How to Get Glowy Skin
Getting your hands on a retinol is also key. Retinol is a vitamin A added to creams that boosts the amount of collagen your body makes and reveals the dewy layer of skin.
With summer finally being here, it’s your time to glow. I recently reached out to my Aunt, a dermatologist, to get some tips on how we can achieve a dewy look. This isn’t rocket science, nor will it suck the life out of your bank account. Here are four tips to have you glowing in no time.
The first and most important element to achieve great skin is to make sure you stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water will overall improve your body’s health and does wonders for your most important organ: your skin. We also have to think long-term when it comes to skin as well - you’ve heard it millions of times, but applying SPF daily is the most prominent way to keep your skin healthy, and dewy.
Getting your hands on a retinol is also key. Retinol is a vitamin A added to creams that boosts the amount of collagen your body makes and reveals the dewy layer of skin. It does wonders, cutting down fine lines and wrinkles. It may also correct skin tone and color, as well as brightening the skin overall. Adding a vitamin C to your skin care is also a must. They really work. Vitamin C serum can treat uneven skin tone, texture problems, wrinkles, scars, and in general dullness of the skin.
Coming from a dermatologist this should have you glowing in no time, our skin is important and it’s crucial we take care of it.

Face rollers help elevate your beauty routine and leave your skin looking bright and young. It’s best to keep your roller in the freezer and use a facial serum to help it absorb into your skin better. The gentle pressure this roller provides helps leave your facial muscles more relaxed and will de-puff and sooth your skin.

Lastly, don't forget to use facial sprays throughout the day. A great one to use is the Mario Badescu facial spray. The aloe, cucumber and green tea facial spray is great for summer. Aloe refreshes your skin after a day out in the sun. The green tea provides antioxidant benefits, while the cucumber replenishes and revitalizes your skin.
Summer is fun and all, but we can’t forget to give our skin the proper TLC it deserves after soaking up in the sun!

One thing about me I love trying new skincare products. Specially moisturizers over the summer my skin is always oily because of the heat and dehydration. But I have found a moisturizer brand that works really well called Belif. Normally I switch between the gel and cream during the summer and winter because of my oily and dry skin type. This new product will make you want all moisturizer to have a secret ingredient that I am willing to share! Belif was established by Duncan Napier. He had suffered from an incessant hack. In his way , he decided to make a cure out of herbs. With this herb studies for many years he was also able to create natural formulas for the skin. Belif is 100% safe with dermatologically tested. The key ingredient in this moisturizer is Aloe Vera which is known as the "desert lily" for its capacity to endure flaky and dry atmospheres. This new lightweight moisturizer is made of Aloe Vera for a cooling gel that alleviates dry and sensitive skin. Aloe Vera has been utilized for a considerable length of time for its properties. Fun fact of Aloe Vera is known as the “plant of immortality”. This will become your new go-to moisturizer this summer.

At the rise of Covid-19 many of us first questioned the timeline of fashion week and would we see the regular calendar continue - the question weighed over many of us for months! It was refreshing to see design houses and designers across the globe take advantage of the uncertainty and plow into production mode - thus my interest in Jerri Reid New York - The Black Designer based in Brooklyn New York wow’d instagram with his latest collection paying homage to the Black Is King film which debuted earlier this year in July. I was taken aback at quick of a turn round the young designer produced and released his well crafted designs reflecting some of the films most memorable moments.
