For the first part of the 2000s, matte skin was the most coveted look in the makeup and skincare industries. However, there has been a huge migration away from the flat-matte look of old and now, dewy, glossy skin is everyone’s top priority. Dewy skin refers to skin that is supple, glowing, and smooth, and hydration is absolutely key to achieving the look, no matter what your skin type is. Your skin care routine goes a long way in promoting dewy skin, so we’ve curated a selection of products which will give you your most dewy skin yet:
Elemis Superfood Glow Priming Moisturiser
This product from Elemis is as multifunctional as it can get – as well as giving the skin a deep wash of hydration, it can also be used as a primer beneath your make up, OR layered over the top of your base as a glowy highlighter. It contains an energising blend of kombucha and fermented ginger, which helps to promote a brighter appearance, as well as light-reflecting microminerals to impart a fresh, dewy glow.
This Works In Transit Camera Close Up
Okay, so we know we said the previous product was the ultimate multitasker, but this one also gives it a run for its money! It’s a mask, moisturiser and primer all-in-one which reduces redness and the appearance of wrinkles, leaving skin looking and feeling naturally radiant. You can use it to prep your skin for make-up, or if you’re feeling a more natural look then you can use this primer on its own for ‘zoom ready’ skin.
Aromatherapy Associates Hydrating Rose Face Mask
As we mentioned above, the first step towards a dewy complexion is ensuring that your skin is thoroughly hydrated, and there aren’t many products that can do it better than this mask from Aromatherapy Associates. It’s a Damask rose water-infused gel mask that returns vital hydration to the skin’s surface, flooding it with moisture and natural humectants. Skin emerges supremely hydrated, glowing and dewy-fresh.
Dermalogica Aqua Jelly
There’s a fine line between dewy and “face like a chip pan”, especially if you have an oily complexion to begin with. That’s why Dermalogica created this Aqua Jelly – a moisturiser for oily skin that gives all the dewy glow with none of the shine. This jelly-based cooling moisturiser’s water-like texture leaves skin feeling fresh and lightly hydrated, while helping to limit oil production and giving your skin some much needed balance.
Evolve Organic Beauty Climate Veil Tinted SPF20
With the trend for high-coverage, full-face makeup, it can be difficult to find a product which will give your skin a base without looking too made-up. Evolve Organic Beauty Climate Veil Tinted SPF20 is a beautifully tinted, lightweight broad spectrum SPF with mineral light reflecting natural pigments for a luminous dewy finish. It’s available in 4 different shades and is packed with bio retinol and linoleic acid to support the skin barrier layer and to lock moisture into the skin.
