How to achieve glowing skin this summer
With summer just around the corner, we are all looking for ways to achieve glowing, radiant skin. Whilst hydration and sleep are cornerstones of a healthy complexion, sometimes our skin needs a little extra boost. In this blog post, we'll take a look at some of the best ways to achieve that glowing, make-up-free radiance.

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can help to brighten and even out skin tone. By blocking the enzymes involved in pigment production int he skin, Vitamin C can reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more radiant and even complexion. In addition, it has been found to have anti-inflammatory and anti-sebum properties, with studies showing a reduction in acne when used regularly. Used in combination with a broad-spectrum suncream, vitamin C adds exponentially improved protection from harmful UV rays. Choose a serum with the active form of vitamin C, L-ascorbic acid, and with a strength of 10% to 20% and a pH lower than 3.5 for best results.
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
Niacinamide is another antioxidant with multiple benefits for our skin. By reducing the effect of pigmented cells called melanocytes in our skin, niacinamide can reduce hyperpigmentation, melasma, and dark spots, creating a more even complexion. It is also thought to increase the repair of damaged skin cells, improve our protective skin barrier, and reduce inflammation, resulting in a reduction of fine lines, redness and acne. Niacinamide can be used daily as a serum or in combination with a moisturiser.
Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Among the world’s most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatments, anti-wrinkle injections reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles in the treated area, helping smooth out wrinkles and preventing new ones from forming. Popular treatment areas are the forehead, frown lines, and around the eyes. The treatment lasts around 3 months, and offers a safe and convenient option for anti-ageing results. Anti-wrinkle injections are a great option for those who want to achieve a more youthful, natural-looking appearance, and by smoothening fine lines a softened reflection and fresh-faced radiance is achieved.
Profhilo
Also known as an injectable moisturiser, Profhilo provides deep hydration to the skin. Additionally, it acts bioremodelling agent, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin. This results in lifting, tightening and plumping of the skin, improved skin texture and complexion, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, making it a popular choice among those looking to achieve a more youthful, radiant appearance. The treatment involves small superficial injections of hyaluronic acid, a substance naturally produced by your own body, into the skin, and results last 6 months on average.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters are injectable treatments providing deep hydration to the skin. It involves a series of micro-injections of hyaluronic acid alongside a combination of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals which work to improve the quality of your skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Unlike dermal fillers, skin boosters spread evenly in the skin and therefore do not provide volume, preserving your natural facial anatomy. Skin boosters increase hydration and provide antioxidant protection to create a glowing complexion, increase skin vibrancy, even skin tone, and plump skin.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are a non-surgical treatment that involves injecting firmer hyaluronic acid into the skin to restore and add volume to the face. By smoothing wrinkles from beneath, a more youthful, plump appearance of the skin is achieved. Additionally, dermal fillers consist of cross-linked hyaluronic acid, providing the added benefit of skin hydration. Fillers can be used to add volume to the cheeks, lips, and smile lines, among other areas of the face.
