn’t clear up on its own in a few weeks. She may recommend that you try a topical acne medication like Differin or Retin-A, or if it’s more severe, an oral medication like Accutane.

Once you blast those zits into yesteryear, you’ll be able to focus on smoothing out skin and applying the right makeup. You’ll want a fresh-faced look with only light, natural colors so people won’t be able to tell that your glow was painted on. Use a skin smoothing powder foundation so your skin doesn’t appear cakey, and apply a light pink or peach blush to the apples of your cheeks. Adding a little cream shimmer will help even out skin tones and give you a girly, light, and carefree look.

Wide eyes done up in natural tones can contribute to the look of a post-coital lover who’s got nothing on her mind but how love is in the air. Brush on a little shimmer and then rub on some eye balm to tone down the glitz and brighten up your eyes. Curl your eyelashes and the smooth on one or two coats of mascara to add to the doe-eyed sweet look.

Drink lots of water and eat well. Dehydrated skin or skin that lacks nutrients doesn’t thrive well, pre-, during, or post-coital activities.

One last tip: If you truly are happy and have reasons to glow, then your face, skin, eyes, and smile will have no trouble reflecting that!
