10 tips for radiant skin

When you walk through the city these days, you can see some tired faces. When I look in the mirror, I miss the sun even more, as pale and dull as my complexion has become. Not a trace of radiance left. Even the best highlighter in the world won't help. But what can you do? I'll tell you in this article and answer all your questions about radiant skin. So, let's G(l)ow!

1. nutrition for more radiant skin? What can you eat to make your skin glow?

Let's start with the basics. At JUNGLÜCK , we always look at skincare from a holistic perspective. Because even the very best skincare can only be fully effective if we give it a little help with a healthy lifestyle.

Tip 1: More water for radiant skin

I know it's not necessarily the number one insider tip, but drinking enough water helps the whole body to perform its natural functions, such as metabolism. And this also applies to the skin. If you drink 2-3 liters of water every day, it is easier for it to regenerate, to Protect you from the outside and to retain moisture. The effect? Your skin becomes plumper, well moisturized AND you get a wonderful natural glow.

Tip 2: Green tea as a booster for radiant skin

Our product developer Moni swears by green tea. Brewed in a bag or as powder in a delicious matcha latte. Packed with antioxidants, green tea protects your skin from free radicals. Free what? You can imagine them like this: They buzz in the air around you and attack your skin. It has the task of fighting off these free radicals every day to keep you healthy. The skin is your protective shield and the antioxidants strengthen it in its defense against the intruders, keeping it fresh and strong.

Tip 3: Antioxidants from the inside for radiant skin

Your diet can regulate a lot of things in your body. It really is the basis of our vitality, including our skin of course. In addition to green tea, there are other foods that can make your skin glow. In general, fruit and vegetables, but also plant-based oils (make sure they are of high quality) and nuts are rich in antioxidants. Berries and pomegranates, grapes and spinach, carrots and apples can therefore be eaten more often from now on. A delicious way to support your skin. And boost your natural glow at the same time.

2. conscious lifestyle = radiant skin

Aside from watching what we eat, there are other things you can do to not only get your skin out of the winter slump, but also your mood. You probably already know this too, but our lifestyle has a huge impact on the appearance of our skin. It is a very important factor that is largely, if not entirely, in our hands. Here are the lifestyle tips that will help your skin glow:

Tip 4: Sport for radiant skin

When we move, we reduce stress, we get our circulation going, our pores open up and we flush out toxins. We feel balanced, emotionally and physically. This has an effect on all areas of our lives, including our skin. From yoga to HIIT, boxing, swimming, jogging, Pilates, cycling, whatever you enjoy is also good for your skin. With a certain amount of regularity, the post-workout glow will soon become a permanent glow.

Tip 5: Sleep radiantly

The same applies here as with sport: restful, quality sleep has an impact on your entire life. You have more energy in everyday life, feel less flabby, your mood is brightened and sugar cravings also decrease. All effects that will breathe life back into your pale skin. But how can you get more restful sleep? Make sure you have a cool bedroom. Ideally, leave all screens switched off 2-3 hours before going to bed. If you find this point as difficult as I do, at least make sure you set the night mode so that the blue light waves are greatly reduced, as they prevent the production of the sleep hormone melatonin. Alcohol worsens the quality of sleep. Unfortunately, this is not true when it comes to the quality of sleep, as the body is far too active for this. Also, you shouldn't go to bed with a full stomach. The digestive process also prevents you from getting a really good night's sleep. The right mattress and the right pillow also make a huge difference. It really is worth investing a little more money here.
These are just a few tips to improve the quality of your sleep, but they might just help you to wake up refreshed AM . Your skin will thank you with a glow and the rest of your body with more energy.

3. which care products make your skin glow? Creams, serums and oils: your glow routine

Tip 6: No radiant skin without the right cleanser

Unfortunately, it is a very common myth that the skin needs to be scrubbed properly to be really clean. peeling-beads, salts, aggressive surfactants or even very harsh cleansing wipes - NOT the way to go. Such methods soak up the skin, rinse out its lipids and nutrients or, in the worst case, even cause micro-injuries. Even the best skincare products struggle to restore all the nutrients the skin needs. So: mild but thorough Cleanse. We recommend the Cleansing Oil or the Cleansing Gel. The oil cleanses gently and is particularly suitable for removing make-up or sun cream residue. The Cleansing Gel is perfect for blemished or combination skin skin, as it soothes the skin while cleansing it thanks to the organic chamomile extract it contains. Both products contain only very mild plant-based surfactants. This means that the skin remains intact during cleanser and can retain its nutrients and lipids. And the rest of the skin care works much better too! cleanser is the be-all and end-all of skin care and the basic building block for radiant skin!

Tip 7: Fruit acid gives you a natural glow

Have you ever heard of BHA and AHA ? If you already know JUNGLÜCK , you've probably heard of our two fruit acid peels. If not, then you can read this blog post in more detail. Here we go into BHA and AHA in more detail and explain the differences and which product is more suitable for which skin.
Either way, fruit acid peels help your skin to regenerate overnight. They take care of dead skin cells, remove excess sebum from the pores and thus prevent the formation of blemishes. Why fruit acid peels should not be missing from your routine: They ensure fresh, well-moisturized and radiant skin!

Tip 8: Vitamin C serum makes the skin glow

The active ingredient ascorbic acid, commonly known as Vitamin C, consists of small, water-soluble molecules that penetrate deep into the skin and develop their wonderful effect. Remember the benefits of antioxidants in the diet? Our Vitamin C seren have the same effect, but from the outside. The Sensitive serum is suitable for beginners, while you can also use the Intensive serum for experienced, less sensitive skin. Regardless of which one you choose, it protects your collagen scaffold thanks to its antioxidant effect and also ensures the formation of skin-firming vitamin E and collagen. Use it AM or PM for a wonderfully balanced complexion.

Tip 9: Niacinamide for strong skin that glows

This Niacinamide serum is one of our favorites in the JUNLGÜCK team. I believe that almost all of us have it in our bathroom cabinet and rightly so! Because Niacinamide serum is a real all-rounder that has a regenerating effect calming . It stimulates skin renewal and the formation of collagen (the scaffolding of our skin) and ceramides (the building blocks of the skin). It balances sebum production and soothes redness. The ideal mode of action for even, radiant skin.

Tip 10: Hyaluron: Moisturizing booster for your glow

Before we get to the creams, I would like to talk about a product combination that is my personal insider tip: combine your Vitamin C serum or Niacinamide serum with the hyaluronic acid Concentrate. Our hyaluron Concentrate contains all three molecule lengths of hyaluronic acid, i.e. short, medium and long-chain. This means that it penetrates into the deep layers of the skin. BUT the best property of hyaluronic acid is that it binds to other molecules as it penetrates the skin and carries them into the skin. This allows the Actives serums to penetrate the skin even better. For me, this is the top tip for radiant skin.
To give your skin valuable oils and lipids in addition to moisture, you can follow up with one of our hyaluronic creams afterwards. With the light, medium and rich shades, you can provide your skin with just the right amount of richness. Whichever you choose, your cream will provide your skin with essential lipids and nutrients, keep it supple and help it retain all the wonderful moisture from the serums and Concentrate .
