This Christmas you are going to be resplendent and everyone is going to tell you: “you have done something to your face.” Raquel González, cosmetologist and creator of Byoode, reveals her four infallible tips to have VERY LUMINOUS skin
Lights towards your person! Or, rather, you are going to carry the light! The countdown to Christmas begins and everyone, absolutely everyone, wants to show the best version of ourselves. We carefully choose the outfit that we are going to wear on key days and, of course, our skin plays a very important role because without cared for skin, there is no luminous skin. “ Juicy and luminous skin is a trend . Everyone is obsessed with the 'glow' finish and it is not surprising because it is very flattering and, now that the Christmas holidays are approaching, that shine does not have to be limited only to sequins or metallic fabrics, it can also be worn to the skin, you just have to know how to do it,” says Raquel González, cosmetologist and creator of Byoode.
“There are some active ingredients that should not be missing in a routine, such as hydroxy acids, on the other hand, antioxidants and, finally, hydration, which will come from hyaluronic acid, squalane and urea. And all of them are present in the luminosity routine for this Christmas,” Raquel González tells us.
Byoode's four essential cosmetics
Super Green Poem
For the active ingredients to penetrate the skin well, it is essential that the skin is clean. “We will start the routine with Super Green Poem , which eliminates impurities and unifies the skin tone, in addition to providing light, thanks to antioxidant ingredients such as green tea, depigmenting pomegranate extract or exfoliating phytic acid,” reveals Raquel González.
Adzuki & Ragi Fantasy
This exfoliating powder is a before and after for your skin because, as Raquel likes to say, Adzuki & Ragi Fantasy “is an authentic experience in terms of cosmetic use. It is an exfoliating powder that, when you add water and massage it into your hands, turns into a super desirable foam.” It has two types of exfoliation: physical and chemical. The first is worked with rice powder, while the second is with acids such as phytic or gluconolactone, which depigment and, in turn, promote hydration.
Golden Eye Dream
Don't let dark circles extinguish the light in your eyes. What's more, there is a way to give luminosity without the need for makeup. As? With Byoode's Golden Eye Dream eye contour, which contains golden pigments that counteract the dark color of dark circles while eliminating bags and puffiness thanks to ingredients such as cucumber and peptides . “In addition to the eye contour area, as it has a highlighter effect, I like to apply it to the cupid's bow to visually increase the volume of my lips,” reveals cosmetologist Raquel González.
Brightening Sprouts Ecstasy
With three types of 10% vitamin C, such as Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Brightening Sprouts Ecstasy is our illuminating serum that promotes the synthesis of collagen and elastin and gives your skin that glow that you have been looking for since first application. “It is ideal for all skin types , even those most prone to acne or oil, as they tend to be altered by other forms of vitamin C,” highlights Raquel González.
How can I add brightening cosmetics to my routine?
And if you have doubts about how to incorporate these cosmetics into both your day and night routine, calm down, because we have prepared a step-by-step guide to the perfect Christmas menu for your skin so that you understand everything perfectly.
day routine
During the day, whether there is sun or not, our skin needs two key active ingredients: antioxidants, which can be found in vitamin C, and sun protection, which can be included in our moisturizer with SPF.
But, first of all, Raquel González recommends that we prepare the skin well with a good cleansing. “Cleanse the skin with the Super Green Poem gel, then use the Golden Eye Dream brightening eye contour and continue with the Brightening Sprouts Ecstasy vitamin C serum. To reinforce the barrier function, our moisturizing Lotus & Sprirulina Romance , and then, to protect it from free radicals, our skin needs an SPF, which comes from the Light Cream SPF30 Harmony , a cream with sun protection that is absorbed fast and does not leave that whitish finish typical of some protectors.”
night routine
After a long day, whether you've worn makeup or not, your skin needs a double cleanse, followed by exfoliation and hydration.
“Start with the Metamorphosis of Narcissus cleansing balm, which is responsible for removing makeup and SPF. Then, to remove the rest of the impurities, use Super Green Poem again. And to achieve a deep cleansing worthy of a beauty center, you can add the Adzuki & Ragi Fantasy routine that, in addition to exfoliating the skin, also acts as a cleanser thanks to the adzuki beans, which are natural soaps that are found at the base of its formulation,” says Raquel.
Continue with hydration. “At night, we will change the serum and, to achieve extra luminosity, which is also achieved instantly, we will apply Watercress & Copper Lyric , our serum with Copper gluconate, Niacinamide, essential minerals and Okra, which helps soften and balance the skin, while providing a luminous, relaxed and healthy appearance. And we will finish the routine with the Lotus & Spirulina Romance moisturizer, which contains hyaluronic acid and omegas, as well as innovative ingredients such as lotus, spirulina and broccoli, which guarantee complete hydration,” Raquel highlights.
Easy, right? Now you just have to put Raquel's advice into practice. And, be careful, be very careful who you dazzle because this routine works and the glow on your skin is guaranteed.
