We already knew the tendency of the glowy complexion related to the strobing technique - which consists of bringing shine to the face, in particular thanks to the makeup of certain areas.
The "dewy skin" also consists of having a radiant skin, but in a more uniform way: for that, we put everything on the products of care. On Instagram, the phenomenon is very successful with the beauty addicts since there are more than 90 000 publications associated with #dewyskin, under the hashtag of the same name.
In Korea, "the d ewy is close to the perfect skin with a virtually wet effect: the skin is smooth, so reflects the light well and we add in addition micro reflective effects to give a fresh and well moistened effect to the skin "said Katalin Berenyi, founder of Erborian.
Purpose of dewy skin: to reconcile with facials
If it is not given to everyone to have the complexion naturally fresh and bright, we can adopt a routine of care adapted to its type of skin that will help us to reach this cosmetic grail ... The only rule? Stick to it!
In practice, how do we proceed? We ignore the matifying cosmetics and we adopt a beauty routine composed of care that will revive and bring light to our skin.
Aurélie Guyoux, scientific director of cosmetics brands Esthederm and Etat Pur, advocates first of all to cleanse the face "morning and evening, in order to refine the skin texture, and allow the light to be perfectly reflected on the surface of the epidermis ". In the morning, micellar water, followed by misting by massaging the skin may suffice.
In the evening, "no impasse on removing makeup to eliminate all impurities accumulated during the day," she insists. "We also renew with make-up milk, which is applied to the fingers, then we mass slightly." Finally, the excess product is removed with a dry cotton, followed by application of micellar water or moisturizing lotion to the entire face.
Result: a unified skin. Removed of its impurities, the skin is ready to be "worked". Basic gestures in short, but still the key to a healthy skin.
For each type of skin its tricks for a dewy complexion
Another subtlety of the trend: a healthy complexion with zero blemishes and rosy cheeks, " like a return from the weekend in the great outdoors," says Aurélie Guyoux. And adds: "The dewy skin plays with the light: you have to find the right compromise to shine slightly without any unsightly shiny effect."
For the scientific director, the ally of oily skin is a mask based on white clay (kaolin) which absorbs the sebum on the zone T, the impurities and tightens the pores. "In 5 minutes chrono the complexion is more homogeneous and more uniform in terms of brightness and brightness".
If one has the skin normal to dry, one associates astuously a vegetable oil like the oil of argan, evening primrose or jojoba to its usual moisturizing cream, where one applies its oil after the cream in small touches on the cheekbones.
The right routine for a daily dewy skin
Adhering to a good routine of care guarantees a fresh and slightly shiny complexion, but the good gestures beauty are also for a lot.
- Exfoliate your skin for a radiant complexion
To play to the maximum with the healthy and luminous side of its complexion, one does not hesitate to exfoliate its skin twice a week with non-stripping products, to avoid irritating the epidermis.
The right combination: an enzymatic scrub with an oily texture, fragrance-free and preservative, which reinforces the barrier function of the skin.
- Avoid tap water as much as possible
"Often laden with limestone, tap water can cause redness, hypersensitivity and loss of skin radiance," explains Aurélie Guyoux.
The good gesture: to mist his skin after cleaning with a cellular water at a pH close to that of the skin.
- Tighten pores and refine skin texture with fruit acids
AHAs (alpha hydroxyl acids) are used to increase skin tone. A citric acid-based product (serum, cream) capable of stimulating the formation of natural skin water sensors (GAG) and its support fibers (collagen type I) is preferred.
- Moisturize the skin without moderation
"As in all rituals, dry skin will need more hydration," explains Katalin Berenyi. "One favors the creams a little more consistent" since a skin well hydrated will have a more bounced, "plumpy" and will therefore offer a more dyed complexion.
Suitable products: day creams with hyper-moisturizing formulations. We especially like those made from vegetable oils and butters and hyaluronic acid to keep the elasticity of the skin.
