Clinical studies show that these 5 growth factors can diminish visible wrinkling by 46%, increase skin elasticity by 47%, and increase skin hydration by 64%. – Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Dendy Engelman

One of the biggest date nights of the year is right around the corner which means pre-date prep is in full effect! Start your prep early before your Valentine’s Day date and you’ll be in tip-top shape and full of confidence when the night comes.

See below for five face and body essentials to create luminous skin for the special occasion.

Start your V-Day date night prep by having flawless skin — blemishes are not cute, and it’s best to proactively fight against them instead of trying to heal them after they’ve made their (unwelcome) arrival.

 

Use this powerful cleanser to ensure your skin is squeaky clean, smooth and even in tone.

Try: Dear by Renée® Grapefruit Foaming Wash ($29.95, DearbyRenee.com)

Try: Arbonne Rescue & Renew Detox Face Mask ($44, Arbonne.com)

Creamy French pink clay formula cleanses to draw out impurities from the skin’s surface, resulting in smaller-looking pores! The mask transitions from wet to dry to visibly show where excess sebum is drawn out.

Think of this as the equivalent of a power smoothie for your eyes! A little bit goes a long way since it spreads easily and melts right into skin.

Try: Dear by Renée® Ultra Firming Eye ($69.95, DearbyRenee.com)

This unique eye cream contains a mixture of botanical extracts and caffeine which absorbs beautifully into the skin addressing puffiness, dark circles and areas which lack circulation.

Look radiant and refreshed with super smooth, healthy skin by applying a scrub a couple days before date night. Apply this gentle formula to your skin and slough off dull skin that’s dimming your inner glow — you’ll be left with nothing but luminous goodness.

5 Simple Tips to Maintain Healthy, Glowing Skin this Fall/Winter

With chilly temps on the way the battle for healthy, glowing skin officially begins. To beat winter beauty woes like dryness and a lack luster complexion, your skincare routine will require some extra TLC and loads of hydration.

1.SHORTEN YOUR SHOWER

A hot, steamy shower can leave your mind peaceful but your body parched. Instead of stripping away natural oils limit it to five minutes, and suds up with a body wash; then, seal with an oil infused lotion. Try The Mane Choice Heavenly Halo Oil+Lotion and Body Wash set ($14.99 each; Target.com). Infused with soy and multivitamins to restore and hydrate skin by protecting against moisture loss.

2.EXFOLIATE ONCE A WEEK

Proper exfoliation prevents the skin from developing a dull appearance – Especially during the colder seasons. Using an exfoliator once a week can provide an instantly rejuvenated skin tone. Try the Dear by Renée® Gentle Facial Scrub ($49.95, DearByRenee.com) This gentle gel-based scrub contains Jojoba microbeads which sweeps away dead skin cells, refines surface texture and helps decongest skin.

3.SHINE ON

Bring a little magic to your complexion by dabbing a shimmery cream highlighter onto the cheekbones, inner corners of your eyes, and brow bones. To draw out the warmer tones in darker skin, opt for a gold shade. If you’re fair, pink tones will impart a natural glow. Try Arbonne Starlight Glow Palette ($75, Arbonne.com) which contains an array of warm to cool powder pigments or Arbonne Sheer Glow Highlight Stick ($50, Arbonne.com) a multi-purpose highlight stick containing a Pearl shade to highlight and Bronze to give an effortless glow.

4.KEEP UP YOUR DAILY SPF HABITS

It might be tempting to stash your sunscreen away until next summer, but it’s necessary to wear year-round if you want your complexion to look its best. Slather on the SPF 365 days a year for skin that’s healthy enough to glow naturally! Try Arbonne RE9 Advanced Restorative Cream SPF 20 Sunscreen ($66, Arbonne.com) The concentrated formula protects against UVA/UVB rays and contains collagen-supporting ingredients!

5.DON’T FEAR THE MASK

Hydration masks are a key to giving your skin the nutrients it craves in order to reveal an enviable glow! Try Dear by Renée® Pomegranate Hydrating Mask ($49.95, DearByRenee.com) the unique gel-based formulation leaves skin super moisturized and glowing with Aloe Vera Leaf and Mushroom Extracts to nourish and soften skin.
