Skin glow trend
What is skin glow?
“Glowing skin is skin that is moist and soft — not dull, dry or flaky.”
“Glowing skin is characterised by small pores, even complexion and clear skin without blemishes.”
Whether labeled as dolphin skin, glass skin, glazed-donut skin or the next hot term, all these multi-functional claims and cross category products are required to improve the skin condition of the consumer and ultimately blend skin care and colour cosmetic seamlessly.
The key to achieving glowing skin is to focus on both skincare and makeup products that work to nourish and hydrate the skin, while also repairing the extracellular matrix of the skin for a long-term effect.
