Get dewy skin and a livelier visage sans makeup.
Yoga skin. No-makeup makeup. Glass skin. Whatever the term you want to use to describe a dewy, flawless and plumped-up complexion, it’s undeniable that a perfectly polished mien continues to be a much sought-after goal. In Japan, the Panasonic Corporation has pioneered the concept of a makeup sheet, using image processing, material chemistry and inkjet printer technology to scan each individual’s face for imperfections before using cosmetic dyes to create a thin, customised sheet, that can be pasted over the affected skin in lieu of makeup. If you don’t have access to that kind of technology just yet, you’ll have to rely on face paint — or more specifically, the carefully applied mixture of primer, foundation, face oil and highlighter, that makeup artists generally recommend — to create that post-workout glow.
The true holy grail of dewy “glass skin”, however, is attaining it without the aid of any makeup. Imagine waking up in the morning, applying some sunscreen and heading off for the day. Here, we list some treatments that can be done at the doctor’s office like fillers or lasers, which can help you achieve almost perfect skin, so you’ll have the confidence to go barefaced, while a simple lash treatment that enhances your natural lashes can give you a defined eyeline without the need for heavy liner, mascara or any eye makeup at all.
FACE TIME
The simplest way to get yoga skin is not through an actual hot yoga session, but by getting a facial. And while meticulous application of skincare, targeted massages and double masking can definitely revive a tired complexion, it’s the added boost of a blast of oxygen that usually leaves skin with that enviably plumped-up and glowing appearance while reducing the look of dark circles and unevenness of skin tone.
