How do I achieve the no makeup, glowy smooth skin look

The popularity of the heavy contour, bold eyeshadow and fake lashes trend is starting to fade, giving way to a new fashionable look; the dewy, ‘makeup-free’ glow. Popularised by ultra-cool skincare brands and influencers around the world, this look is defined by its supposed effortlessness – you’re supposed to look like you just rolled out of bed, splashed some water on your face and skipped out the door. But obviously, there’s a lot more to it than that. So how can you achieve that natural glow?  Start with a clean canvas Unfortunately, covering up blemishes with layers of foundation and concealer is never going to deliver the look you’re after. In order to get that smooth, clear skin that glows, try Microdermabrasion. This treatment deeply cleanses your pores, removes blackheads, reduces spots, and smoothes your skin.

The popularity of the heavy contour, bold eyeshadow and fake lashes trend is starting to fade, giving way to a new fashionable look; the dewy, ‘makeup-free’ glow. Popularised by ultra-cool skincare brands and influencers around the world, this look is defined by its supposed effortlessness – you’re supposed to look like you just rolled out of bed, splashed some water on your face and skipped out the door. But obviously, there’s a lot more to it than that. So how can you achieve that natural glow? 

Start with a clean canvas

Unfortunately, covering up blemishes with layers of foundation and concealer is never going to deliver the look you’re after. In order to get that smooth, clear skin that glows, try Microdermabrasion. This treatment deeply cleanses your pores, removes blackheads, reduces spots, and smoothes your skin. Microdermabrasion also gives you a healthy glow by stimulating the circulation, and removing dead skin, which would otherwise absorb light and leave your skin looking dull. 

Dewy skincare

Now that you have a smooth, blemish free canvas, you can apply products to enhance your natural beauty. Start with an ultra hydrating serum to plump up your skin and keep it soft. You could also mix a very small amount of liquid highlighter into your serum and apply it to your cheekbones and the tip of your nose for a subtle glow. 

Minimal makeup

Unsurprisingly, the key to a ‘no makeup’ look is always going to be using small amounts of makeup, in clever ways. Opt for a tinted moisturiser to add to your skin’s moisture levels and provide a little bit of unnoticeable coverage. If you have any blemishes or dark circles to cover up, mix concealer into your moisturiser, to help it sink into the skin. 

Protect your glow

You might think that sun exposure would be a great way to achieve healthy, glowing skin, but you’d be wrong. Sun exposure causes premature ageing, pigmentation and dehydration. Protect your skin with an SPF like SkinBase’s Homecare with SPF.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
