Why ‘Skin Glazing’ Is The Next Big Trend In Skincare?
No matter what your age or skin type, we’re all striving for a dewy and glowy complexion, every time. We’re unconsciously programmed in to thinking that if our skin shines, we look healthy and youthful. So, it comes to no surprise, when Hailey Bieber recently posted a carousel of images of her no-filter head-to-toe glow, her 41 million Instagram followers wanted to know how to get the same seamless sugar-coated glaze inspired by a donut (yes, you read that correctly!)
It’s not often in the world of beauty, we try and resemble our favourite Krispy Kreme, that is, until now. With Bieber’s forthcoming beauty line, Rhode, expected to drop this year, perhaps this is a teaser of what’s in store? However, #glassskin already has over 643,000 posts sitting under the hashtag. Ultra-glowy skin is no longer dedicated to the summer months, but instead a year-round desire for “wet” looking skin. Whether achieved by skincare alone or with the help of some extra-brightening makeup, skin-glazing is predicated to be a huge fad for 2022.
Get on board with these luminous products that will give you a superstar glow….
