If you haven't yet heard, 2017 is the year of the glow. Never before have we been a nation so keen to get that healthy, fresh, lit-from-within complexion.

There's just something about bright, radiant skin which portrays a picture of health and vibrancy. Luckily, glowing skin isn't difficult to achieve, with the help of an effective skincare regime, professional products, a healthy diet and sufficient sleep.

We can't assist too much with what you decide to eat, and how much sleep you get (we're probably just as guilty as you for suffering in that area!) but we can help with your skincare routine!

Here, we've invited along Nicole Akers - AVP of Education and Development at SkinCeuticals - to share with us her secrets to getting your glow on every single day. The key is to use products which exfoliate, nourish and protect the skin, such as the 5 key examples shown below.

The Method:

1.

Step 1: Micro-Exfoliating Scrub

Use this gentle exfoliating scrub as the first step in your routine for fresh, glowing skin. It's designed for congested and rough skin, with natural microbeads that give gentle cleansing and hydration, as well as thoroughly cleansing pore. Regular use promotes healthy cell renewal, without damaging or drying the skin.

Step 2: Phloretin CF Gel

This Vitamin C antioxidant serum-in-a-gel is a fantastic serum to apply after cleansing for ultimate skin protection. Penetrating deep down into the skin, it works to diminish fine lines, improve skin discoloration, and overall tone. Great for creating a bright canvas to the skin.

Step 3: Retexturing Activator

Apply a couple of drops of this Retexturing Activator to provide efficient exfoliation to the skin. Only a little is needed, as it also hydrates and locks in moisture as well as smooths the skin. As this product helps to slough away any dead skin cells, it begins to deliver radiance to the skin.

Step 4: Triple Lipid Restore 2:4:2

This anti-aging corrective moisturizer provides excellent hydration for the skin, leaving the complexion fully moisturized and balanced. The cream works to refill cellular lipids to plump and nourish the skin, providing the perfect finishing treatment product.

Step 5: Physical Fusion UV Defense Sunscreen

And last but not least, never forget your UV protection. This Physical Fusion UV Defense Sunscreen is much more than a sunscreen, because as well as giving excellent protection, the lightweight formula is slightly tinted, blurring imperfections and adding a tint of warmth to the skin. Natural skintone is enhanced, and radiance boosted. The ideal skin-glowing UV protector!
