5 Ways to Brighten Skin

I work pretty hard to protect my skin and while I know that I sometimes fall short, I am pretty happy with my skin overall. I love my skin care regimen but I have several anti-aging concerns. I drink a lot of water (at least 64 ounces per day) but I still worry about dehydration. I have some fine lines, areas with dullness and some pores I'd like to be much smaller. I really don't like having to apply a lot of different products and would love to be able to streamline my skincare routine. As a result, I am always trying new products and making certain that I take excellent care of my skin. We hope that you enjoy our 5 ways to brighten your skin.

1. Hydrate

I am convinced that hydrating your body is one of the best things that you can do for it. I drink a lot of water each and in fact drink in excess of 64 ounces. My skin feels firmer and it's definitely brighter. These are just a few of the many benefits of water.

2. Exfoliate

If your skin is looking very dull and dark, it is highly possible that you have dead skin cells on your face and they need to be exfoliated. You can use a skin care brush, or simply a face wash that has exfoliating beads in it. You will love to soft feel and smooth look of your skin.

3. Use Cucumber

Using cucumber slices are a great way for brightening the skin under the eyes. You can just keep your eyes closed and places the cucumber slices over your eyes and keep them there for about 15 mins. This cooling, relaxing and refreshing natural treatment is great for a midday boost plus it helps brighten the eye area.

4. Protect Your Skin & Take Precautions

Protecting your skin when you are in the sunlight is so important because the sun can cause dark spots, freckles, skin redness and more. After sun exposure, dark spots seem to appear on my face more than anywhere else. To avoid these dark spots, keep your skin protected with sunglasses, hats, and sunscreen when you are in the sun! I wear SPF every single day. I use several different products that all have SPF so I am always protected.
