Skin Complexion... What are some ways to make your skin "brighter"

[Guest manun]

Is having oily face the same thing as having a glowing face?

[Guest liltweekstar]

exercise

^ that and also exfoliate, drink more water

[Guest sugarcakes]

I have really dull, dead looking lightly tanned skin.

the complexion of my face is just.... dead.

Is there any way I can brighten it, make it "glow" more?

I'm not talking about getting lighter... but just make my skin look livelier...

Any advice?

i have a little home-made tip that helps your skin looks whiter, healthier, also it helps get rid of pimples too. its very easy to do and the cost is very low.

1. two big teaspoons of fat free PLAIN yogurt

2. two - three teaspoons of fat free milk

3. mix two in a bowl or cup or what have you (make sure the final mixture isn't too thin, if it is. pour out some milk)

4. have a bunch of q tips ready. take one. dip the cotton head fully into the mixture. then just apply it all over your face 'til its dry, then throw it out, take another q tip and repeat. and so on

5. you want to do that all over your face for about 20 minutes a day.

6. afterwards, wash it off with COLD WATER. gently dry it with a towel, apply moisturizer

7. you'll discover a healthy glow in your skin right away.

also. to help your skin care products to be completely oborbed by your skin, boil a pot of water on the stove, once its done. stick your face above it (not too close of course), steam it for about 5 minutes. that is to help open up your pores, so when you wash, it cleans deep within. thus help "brighten" your skin.

STAY AWAY FROM MAKE UP! a young skin is very beautiful.

good luck!

using moisturizer that really hydrates your skin is key. i have dark skin too and it was dull and nasty. but then i got a new toner and moisturizer set and my skin is seriously glowing. i love it. i got shisheido purity moisturizer and toner, but just get one that works for your skin type.

[Guest Kristtina]

using avon facial cleaner and loreal cleaners,they realy are helpful

milk inflamanated my skin... =/ like the not-yet-there-pimples errupted.LOl and i remembered my doctor telling me not to drink many dairy products cause dairy inflates/inflames ur skin. =)

haha..ermm.. try exfoliating and drink tonnes of water.. and be happy =) when one's happy, their body just radiates off a glow =) like a pregnant woman.

Aveeno Sking Brightening Daily Scrub...works really well with me...even skin tone and clearer complexion..plus i could tell i brightened up more..everyone commented on it

[babybeck]

Wow. Thanks a lot you guys!!!

That's a lot of help.

I'm hearing a lot of excercising, milk, and exfoliating. ^^

I'll definitely take your advices.

[Guest poopoo]

my skin got bright cuz i WASH with morning burst clean & clear in the morning, it makes ur skin energized i GUESS and i put on the clean & clear morning glow lotion..and i drnk alot of waterr so i guess its cuz of dat. sometimes i exercies too but thats good...EAT TOMATOS ..tomatos got iron ?? so it'll give u that NATURAL blush in ur cheeks I guess..healthy foods help.

[Guest mangujowa]

Erm... I use H2o's Waterwhite Brightening Night Cream. It's cheap, cost me 40 dollars, and the container looks BIG, but. it's actually tiny. =__='' like its a cube, and a small circle inside is what holds the lotion, so yeah, don't be fooled by the size of that thing. GRR. ANYWAYS, yeah, my complexion is brighter, I suppose, plus it just matches my skin type so I even wear it during the day ^^''

AHHAHA. people are trying to make their face more blushy, but I'm trying to make in un-blushy. That's why I use some liquid foundation on my cheeks, to hide my blushy-ness. =__=''

[Lelaye]

Mine's like yours excepted my skin is really pale. I have no color on my cheeks, it's a bit dry sometimes. My complexion is horrible , idk. I don't drink munch water and my moisturizer feels heavy. Anyways, you're not alone.

[Guest mofo]

[Guest SpicyTOFU]

yepppp...moisturize

[Guest poopoo]

UM no..cuz wen ur face is glowing its not realkly oilly looking..

I GUESS having an oilly face can look DEWY..but too oilly doesnt . it just looks oilly..like sometimes oil can make ur face look dewy but it depends where..like on ur cheeks or somethin?

[Guest sugarcakes]

i forgot to add an important detail to my reply earlier

SLEEP EARLY AND RISE EARLY! when i was in college. i was pratically online everynight 'til the crack of dawn playing games, then i would sleep well pass lunch the next day. that is so bad for your skin. our body produces a certain chemical after a certain hours, you want to be in resting mode when that happens. so try to sleep before midnight and rise before 9 am.

avoid spending too much time infront of the tv / computer. believe it or not. keyboard produces more radiation than the monitor

[Guest Baybe Gyrl`]

^ =O !! EH??

how is that possible?

[Guest AznMonkee]

scrubs, drink lots of water and use one of thoes face lotion that has sparkles in them.. well they r suppose to have vitamin e. i think loreal and nivea has them

[Guest cpopbaby19]

^yup. i use nivea. (the triple whitening foam) and it's working on my skin little by little. and i think it has vit. e.. but if not, im sure other nivea products have vitamin e on it.

Exfoliating is to get rid of the dead skin. You can use scrubs with those tiny micro beads that exfoliate on the surface. Or use chemical exfoliations like AHA or BHA.

Moistuizing is to deliver moisture to your skin. They're pretty easy to spot in any skincare shop, just read the details to see if it suits your skin's condition.
