What does glowy skin mean?
Before we start with the beauty tips, I would like to briefly explain what "Glowy Skin" actually is. After all, this term is on everyone's lips and an indispensable trend.
Glowy Skin describes a radiant, healthy-looking skin condition and occurs when external (skincare) and internal factors such as nutrition and lifestyle work hand in hand. If you want to learn more about the exciting topic of glow, I recommend our advisory article.

Skin Type-Specific Care
Glowy Skin is the result of many small steps that can lead to a healthy, glowing, radiant complexion. They all work together, complementing and supporting each other, with each individual beauty ritual playing a different, important role.
In simple steps to a naturally beautiful glow
#1 peeling as a base
As a preparation for a glowing complexion, I cleanse my skin with a gentle exfoliant. This makes the skin more receptive to the subsequent care. For my combination skin, I use an exfoliating mask. However, I am a bit more careful when massaging it in around the cheeks and eyes – the skin is usually more sensitive and a bit thinner there.
#2 Gentle Double Cleansing
Have you ever heard of double cleansing? Double cleansing involves using two different cleansing products one after the other. This ensures super fresh, clean skin.
In phase 1, a gentle cleansing milk removes oily residues such as sebum, makeup, or sunscreen from the skin.
In phase 2, a gentle cleansing gel or cleansing foam then deeply cleanses the skin and provides a great feeling of freshness. Speaking of freshness: in the morning, I always wash my skin with cold water – it stimulates blood circulation and gives a rosy glow.
#3 Glow Serum as Extra Care
In my view, indispensable: a good Glow Serum! It revitalizes my tired skin in the morning and provides a fresh boost – a real treat. I let it absorb well before applying my moisturizing day care.
#4 Day care for more glow
To retain moisture, I provide my skin with a day care product that suits my skin’s needs. Above all, good hydration is important for a healthy, radiant complexion.
By the way: I also pay attention to good UV protection for my face in autumn and winter. To protect my skin from the sun, I use mineral sunscreens with zinc oxide.
My favorite ingredients for more glow
My best makeup hacks for more glow
The most important thing first: a primer
If this multitasker hasn’t made it into your routine yet, now is the perfect time! A primer creates a radiant, visually refreshed complexion and prepares my skin optimally for foundation and concealer. You’ll see: your skin feels visibly smoother, and the makeup that follows looks much more even. Especially skin types with visible pores benefit from the primer, as it can prevent foundation from settling into fine lines and pores. For me, it’s indispensable for styling! To protect my skin, I make sure the primer contains no silicones or mineral oil.
Foundation with extra care
For a well-nourished complexion with a healthy touch, I like to mix my favorite foundation with a little moisturizer or serum. The extra moisture instantly gives my skin more radiance. If you prefer it even quicker and easier, simply use a tinted day cream or a foundation with natural moisturizers. This way, my skin stays well cared for all day long.
Natural freshness for the cheeks
Do you want more freshness for your cheeks but don’t have any blush on hand? I know the feeling! In this case, I simply reach for tinted lip balm. I apply it with my finger to the cheekbones and gently tap it in. This creates a delicate, healthy glow that doesn’t look oily. If I do decide to use blush, I prefer cream blushes because they create a softly glowing rose tone that stands for healthy freshness.
Highlighter for the extra glow
My must-have item for special moments or evening makeup: a highlighter! It’s important to me that I only put natural ingredients on my skin. That’s why I rely on products with mineral pigments. The delicately shimmering pigments create subtle highlights on the eyes (below the eyebrows) and cheekbones, giving a naturally beautiful effect.
Whether as a fine loose powder, pressed powder, or creamy texture – natural highlighters leave a flawless shimmering glow that also suits your evening look.
That also boosts my glow
⦁ Walks or sports (improve circulation!)
⦁ When I can: enough sleep
⦁ A healthy diet (preferably with regional delicacies)
⦁ Essential oils or fragrances like citrus fruits, rosemary, or peppermint that refresh my mind
Are you ready for glowy skin? I hope my tips and suggestions have inspired you a little!
