4 Skincare Tips for Glowy Skin
Written by OSEA Staff | Published September 16, 2024
Summer is here at last, and whether you’re hitting the beach or firing up the barbeque, you want to face the season with glowing, radiant skin. We tend to be more exposed to the sun during the summer months, so it’s a good time to update your skincare routine to protect yourself and maintain a youthful appearance.
Not sure where to start? This guide will teach you how to get glowy, dewy skin that lasts all season long.
1. Apply Plenty of Sunscreen
We might like the look of a summer tan, but sun protection is a top priority. Exposure to UV radiation from the sun can lead to visible signs of aging, like wrinkles, dryness and uneven skin tone. Before going out, apply sunscreen generously — enough to cover all exposed skin. Use a broad-spectrum (both UVA and UVB ray protection), water-resistant sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.
2. Exfoliate for a Dewy Complexion
Exfoliating removes dead skin cells that create a dull appearance, making way for a more even skin tone and a brighter complexion. Start your day with a fresh face with our Ocean Cleanser, formulated with lactic acid to gently remove impurities and unclog pores, as well as a nourishing mineral-rich blend that hydrates skin. With this cleanser, you can say hello to softer skin and a more balanced and clean look.
For deeper exfoliation, add our Seaglow Resurfacing Scrub to your skincare routine 2-3 times a week, or as needed. The powerful combination of physical and chemical exfoliants clears away dirt and excess oil, encourages cell renewal and smooths the appearance of your skin for a flawless glow.
Body care routines can benefit from exfoliating treatments too. Our Undaria Cleansing Body Polish boasts a gentle seaweed-based formula that effectively smooths away dead skin cells and uneven textures, giving your skin a softer, brighter look.
3. Promote Glowy Skin From Within
A healthy, balanced diet benefits your body from the inside out. Be sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains and healthy fats like olive oil, eggs and nuts.
Adding specific nutrients to your diet can be especially beneficial for achieving youthful, healthy skin. For example, vitamin B3 (also known as niacin) can help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and treat certain skin conditions like dryness and sun damage1.
Turkey, chicken, peas, mushrooms and fortified cereals and breads are all great sources of niacin. Other skin-supporting nutrients to put on your menu include zinc, selenium and vitamins A, C, D and E.
4. Don’t Forget to Hydrate
One of the most important steps of a skincare routine for glowing skin is hydration. Drink plenty of water throughout the day and use moisturizing skincare products. Including hydrating serums, creams, lotions and oils in your skincare ritual will keep your skin looking bright and radiant.
We recommend following up your facial cleanser with our Hyaluronic Sea Serum. Made with replenishing Japanese Miru seaweed, hydration boosting hyaluronic acid and moisture sealing snow mushroom, this fast-absorbing serum is clinically proven to instantly increase hydration and improve the firmness and elasticity of skin in 2 weeks*.
From the neck down, use our Hyaluronic Body Serum. With ultra-hydrating ingredients like niacinamide and aloe, this serum smooths the skin’s appearance and instantly boosts skin’s hydration by 161%.
After your serum, take your summer hydration to the next level with our Seabiotic® Water Cream. We pack this facial cream with prebiotics, probiotics** and seaweed that give your skin a healthy, radiant look.
When it comes to body care, we recommend our Undaria Algae™ Body Lotion. This lightweight lotion is rich with Undaria seaweed, hyaluronic acid and turmeric for lasting hydration and a glowing, youthful appearance. Use a generous amount after your body serum to visibly firm and revitalize dry skin.
For maximum hydration, complete your skincare routine for glowing skin with our Dayglow Face Oil® and Undaria Algae™ Body Oil. These ultra-rich seaweed-infused formulas are designed to help replenish your natural moisture barrier and lock in moisture, so you can achieve a dewy, donut-glazed finish and a silky-smooth look that lasts all summer long.
*Based on a third-party clinical study conducted over 4 weeks on 30 women ages 43-64 (including; expert skin grading, instrumental measurements & consumer perception study).
