Struggling to achieve that elusive summertime glow? While some may look effortlessly radiant during the summer months, the warmer weather can actually do far more harm than good for your skin. It triggers several different changes in how the skin functions, meaning that your summer skin care routine needs to be adapted in order to continue giving your skin all that it needs.

If you haven’t been able to accomplish that, don’t fret – summer isn’t going anywhere just yet! Read on as OROGOLD shares some top tips to help you flaunt a complexion that you can be proud of for the rest of the summer season.

Prioritize Sun Protection

UV rays cause a significant amount of damage to the skin. Not only are they responsible for up to 80% of the visible signs of skin aging, but they can also lead to sunburns, excessively dry patches, and even skin cancer.

UV rays strike their damage throughout the year, which is why sunscreen should be worn year-round. However, they become even stronger in the summer, making it vital for you to have a good sunscreen to turn to.

Although the FDA states that a minimum SPF of 15 is sufficient, the American Academy of Dermatology, as well as the European Academy of Dermatology and Venerology, recommends an SPF of at least 30. To ensure that your skin is protected from both UVA and UVB rays, find a formula that offers broad-spectrum protection, like the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30. 

Suitable for most skin types (you may want to go with a higher SPF if you have very sensitive skin), this sunscreen not only shields the skin from UV damage but also provides a fantastic amount of moisture. It contains vitamins and antioxidants too, along with a sprinkling of gold, to keep your skin feeling healthy while you’re enjoying the summer sun.

In addition to reapplying your sunscreen every two hours, try to also incorporate a few other sun protection measures into your day. Staying in the shade during the hottest hours of the day will keep your skin away from UV rays while they’re at their most harmful. A wide-brimmed hat and some oversized sunglasses will provide some extra protection too.

Stay in Control of Excess Sebum

Between the warmer temperatures and the higher humidity, the skin produces quite a bit more sebum during the summer months. For those with dry skin, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, if your skin type is already oily, then adding even more sebum into the mix can be disastrous. 

To save yourself from having to deal with clogged pores and breakouts all summer, make sure that your summer skin care routine contains a few sebum-controlling measures.

For starters, you’ll need a good cleanser. Use it twice a day to remove excess sebum from the surface of your skin. The OROGOLD 24K Mousse Cleanser is perfect for this. It forms a satisfyingly rich lather that quickly clears away excess sebum and other impurities.

Unfortunately, cleansing alone won’t keep summer skin breakout-free. Some of that excess sebum will end up in your pores in between cleanses, so you’ll also need a good exfoliant to pull it all back out. 

Making the decision between a chemical and a physical exfoliant can be tough. They each have their pros and cons. That’s why we created the 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. It brings together all of the benefits of both forms of exfoliation, without any of the downsides. Mandelic acid provides the chemical exfoliation while bamboo powder physically exfoliates, ensuring that your pores remain clear of any clogs.

Keep Your Skin Hydrated

Although summer skin tends to be oilier, this doesn’t prevent it from becoming dehydrated. The more sun you’re exposed to, the more moisture your skin will lose, leaving your skin cells thirsty. A dehydrated complexion looks dull, sunken, and creased – definitely not the look you want to be rocking this season!

The best way to ramp up skin hydration is with hydrating serums. Due to their lightweight nature, serums absorb into the skin more efficiently than creams. This makes them ideal for leaving even the deeper layers of your skin feeling sufficiently hydrated.

When searching for a hydrating serum, look for formulas that are loaded with humectants. These are ingredients that bind moisture to the skin, immediately hydrating and plumping up the complexion. 

Some of the best humectants out there include hyaluronic acid (or sodium hyaluronate), glycerin, chitosan, and hydrolyzed elastin. You’ll find all four ingredients in the 24K Termica Activation Serum. This hydrating blend also boasts green tea extract and licorice root extract to keep your skin looking bright and even, along with witch hazel extract to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores, another common summer skin complaint.

Add More Antioxidants to Your Skincare Routine

No matter how diligent you may be about keeping your skin protected from the sun with sunscreen, chances are that some UV rays will still wreak their damage. Whether it catches you unaware due to sweat washing some of your sunscreen away or you’ve left it a little too long to reapply your SPF, UV damage is hard to completely avoid. 

However, all is not lost – this is where antioxidants come in. Research confirms that not only do antioxidants help to keep the skin feeling protected from the sun, but they can also reduce the appearance of UV-induced skin damage. Whether this may be wrinkles, dark spots, the loss of volume, or anything else, antioxidants can help to restore a less damaged and more youthful complexion.

Some of the best antioxidants out there happen to be vitamins, with A, C, and E at the top of the list. You’ll find all three antioxidants in the OROGOLD 24K Rejuvenating Skin Serum. This silky formula also contains hemp seed oil. It’s a botanical that’s brimming with fatty acids. Not only do these hydrate and moisturize the skin, but research shows that they also provide antioxidant effects.

Opt for Lightweight Moisturizers

Although it’s important to keep your skin moisturized year-round, using the same moisturizer in the summer and the winter wouldn’t be a good move. The richness that your skin needs in the winter when it’s producing less sebum would likely feel way too heavy in the warmer months. Summer skin needs lightweight moisture in order to glow, and this is something that OROGOLD can help with…

To start with, take a look at our 24K Golden Dew Serum-in-Cream. It feels like an extremely lightweight serum, making it ideal for a summer skin care routine. Some of its standout ingredients include niacinamide, which evens out the skin tone, peptides, which strengthen the feel of the skin barrier, and grape seed oil, which is loaded with antioxidants. With sodium hyaluronate for hydration and vitamin C to give the skin a glow, this cream is a summertime game-changer!

Another option would be the OROGOLD 24K Rose Gold Radiant Silk Cream. This moisturizer is ideal for those who struggle with oily summer skin. It has a mattifying effect on the complexion, immediately leaving the skin looking less greasy. Meanwhile, it still happens to be super hydrating and is full of antioxidants too!

Pamper Your Skin With a Weekly Mask

Face masks are beneficial throughout the year. With that said, you’ll likely need to switch up the masks that you use in the summer months, opting for formulas that will help you to target your summer skin concerns.

For example, if your skin could do with some extra hydration to cope with the summer sun, the 24K Rose Gold Hydro Mask could be just what you need. Designed to be used once a week, this mask couldn’t be any easier to apply. Simply massage it onto clean and dry skin. As you do so, the creamy texture of the mask will liquefy into droplets, which your skin will quickly drink up. No mess, no rinse – it’s perfect if you have a busy schedule!

On the other hand, if your skin has been feeling oily and congested, look for a clay mask, such as the OROGOLD 24K Termica Energizing Mask. In addition to clay, which is famed for its ability to absorb excess oil and impurities, it’s also packed with vitamins and antioxidant-rich plant extracts. Even better, the way in which it heats up when it’s applied to the skin will leave your pores feeling capable of absorbing even more of the mask’s goodness!

Give Your Eye Area Some Extra Care

Do you ever find yourself squinting more in the summer months? Whether you’re spending more time outdoors or your office desk sits next to a sunny window, squinting is a natural way to protect your eyes from the glare of the sun. However, it’s not doing your skin any favors.

Each time you squint your eyes, crow’s feet form. Sure, these may bounce away while you’re in your youth. Unfortunately, as you age, they’ll start to stick around. Those expression lines will soon etch themselves into deep ridges. 

The sun protection measures that we shared earlier will go some way in protecting your eye area from the sun’s glare, therefore saving you from the need to squint. However, if you’re a habitual summer squinter, it would be worth adding an extra eye care product to your skincare routine.

Look for one designed to smooth away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, such as the 24K Intensive Eye Serum. With peptides, vitamin C, sodium hyaluronate, and green tea extract, this serum will leave your eye area looking plump, firm, and youthfully bouncy.

If you already have an eye serum that you can’t live without, consider adding an eye cream to your summer skin care routine. The 24K Intensive Eye Formula Cream pairs well with our eye serum but also works beautifully as a standalone. It contains a number of peptides and vitamins, along with licorice root extract to brighten up the look of your eye area.

Achieve Radiant Summer Skin With OROGOLD

The summer months are definitely not kind to the skin. However, whether you’ve been struggling with oiliness, dryness, or anything else, follow our summer skin advice and it won’t be long before you’re flaunting a radiant makeup-free complexion.

There’s no getting away from the fact that your skin’s needs evolve with age. As your body grows older, your skin undergoes a number of different changes. This is why experts recommend that people continuously reassess and adjust their skincare routines so that they can adapt to these new requirements.

However, this isn’t always strictly necessary. Certain skincare ingredients and products are beneficial for the skin at every age. Learn how to put together a skincare routine that consists of these all-encompassing formulas and you’ll be able to follow the same regimen for decades.

Ready to get started? Read on as OROGOLD shares a skincare routine that everyone will be able to benefit from, no matter how young or old you may be.

Step 1: Cleanse Your Skin

No matter your age, the very first step of any skincare routine should be to cleanse your face. This gets rid of any dirt, oil, and other impurities from the surface of your skin. It will make it much easier for the rest of your skincare products to penetrate through your epidermis, therefore making your skincare routine all the more effective.

Again, no matter your age or your skin type, overly harsh cleansers should always be avoided. These strip away the skin’s natural protective barrier, which is something that you should be trying to preserve as much as possible. So, stay away from cleansers loaded with sulfates and instead opt for those that make use of gentler surfactants, just like OROGOLD’s 24K Mousse Cleanser. 

This creamy cleansing mousse uses cleansing agents derived from coconuts. Not only will they effectively remove dirt and oil from your face, but they’ll also moisturize your skin at the same time. This formula enhances that even further by offering up other moisturizing ingredients too, including moringa seed oil, argan oil, and shea butter esters. Together, they’ll leave your skin feeling beautifully soft and supple post-cleanse, without any of the redness and irritation that harsh cleansers can cause.

Step 2: Exfoliate

While all of the other steps in this skincare routine can be followed daily, or even twice a day, exfoliation is something that should only be done once or twice a week. 

Exfoliating is vital when it comes to maintaining a healthy complexion. It gets rid of the dead skin cells that gather on the skin’s surface. Although the skin naturally sheds these, the rate at which it does so declines with age. This can lead to a rough and dull complexion. Exfoliating your skin does away with this, giving you the bright and clear glow that you enjoyed in your youth.

There are several methods of exfoliation out there that you can choose from. However, our favorite way to exfoliate is with a peeling gel, just like the OROGOLD 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. As you can tell from its name, this formula boasts mandelic acid. It’s an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that comes from almonds and it’s known for being one of the gentlest AHAs out there. 

In this product, we’ve combined mandelic acid with bamboo powder. It also acts as an exfoliating agent by physically dislodging any dead skin cells that are stuck to the surface of your skin. Powered by both of these exfoliants, this formula is highly effective yet super gentle at the same time.

Although people of every age should be exfoliating, how often you exfoliate should depend on your skin type. If you have dry or sensitive skin, a weekly exfoliating session is all you need. However, if you have oily or combination skin, then you may need to exfoliate twice a week, or possibly more. 

Step 3: Dab on a Hydrating Toner

Whether you’ve just finished cleansing or you’ve also exfoliated, it’s now time to apply a toner. Ideally, go for a hydrating formula. This is something that will benefit every skin type at every age.

If you have dry or dehydrated skin, a hydrating toner will provide a much-needed dose of moisture. It will also help your skin’s pH level to feel rebalanced, which will prevent the visible signs of irritation and inflammation from plaguing your appearance. For those with oily skin, a hydrating toner will reduce how greasy your skin feels. At the same time, it’ll also minimize the look of enlarged pores.

How can you tell if a toner is hydrating? By taking a look at its ingredient list. Pay attention to the first five ingredients on there. Ideally, at least two or three of them should be capable of hydrating and soothing your complexion.

The OROGOLD 24K Purifying Toner is a great example. You’ll find aloe vera leaf juice, cucumber fruit extract, and organic chamomile extract at the top of the ingredient list. This is how the toner is able to bring about such a bright and dewy complexion each and every time it’s used. There aren’t many toners out there that are suitable for all skin types, making this one a clear winner!

Step 4: Apply a Vitamin C Serum

When you’re in your 20s and early 30s, the serums that you use should be focused on preventing the visible signs of skin aging. However, once you reach your mid-30s, you’ll need to start prioritizing serum formulas that target and reduce the appearance of aging. 

Fortunately, there’s an exceptional ingredient out there that’s capable of doing both; vitamin C. Add a vitamin C serum to your skincare routine and you won’t have to worry about finding a new serum to use as your skin ages. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that will not only work to keep the appearance of aging at bay for as long as possible, but will also help to diminish any visible signs of aging that do happen to crop up.

For this reason, every skincare routine out there should contain a vitamin C serum. Look for a formula that offers more than one form of vitamin C, such as the OROGOLD 24K Rejuvenating Skin Serum. With both tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate, this serum really intensifies the power of the antioxidant. Since vitamin C always works best when it’s supported by other antioxidants, you’ll find vitamins A and E in this formula too, along with hemp seed and wheat germ oils to provide some moisture.

Step 5: Use an Eye Cream

The eye area is extremely susceptible to dryness. It contains fewer sebaceous glands than the rest of the face, meaning that there isn’t as much natural oil produced in the area, resulting in a lack of moisture. 

Since the eye area is almost always moving, it’s prone to wrinkles too. All of this wear and tear causes the skin’s proteins to break down, meaning that all of those creases that form each time you make a facial expression will soon be here to stay.

One way to prevent the appearance of fine lines around the eyes while also diminishing the visibility of any creases that have already started to etch their way onto your face is with an eye cream. In addition to helping to eliminate the look of lines, a good eye cream will also work to de-puff and brighten your complexion, leaving your eye area with a beautifully radiant finish.

One eye cream that does exactly that is the OROGOLD 24K Intensive Eye Formula Cream. It contains a number of superstar ingredients. Peptides, caffeine, green tea extract, vitamin A, and more come together to revive the look and feel of the skin around the eyes. Whether you’re struggling with the appearance of wrinkles, dryness, dark circles, puffiness, or anything else, adding this eye cream to your skincare routine will help, no matter your age.

Step 6: Moisturize Your Face and Neck

You’ve now applied some pretty potent products to your face, so it’s time to lock that all in with a good moisturizer. This will prevent those previous products from evaporating out of your skin to such a great extent while also treating the skin to some extra moisture.

We always recommend having two moisturizers in a skincare routine; one for the day and another for the night. This way, each formula can tackle the unique needs that your skin has at different times of the day.

For example, our 24K Multi-Vitamin Day Moisturizer + Amino Acid will leave your skin feeling fortified and protected when it comes into contact with environmental aggressors. It’s a lightweight formula that will give your skin a plump and dewy glow throughout the day.

In the evenings, hand things over to the 24K Multi-Vitamin Night Nourishment + Retinol. As its name implies, retinol is one of the key actives in this formula. This vitamin A derivative is revered for how it can inhibit the appearance of aging skin, leaving the skin looking firmer, smoother, and brighter. Along with aloe vera leaf juice and sodium hyaluronate to hydrate the skin, plus jojoba oil and shea butter to moisturize, this cream will have you waking up to a fresh and radiant complexion at every age.

Step 7: Sun Protection

If you’re following this skincare routine at night, then this is a step that you can skip. However, during the day, it’s so important to round your skincare routine off with a sunscreen.

Studies have found that the sun causes up to 80% of the visible signs of facial aging. In fact, some even point to this figure being closer to 90%. This shocking statistic just goes to show how much you can protect your skin from the appearance of aging if you’re diligent about keeping it protected from the sun.

The OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 makes this easy. It acts as both a sunscreen as well as a moisturizer. This means that you can skip the previous step in this skincare routine if you’re using this two-in-one product. Its broad-spectrum formula will shield your skin from harmful UV rays while also keeping your complexion smooth, soft, and supple.

Everyone wants radiant skin but, unfortunately, very few people are blessed with a naturally flawless glow. This means that achieving radiant skin can take a little work, which, so long as you have the right skincare products and techniques by your side, is actually easier than many imagine.

Wondering where to get started? That’s what OROGOLD is here to help with! Read on as we share our ultimate guide to achieving a beautifully radiant complexion.

Establish a Good Cleansing Regimen

If you want your skin to look bright and radiant, then a good cleansing regimen is a must. Simply slapping on any face cleanser every few days whenever you happen to remember won’t cut it. Instead, you need to find yourself a high-quality cleanser – one that will clean your skin without drying it out. You’ll then need to use it regularly. If you have dry or sensitive skin, cleansing each evening will usually suffice. On the other hand, those with oily skin may need to cleanse twice a day.

To enhance your cleanse even further, consider double cleansing. This involves using an oil-based cleanser to begin with before following up with a water-based cleanser. It gives the skin an even more thorough cleanse, leaving it looking refreshed and dewy. 

We have a couple of exceptional cleansers at OROGOLD that you can try. With that said, one of our favorite formulas for achieving radiant skin is the 24K Vitamin C Facial Cleanser. This cleanser is loaded with ingredients that have been proven to effectively brighten and illuminate the complexion. From vitamin C and licorice root extract to lactic acid and gold, simply cleansing with this formula each day will already make a world of difference to your complexion.

Exfoliate Regularly

Unfortunately, even if you double cleanse daily, this on its own won’t be enough to give you radiant skin. After all, a cleanser only tackles impurities on the surface of your skin. Anything that has already delved into your pores won’t be touched by a cleanser, making it important to regularly exfoliate too.

When choosing an exfoliant, you have two main options; physical or chemical. Many physical exfoliants, such as face scrubs and loofahs, can be too harsh on the skin. At the same time, overly potent chemical exfoliants can irritate the skin too. 

That’s why we created the 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. This formula contains elements of both physical and chemical exfoliation, bringing them together in a way that thoroughly clears out the pores without irritating or damaging the skin. Bamboo stem powder works to physically slough off dead skin cells while mandelic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid derived from almonds, provides the chemical exfoliation. You’ll also find a number of vitamins and antioxidants in this superstar product, enabling you to reveal truly radiant skin each time you rinse it off.

Protect Your Skin From the Sun

If you aren’t properly protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays, then it’s unlikely that you’ll ever manage to achieve radiant skin. After all, UV rays cause so much damage. In the short term, they’ll leave your skin dull, rough, red, and irritated. In the long term, this translates to a faster rate of skin aging, meaning that fine lines, wrinkles, and dark spots will appear far sooner in life than they otherwise would have. Even worse, UV damage can also cause skin cancer.

For most people, a product with SPF 30 is sufficient. If you have sensitive skin, then, by all means, go with something stronger. However, SPF 30 is usually enough, so long as you’re diligent about reapplying it every few hours.

With many people now trying to cut back on how long their skincare routines are, 2-in-1 moisturizers and sunscreens, just like OROGOLD’s 24K Skin Tone SPF 30, are becoming more popular. This cream moisturizes and soothes the complexion while also ensuring that the sun’s UV rays are kept at bay. Use it daily throughout the year and your skin will thank you for it!

Add Vitamin C to Your Skincare Routine

There are plenty of ingredients out there that can contribute to radiant skin. However, most of them are only suited for certain skin types, which is what makes vitamin C such a superstar. This antioxidant plays well with all skin types, offering up a plethora of benefits.

If you’re hoping to tackle the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to smooth out the look of your skin, vitamin C can help. It firms and tightens the complexion, leaving it looking much younger. It aids in fading the visibility of hyperpigmentation too, and can also be used as a preventative to stop the appearance of dark spots from forming on the face.

If all of that wasn’t enough, vitamin C also leaves the skin feeling stronger and more resilient. This has the knock-on effect of boosting skin moisture levels, keeping the complexion hydrated.

The best way to make the most of these skin-loving properties is to use a vitamin C serum. Sure, vitamin C creams are great too, but serums are so much lighter, which allows them to dive a little deeper into the skin. 

You’ll find different forms of vitamin C in several OROGOLD serums. However, the 24K Rejuvenating Skin Serum stands out because of how it contains two forms of the antioxidant. It combines these with vitamins A and E since antioxidants always work best when used in conjunction with other antioxidants. At the same time, hemp seed oil and wheat germ oil provide moisture while gold helps to brighten the complexion even further.

Adjust Your Skincare Routine as the Seasons Change

It can take a while to establish a good skincare routine. There’s a fair bit of trial and error involved, especially if your skin easily reacts to different products. 

So, it can feel a little heartbreaking to finally create the perfect routine, only to then have to adjust it again as the seasons change. While you may be tempted to stick to the same regimen, we would highly recommend tweaking your skincare routine in line with seasonal shifts, especially if you’re hoping to achieve radiant skin.

Why is this so important?

Because your skin’s needs change with the seasons. During the warmer months, your skin produces extra oil. The heat and humidity trigger this, meaning that the skincare products that you use in the summer months should be relatively lightweight in order to avoid congesting your skin and clogging your pores. The mattifying properties of the 24K Rose Gold Radiance Silk Cream make it ideal for the summer season.

However, the skin usually feels much drier in the winter months. This is when sebum production slows down. You’ll need to turn to thicker creams, such as the 24K Rose Gold Advanced Cream, to save the day as your skin will require a little extra help when it comes to moisture retention.

Try Multi-Masking

Face masks are a great way to promote radiance in the skin. However, chances are that you have at least a couple of different visible skin concerns that you want to tackle, making it difficult for one mask to help with everything.

That’s why the multi-masking trend really took over the skincare world for a while. Unlike many of the other trends that often crop up, this one really holds some merit. It involves using multiple face masks at the same time, each one applied to a different area of the face. This way, you’ll be able to pick and choose face masks that target each of your individual skin concerns. You won’t have to worry about finding one formula that does it all.

Of course, the downside to multi-masking is that you’ll need to find masks that are designed to remain on the skin for similar amounts of time. However, this doesn’t need to be difficult, especially if you’re using OROGOLD face masks.

For example, the 24K Termica Energizing Mask is a fantastic formula for leaving the skin feeling detoxified. Apply this to any areas of your face that often experienced clogged or enlarged pores, such as your t-zone. 

You can then apply the 24K Deep Lift Stretching Mask to the areas of your face that could do with looking lifted and firmer. Then, apply the 24K Advanced Facial Mask to the dry and dull parts of your face, before swiping the 24K Skin Balancing Mask Stick over your fine lines and wrinkles.

Wait for 10-15 minutes before washing all of your face masks off to reveal stunningly radiant skin!

Focus on Hydrating Your Skin

Hydrated skin looks plump, dewy, and radiant. On the other hand, dehydrated skin looks…well, the opposite. So, it goes without saying that if you want to add a glow to your face, keeping your skin hydrated is vital.

Thankfully, this is easy. All you need to do is look for skincare products that are jam-packed with humectants. These are ingredients that have moisture-binding properties. They’re great for making the skin look brighter, fuller, and more volumized, which will therefore leave it looking more radiant too.

Hyaluronic acid and glycerin tend to be the most talked-about humectants in the industry. You’ll find them both, along with squalane, in the OROGOLD 24K Golden Dew Serum-in-Cream. This formula also contains a cocktail of plant oils, including avocado, sweet almond, and grape seed. These oils form a film over the surface of the skin, locking the humectants in the formula into the skin so that they’re able to work even more effectively.

Don’t forget that some people are more prone to dehydrated skin than others. So, work out how often you need to hydrate your skin in order for it to look radiant. While some people can get away with using a moisturizer once or twice a day, others need regular top-ups throughout the day in order to keep their skin looking its very best.

Want your skincare routine to be as perfect as possible? 

While everyone has their own preferences as to how long their skincare routine should be, these are the seven steps that OROGOLD recommends following each and every day for a bright, smooth, and glowing complexion.

Step 1: Remove Any Makeup

If you don’t wear makeup, then you have one less step to follow. However, for those of you that do, it’s essential that you remove it before applying anything else to your skin. While you may be tempted to skip this step too and simply remove your makeup while you’re cleansing, you’ll experience much better results from your skincare routine if you double cleanse.

The OROGOLD 24K Mousse Cleanser is a great formula for removing even the most stubborn makeup. Mousse cleansers are loved for how they lift away makeup particles without drying the skin out. This one forms a creamy lather that will leave your face looking clear and makeup-free.

Step 2: Cleanse Your Skin

Now that you’ve removed your makeup, it’s time to cleanse your skin. This is the step that clears away all of the dirt, oil, and dead skin cells that are littering the surface of your skin, preventing any other skincare products from soaking through. 

If you were planning on skipping this step because you already used a cleanser to remove your makeup – don’t. With your makeup gone, cleansing again will allow your cleanser to thoroughly work its magic on your skin. Double cleansing is extremely beneficial if you regularly wear makeup – try it for a while and you’ll see the improvements in your skin for yourself!

For the ultimate cleanse, we’d recommend turning to the OROGOLD 24K Vitamin C Facial Cleanser. In addition to vitamin C, it’s also enriched with vitamins A and E. Together, they’ll brighten and tighten your complexion, especially when combined with the licorice root extract in this formula. Add in some lactic acid to clear away dead skin cells and witch hazel extract to shrink the look of your pores and you have an incredible formula that’s ideal for daily use.

Step 3: Swipe on a Toner

Toners may not be in the limelight as much as other skincare products, but these unsung heroes can really work wonders on the complexion. The right toner is capable of hydrating, soothing, and brightening the complexion while leaving it feeling more receptive to other products that are applied over the top.

If your skincare routine is currently lacking a toner, consider the OROGOLD 24K Purifying Toner. It contains aloe vera leaf juice to hydrate the skin, along with cucumber fruit extract and organic chamomile extract to soothe the complexion. This alcohol-free formula is also infused with real gold, which will give your appearance a glow.

Even more convenient is the spray nozzle that this toner’s bottle boasts. It makes application so easy – simply point and press! You can then either leave it to sink into your skin or use a cotton pad to spread it around more evenly.

Step 4: Apply a Vitamin C Serum

While it’s always good to look for serums that target the visible skin concerns that you’re dealing with, a vitamin C serum is something that benefits everyone, no matter their skin type. 

Vitamin C is such a fabulous multi-tasker. There is so much research out there that proves how the ingredient can assist with everything from the appearance of photodamage to excessive dryness. No matter what your skin may be going through, you can count on vitamin C to help.

When choosing a vitamin C serum, look for one that offers two forms of vitamin C, rather than just one. The OROGOLD 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum is a great example. With both tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate and ascorbyl palmitate, this formula provides a double dose of skincare’s most-loved antioxidant. 

Even better, this serum combines vitamin C with vitamins A and E. As we mentioned earlier, the three work extremely well together, making this serum capable of improving your complexion in so many different ways.

Step 5: Apply Another Targeted Serum

While you could go ahead and use just one serum in your skincare routine, it can definitely be advantageous to incorporate two. This way, you’ll be able to tackle your visible skin concerns from multiple angles, which is what you need to be doing if you want to see results as soon as possible.

Pick a serum that targets the specific skin concerns that you’re dealing with. For example, if you’re hoping to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, then our 24K Kelp Caviar Micro-Bead Serum would be ideal for you. This exquisite blend, which contains vitamins, peptides, and green tea extract, will tighten and firm your complexion, leaving your skin looking smooth and crease-free.

On the other hand, if you’re trying to brighten the look of your skin and fade the visibility of dark spots, check out the OROGOLD 24K Termica Activation Serum. It contains a powerful cocktail of ingredients that are famous for how they lighten the look of discoloration while adding radiance to the complexion. From kojic acid and licorice root extract to vitamin C and green tea extract, this serum is exactly what you need if your skin has been looking dull and discolored.

If you’d like to try something a little different, then take a peek at our 24K Rose Gold Age Glow Duo. This two-step system starts with a powder that transforms into a liquid as it’s applied to the skin. It’s topped off with a serum, with the full set suitable for weekly use. With an ingredient line-up consisting of resveratrol, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and a number of botanical extracts, this serum will leave you looking smoother, firmer, and brighter.

Step 6: Moisturize Your Skin

A moisturizer serves a few different purposes. Firstly, it helps to improve the skin’s moisture content. It does this by pampering the skin with hydrating ingredients, while also sealing off the skin’s surface to prevent moisture from evaporating into the air.

This seal that a moisturizer forms has another benefit too; it pushes all of the serums that you’ve already applied deeper into your skin. Without a moisturizer on top, a large percentage of your serums would end up evaporating away, making your skincare routine less effective. By topping them off with a moisturizer, your skin will be able to soak up even more goodness.

Ideally, you should have two moisturizers to turn to; one for the morning and another for the evening. A day moisturizer works best when it’s lighter in texture, whereas a night cream should be slightly thicker and richer. 

So, for daytime use, check out the OROGOLD 24K Nano Day Recovery. It’s packed with lightweight hydrating ingredients, including sodium hyaluronate and seaweed extract. At the same time, it also contains vitamins and antioxidants to keep your skin feeling protected from environmental damage. Thanks to its gel-like texture, this moisturizer sinks in quickly and feels weightless on the skin. You can even apply makeup over the top with ease.

In the evenings, we’d recommend using the 24K Multi Vitamin Night Nourishment + Retinol. Retinol is a fantastic ingredient for reducing the visible signs of damage and aging. Research confirms that regular use will leave the skin feeling thicker and stronger. The results are even more impressive when retinol is combined with other vitamins. This is why you’ll also find retinyl palmitate (another form of vitamin A) and vitamin E in this cream.

Step 7: SPF

While you don’t need to worry about SPF in the evenings, it’s imperative during the day. The sun’s UV rays severely damage the protein fibers in the skin, which drastically accelerates the skin aging process. Let’s not also forget the connection between UV exposure and skin cancer.

This is where SPF comes in. Keeping your skin protected with sunscreen will stop UV rays from wreaking their damage. So long as you regularly reapply your sunscreen every few hours, your skin will remain protected.

Ideally, look for a broad-spectrum formula with an SPF of at least 30. If you’re not keen on adding an extra step to your skincare routine, then a moisturizer that contains SPF is a good alternative, just like OROGOLD’s 24K Skin Tone SPF 30. This moisturizer is sheer and lightweight, making it perfect for daytime use. In addition to blocking UV damage, it will also deeply hydrate your skin while helping to keep your skin feeling protected from other forms of environmental damage.

Additional Steps to Add in Once a Week

The skincare routine that we’ve shared above is one that you can follow every day. However, once a week, there are a couple of extra steps that you should be adding in:

Exfoliate

Exfoliation is vital for a healthy-looking complexion. It’ll clear away your dead skin cells, keeping your pores free of blockages.

Chemical exfoliants are known for being gentler than physical exfoliants, which is why the 24K Multi Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid is such a hit. Mandelic acid is an alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that comes from almonds. It’s much gentler than the other AHAs out there, making this formula suitable for all skin types.

Use a Face Mask

Although a face mask isn’t as essential a step as exfoliation, it would still be worth adding one to your weekly skincare routine. Apply a face mask to freshly exfoliated skin and it will be able to work its magic even more efficiently. 

As always, pick a face mask that targets your visible skin concerns. If your skin looks dull and drab, the 24K Rose Gold Hydro Mask won’t disappoint. It’s infused with rose hip seed extract, seaweed extract, and sodium hyaluronate to brighten and plump up the look of your skin.

The 24K Deep Lift Stretching Mask is another one of our bestsellers. This formula has been designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving the skin looking smoother, firmer, and younger.

Create a Flawless Skincare Routine With OROGOLD

If your skincare routine hasn’t been producing satisfactory results, then it would be well worth reassessing the steps that you follow to ensure that you’re giving your skin all that it needs. Consider adding in a few of the potent OROGOLD formulas featured above and it won’t be long before your skincare routine starts working even more efficiently.

Have you ever wondered how some people manage to sustain beautifully youthful skin, even as they progress into the later years of their lives? 

Well, in some cases, it’s down to genetics. However, most of the time, that youthful skin is brought about due to the love and attention that people lavish on their complexion. Using the right skincare products can really go a long way in keeping the visible signs of aging at bay.

So, which ingredients should you be looking out for if you want your skin to look as fresh and young as possible? Read on as OROGOLD shares the very best!

Sodium Hyaluronate

First up, one of skincare’s most popular ingredients at the moment; sodium hyaluronate. You may not have heard of it, but you’re likely familiar with hyaluronic acid, which is where sodium hyaluronate comes from. The main difference between the two is that sodium hyaluronate features a much smaller molecular size. This allows it to dive deeper into the skin.

Human skin naturally produces hyaluronic acid – youthful skin is full of it! However, with age comes a decline. Since hyaluronic acid is largely responsible for hydrating the skin and keeping it looking plump and full, the lack of it causes a dull, hollow, and sallow appearance.

That’s what makes topical sodium hyaluronate such a game-changer. It has an immediate hydrating effect, restoring the look of volume and radiance to the skin. Its moisture-binding properties keep skin cells looking supple, soft, and so much younger.

You’ll find sodium hyaluronate in several OROGOLD skincare products. However, one formula that really showcases its fast-acting effects is the 24K Golden Multi-Corrective Solution. In addition to sodium hyaluronate, it also contains a number of other complexion-plumping humectants, plus vitamins and antioxidants to help restore the appearance of vitality to your skin.

Vitamin A

When it comes to achieving the appearance of youthful skin, just about every dermatologist would recommend vitamin A. It has been around for decades, with so many studies confirming how retinoids can dramatically reduce the visible signs of aging. They smooth away the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, lighten the look of discoloration, and tighten the overall complexion.

While that may be the case, you need to be careful about the retinoid that you pick. Overly potent concentrations of certain derivatives can lead to skin irritation and purging.

That’s why retinyl palmitate is such a hit. It provides all of the fantastic results that retinoids are revered for, yet it won’t cause irritation to your skin. In fact, it’s gentle enough to even be used on the delicate skin around the eyes, which is why you’ll find it in our 24K Intensive Eye Formula Cream. 

This eye cream is infused with a number of ingredients that will help to keep your skin looking energetic and young. In addition to retinyl palmitate, peptides feature heavily in this blend. Just like hyaluronic acid, peptides are naturally plentiful in youthful skin. They keep the complexion soft and moisturized, which is why roughness and dryness are often experienced as natural peptide production slows down with age. 

Ceramides

Yet another compound that’s heavily present in youthful skin, ceramides are lipids that can be found in the skin’s protective barrier. Their main purpose is to keep the skin hydrated while preventing irritants from entering the skin’s deeper layers.

Youthful skin is hydrated skin, making ceramides a great ingredient to use if you’re trying to turn back the clock on your complexion. There are various ceramides out there, with ceramide-2 particularly beneficial at hydrating and moisturizing the skin.

You’ll find the ingredient in the OROGOLD 24K Termica Activation Serum. This formula has been designed to brighten the look of the skin while reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles, making it a must-try if a youthful complexion is your aim. In addition to ceramide-2, it also brings you peptides, seaweed extract, sodium hyaluronate, and green tea extract, enabling it to tackle the appearance of aging from every angle.

Vitamin C

You probably already know how important vitamin C is when it comes to achieving the appearance of youthful skin. After all, just about every dermatologist, beauty blogger, and skincare brand out there is raving about it.

And they’re definitely not wrong. Vitamin C’s popularity lies in how it’s able to boost the complexion in multiple ways. It firms and tightens the appearance, which, in turn, smooths away the look of fine lines and wrinkles. At the same time, it addresses the visibility of hyperpigmentation, lightening the look of discolored skin to balance out the complexion. It helps to keep the skin hydrated too, while also soothing the feeling of inflammation.

As you can see, it’s the ultimate multi-tasker, making it well worth adding to your skincare routine. At OROGOLD, we love the ingredient so much that we have an entire collection dedicated to it. However, if you were to pick just one product to use, make it the 24K Vitamin C Booster Facial Serum.

This silky serum is loaded with two forms of vitamin C, meaning double the results. It contains vitamins A and E too, both of which are also superstars at reducing and preventing the visible signs of aging.

Green Tea Extract

There are so many different botanical extracts used in skincare, with each one offering its own unique array of benefits. Just about every plant extract out there will be brimming with antioxidants, but one that manages to outshine the rest is green tea extract.

Its effects are thanks to EGCG. This phenolic compound has been proven to help with everything from repairing the look of sun damage to calming the feeling of inflammation. It tackles the visibility of skin aging too, while also rebalancing how oily the skin feels to reduce the appearance of acne breakouts.

It’s an ingredient that’s well-suited to every skin type, which is why you’ll find green tea extract in such an array of skincare products. It has been included in plenty of OROGOLD formulas too, such as the 24K Termica HD Solution. 

This product is all about providing a smooth, matte, and illuminated finish. It combines green tea extract with a number of other botanicals, including sea buckthorn, chamomile, and cucumber. It also contains sodium hyaluronate, vitamin A, and a sprinkling of meteorite powder to give the skin a luminescent glow.

Resveratrol

Youthful skin usually alludes to skin that hasn’t yet been affected by environmental damage. While this is difficult to completely avoid, environmental damage isn’t usually visible until the later stages of life. It takes a while to build up in the skin, which is why youthful skin tends to look so flawless.

However, once all of that environmental damage has accumulated, it takes its toll on the skin. From dark spots to accelerated skin aging, this damage is a major part of what detracts from a person’s youthful complexion.

How do you repair the look of environmental damage? That’s where antioxidants come in. We’ve already discussed the potency of EGCG, which is one of the antioxidants in green tea extract. However, another powerful antioxidant worth adding to your skincare routine is resveratrol.

Derived from the skin of red grapes and other foods, resveratrol is often taken as an oral supplement. However, it works brilliantly when applied topically too. It will reduce the appearance of skin damage while brightening the complexion. Regular use can make the skin look so much younger, which is why the OROGOLD 24K Rose Gold Age Glow Duo is worth the investment. 

This is a two-step skincare system. You start by applying the 24K Rose Gold Multi-Vital Liquid Powder to your skin, massaging it in until it turns into a liquid. The resveratrol contained in these droplets will quickly soak into your skin. After this, you follow up with the 24K Rose Gold Enriching Serum, which is packed with even more antioxidants. Use this set weekly and you’ll soon be enjoying a vibrant glow.

Mandelic Acid

You’re probably already aware of how important exfoliation is when it comes to keeping the complexion looking youthful. It clears away the dull and dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, revealing the radiance beneath. It also removes any clogs from within the pores, therefore preventing the appearance of inflammation and breakouts.

In terms of how you should be exfoliating, you have a few options. If you’re trying to obtain a youthful finish, then chemical exfoliants are the better option. These contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs), which are extremely effective at exfoliating the skin.

While that may be the case, aging skin is pretty delicate. Some AHAs are simply too strong for its fragility, so you need to be careful about which you pick. That’s where mandelic acid can be a game-changer. Unlike other AHAs, mandelic acid, which is derived from almonds, features a much larger molecular size. This means that it’s far less likely to cause irritation, and it won’t damage your skin either. At the same time, it will still exfoliate beautifully.

Give mandelic acid a try for yourself with the OROGOLD 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. While mandelic acid is the star of this formula, it also contains bamboo powder to physically exfoliate the skin too. Vitamins A, C, and E make an appearance as well, as do several hydrating and moisturizing compounds. These are key in any good exfoliant. They’ll prevent the skin from feeling vulnerable and dry post-exfoliation, leaving it looking stronger and smoother instead.

Hoping to Achieve Youthful Skin?

While you may have enjoyed effortlessly flawless skin in your youth, this becomes much harder to maintain as a person grows older. From the natural aging process to environmental damage, your skin has so much to deal with as it progresses through life. Keeping your skin looking youthful as this happens definitely requires some extra effort, as well as plenty of consistency when it comes to your skincare routine. However, pamper your skin with the ingredients featured above and you’ll be able to keep the visible signs of aging at bay so that you can enjoy a naturally bright and youthful complexion for many more years to come.

Skincare advice can vary depending on who’s dishing it out, but one thing that everyone agrees on is that a person’s skin type should influence the skincare products that they use. Fill your skincare routine with products that don’t play well with your skin type and you could end up overloaded with a number of skin concerns.

However, this is often easier said than done. How exactly do you go about ensuring that you’re using the right products? 

That’s where OROGOLD can help. Read on to learn everything you need to know about matching your skin type to the perfect skincare products.

Identifying Your Skin Type

First things first, make sure that you know what your skin type is. You may think that you do, but it’s always worth a quick reassessment if you haven’t been paying attention to your skin for a while. Skin types can change due to everything from hormones to aging, so you’ll likely experience a few of them as you progress through your life.

Here’s a quick guide to help you figure out exactly what your skin type is:

• Dry Skin: Dry skin doesn’t produce enough sebum, leaving it feeling dry to the touch. Flakiness and itching are common, and you’ll likely also sport quite a rough and dull complexion.
• Oily Skin: Oily skin produces too much sebum, which leaves the skin greasy and shiny. The pores usually look larger too, and breakouts are a common occurrence.
• Combination Skin: Combination skin is a combination of oily and dry. It’s usually the T-zone (nose and forehead) that’s oily with the cheeks being dry, but the dry/oily areas can vary with each individual.
• Sensitive Skin: Sensitive skin features a compromised skin barrier, making it easily reactive. Redness, inflammation, irritation, and stinging are all common symptoms.
• Normal Skin: The rarest skin type, normal skin looks clear and even, without noticeable blemishes. It produces just the right amount of sebum to keep the skin moisturized without leaving it greasy.

Choosing Skincare Products for Dry Skin

If you have dry skin, then you need to look for skincare products that moisturize and hydrate your skin. By replenishing the lost moisture in your skin, you’ll be able to alleviate that dry feeling. Humectants, such as sodium hyaluronate and glycerin, are great for this.

It can also help to turn to natural oils and butters that help to seal off the skin’s surface. These will prevent moisture from evaporating away, making them the perfect companion to moisture-binding humectants.

The 24K Rose Gold Advanced Cream

It’s so important to keep dry skin constantly moisturized, and the 24K Rose Gold Advanced Cream will do just that. Designed specifically for dry skin types, this pink-hued moisturizer contains a wide selection of humectants and plant oils. From rose hip to sunflower to seaweed, it’s packed with some of the most moisturizing botanicals that nature has to offer.

This moisturizer also contains vitamin E and peptides. Both ingredients will help to thicken the feel of your skin’s barrier. This will help to cut back on how dry your skin feels in the long run.

24K Deep Moisturizer

Another fantastic face cream for dry skin is the 24K Deep Moisturizer. With shea butter as its base, this formula feels beautifully velvety, yet absorbs quickly when applied to thirsty skin.

This moisturizer is infused with several vitamins too, including vitamin C and two forms of vitamin E. Combined with gotu kola extract, white tea leaf extract, and chamomile extract, this cream will immediately leave your skin feeling touchably soft and smooth.

24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid

Dry skin can often look quite rough, with dead skin cells quickly building up. Exfoliation helps to clear this dull layer away, but many exfoliants can actually make dry skin even worse in the long run.

That’s why we created the 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. It’s a gentle exfoliant compared to many of the others out there, but what makes it truly unique is how it combines elements of both manual and chemical exfoliation. Featuring bamboo powder and mandelic acid as its exfoliating agents, along with jojoba oil, coconut oil, and green tea leaf extract, this formula will soften and brighten your complexion without drying it out.

Choosing Skincare Products for Oily Skin

When dealing with oily skin, you need products that will help to cut back on how greasy your skin feels. Look for lightweight formulas that will mattify your complexion, rather than weighing it down.

It would also be a good idea to seek out ingredients proven to reduce the feeling of inflammation in the skin. This will help to prevent the appearance of acne in the future.

The 24K Deep Facial Brush Set

Exfoliation is important when working with oily skin. However, since there’s an extra layer of oil to penetrate through, regular exfoliants can sometimes benefit from a helping hand. That’s where the 24K Deep Facial Brush Set comes in. 

This battery-powered device comes with two heads. One massages the skin while the other exfoliates. Use this brush once a week instead of your regular exfoliant to leave your skin feeling deeply cleansed and purified.

24K Rejuvenating Skin Serum

If your skin is extremely oily, then water-based skincare products may struggle to access your skin cells. Sometimes, water-free formulas can be more beneficial, which is why the OROGOLD 24K Rejuvenating Skin Serum is a must-try. 

This serum is infused with all of the major vitamins that your complexion needs to glow, including A, E, and two forms of vitamin C. It also contains wheat germ oil and hemp seed oil. Both will help to rebalance how oily your skin feels while giving your skin cells the hydration that they need to thrive.

24K Termica Activation Serum 

Oily skin is highly prone to breakouts, and these can often leave dark marks on the skin. Fortunately, there are some incredible ingredients out there that have been proven to fade the look of discolored skin, and you’ll find several of them in the 24K Termica Activation Serum. 

From kojic acid and licorice root extract to vitamin C, vitamin A, and green tea leaf extract, this formula combines some of the best complexion-lightening ingredients in the industry to give the skin a brighter and more even finish.

Choosing Skincare Products for Combination Skin

Some people with combination skin invest in two sets of skincare products; one lot will be for their dry areas and the other will target their oilier patches. This method can be beneficial as it enables you to give each area of your skin exactly what it needs.

That said, there are some products out there that can be beneficial to both dry and oily skin. They contain ingredients that hydrate and moisturize without clogging pores, with vitamins, humectants, and certain plant extracts being prime examples.

The 24K Mousse Cleanser

Even if you decide to go down the route of purchasing separate products for your dry and oily areas, it can be difficult to restrict a cleanser to specific parts of your face. This means that you need a formula that’s safe for both dry and oily skin, just like our 24K Mousse Cleanser.

In this formula, gentle cleansing agents are combined with lightweight plant oils and extracts. The result is a blend that thoroughly clears away any excess oil lingering on the surface of the skin without drying the skin out.

24K Kelp Caviar Micro Bead Serum

If you’re looking for a way to hydrate your skin without leaving your oily areas feeling greasy, turn to the 24K Kelp Caviar Micro Bead Serum.

This formula is loaded with humectants, including glycerin, aloe vera leaf extract, and kelp extract. It’s also infused with a range of antioxidant-rich botanicals to help brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

24K Deep Lift Stretching Mask

Multi-masking can be extremely beneficial for people with combination skin types. However, chances are that you won’t always have the time for that, so consider the 24K Deep Lift Stretching Mask for when you need a formula that can be used all over your face. 

This mask will draw out excess oil to leave your oily areas looking detoxified and grease-free. At the same time, it will hydrate your skin to give the dry parts of your face a plumper and softer feel.

Choosing Skincare Products for Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin can be tricky to shop for. Ideally, you need to first identify your skin’s irritants. This makes it much easier to avoid products containing them.

That said, you won’t go wrong when looking for skincare products designed to soothe and calm the feeling of inflammation and irritation. Ingredients that leave the skin barrier feeling stronger and more resilient are also beneficial.

24K Purifying Toner

Even an extremely gentle cleanser can leave sensitive skin feeling irritated. A toner is a great way to soothe your complexion post-cleanse, with the 24K Purifying Toner being particularly effective.

With a blend of aloe vera, chamomile, cucumber, and allantoin, this hydrating formula will quickly calm the look of your skin, diminishing the appearance of redness and inflammation.

24K Deep Tissue Rejuvenation Mask & Collagen Renewal Eye Mask

Hydrogel masks are fantastic for sensitive skin. They’re packed with moisture and feel wonderfully soothing and refreshing – exactly what sensitive skin needs!

If you haven’t tried one yet, treat yourself to OROGOLD’s 24K Deep Tissue Rejuvenation Mask & Collagen Eye Mask. Featuring a number of hydrating ingredients, this mask will leave sensitive skin feeling perfectly balanced and deeply restored.

Choosing Skincare Products for Normal Skin

Chances are that your skin type isn’t normal. If it were, you probably wouldn’t be reading this since you would be able to use just about every skincare product out there! The only exceptions would be when it comes to products designed specifically to treat the visible symptoms of one of the other skin types – these formulas could unbalance your skin.

However, if you’re shopping at OROGOLD, you won’t need to worry about this. All of our formulas will work well on normal skin types, so get browsing!

Summary

When you first begin your skincare journey, learning how to choose the right skincare products for your skin type can seem like a challenge. However, once you learn more about the various ingredients and products that your skin type needs to thrive, shopping for skincare will soon become second nature!

People have been using natural skincare ingredients for centuries. From shea butter, honey, and gold, which were revered by the Ancient Egyptians, to goji berries and green tea, which were loved in Ancient China, the historic use of these ingredients is so widespread.

While that may be the case, there’s no denying that some natural skincare ingredients function far more efficiently than others. The modern-day world means that we now have access to ingredients from all over the planet, so it only makes sense to pick and choose the very best ones for your skin.

So, when it comes down to it, which are the natural skincare ingredients that really work? Read on as OROGOLD shares some of the most effective.

Gold

When people talk about natural skincare ingredients, they usually refer to plant-derived extracts and oils. However, the natural world has plenty else on offer too, including precious metals. While some of the natural skincare ingredients on this list may be modern-day marvels, gold is one that has been used since ancient times, and for good reason.

Gold has a number of purposes in skincare. For starters, it soothes the look of inflammation and redness, giving the skin a beautiful radiance. It also helps to repair the appearance of environmental damage while reducing the visibility of fine lines and wrinkles.

In fact, gold is such an impressive multitasker that it’s our signature ingredient at OROGOLD. You’ll find it in every single one of our skincare products, making it easier than ever to give your skin a gorgeous glow.

Aloe Vera Leaf Extract

When it comes to natural skincare ingredients that hydrate the skin, nothing quite compares to aloe vera. Not only does the plant itself have a high water content, but it also acts as a humectant. This means that it has moisture-binding properties that enable it to immediately plump up the complexion, leaving the skin looking dewy.

Even better, aloe vera boasts some truly powerful antioxidants. This allows it to neutralize the appearance of free radical damage, leaving the skin feeling stronger and healthier. Of course, aloe vera feels incredibly soothing on the skin too, making it a delight to apply! 

With aloe vera being such a skincare wonder, you’ll find this ingredient in several OROGOLD products. However, one formula that really highlights the properties of the botanical is the 24K Cryogenic Contour Eye Firming. It’s an eye cream that combines aloe vera with several other natural skincare ingredients to firm, de-puff, and hydrate the look of the eye area. Use it daily for maximum benefits.

French Lavender Extract

Many of the natural skincare ingredients on this list are well-known, but French lavender extract is a little less so. Sure, you may be familiar with the heady scent that lavender is loved for, but did you know that there are 47 types of lavender out there? When it comes to skin benefits, French lavender comes out on top.

French lavender is revered for how it calms the feeling of inflammation in the skin. This makes it a useful tool in helping with the appearance of several skin concerns, including acne and psoriasis. It will soothe your complexion and lower the feeling of irritation, giving your skin a relaxed and balanced finish. It’s also a great ingredient for regulating how oily the skin feels, making it ideal for those who often find themselves dealing with clogged pores and acne.

You’ll find French lavender extract in the OROGOLD 24K Caviar Elastin Restoration. This is an encapsulated serum, meaning that each dose of the serum is packaged in a small capsule. This keeps each dose potently fresh, allowing you to fully benefit from how this formula focuses on plumping, soothing, and hydrating the complexion.

Shea Butter

Another natural ingredient that dates back to historic times is shea butter. Shea butter’s biggest claim to fame is how it intensely moisturizes the skin. It’s loaded with essential fatty acids that leave the skin barrier feeling thicker and better supported. As a result, in addition to giving your skin some instant moisture, it will also help with future moisture retention, so long as you use it regularly.

Our 24K Classic Body Butter makes this easy. Thanks to its velvety texture, this rich body cream feels ultra-indulgent when applied. Its main goal is to hydrate and moisturize the skin, leaving the body looking significantly smoother and softer. Slather it over your skin as soon as you step out of the shower for maximum benefits.

Rosemary Leaf Extract

You may be familiar with it as a culinary herb, but rosemary leaf extract also happens to be one of the best natural skincare ingredients to be applying to your face. It contains a compound called rosmarinic acid, which has been shown to reduce the appearance of skin inflammation. It also helps to boost the feel of the skin barrier while improving the look of the skin’s surface texture.

Rosemary extract is also loved for how it tightens the complexion. It’s a great botanical to use if you’re trying to combat the visible signs of skin aging as it’s packed with antioxidants.

To add rosemary leaf extract to your skincare routine, check out our 24K Cryogenic Magnolift Mask. Not only is this magnetic face mask so much fun to use, but it’s also infused with some of the best natural skincare ingredients around. It will help to smooth out and contour the look of your face while leaving your skin feeling deeply purified.

Jojoba Seed Oil

Certain plant oils are known for their heavy, occlusive properties. This means that they sit on top of the skin’s surface and form their own barrier, which spells bad news for people with oily skin. However, jojoba oil is different. The molecular structure of this botanical very closely mimics that of the skin’s sebum. As a result, the skin readily drinks it up.

Once absorbed into the skin, jojoba oil is highly effective at regulating how oily the skin feels. It’s one of the best oils to use on oily skin, yet it’s also hydrating enough to be a game-changer for people with dry skin too. The icing on the cake is how it’s brimming with antioxidants as well. This means that it can help to reduce the appearance of environmental damage.

While you’ll find jojoba oil in a few different OROGOLD formulas, it’s one of the main components of our 24K Deep Lift Stretching Mask. This face mask has been designed to firm, tighten, and lift the look of aging skin. Thanks to a hefty concentration of vitamins and antioxidants, it does this beautifully. Use it weekly and it won’t be long before your skin looks noticeably younger.

Chamomile Extract

If you’re looking for natural skincare ingredients that will soothe and relax the feel of your skin, then chamomile extract is a must-try. This botanical is loaded with powerful polyphenols and phytochemicals that quickly calm the feeling of stressed-out skin. They also help to protect the complexion from free radical damage.

Chamomile extract is an ingredient that every skin type accepts, making it another one that’s widely used in OROGOLD products. It’s extremely gentle on the skin – you won’t need to worry about side effects. To treat your face to this ingredient, check out our 24K Nano Night Recovery. It’s a silky serum that will have you waking up to skin that looks dewy and rejuvenated.

If you’d prefer to use this botanical in cream form, then our 24K Deep Moisturizer is the way to go. Even better, combine this cream with the serum above to enjoy a double dose of chamomile goodness!

Licorice Root Extract

People often turn to harsh chemicals when they want to lighten the look of discolored skin. However, those ingredients are notorious for their side effects, making it wise to try natural alternatives first. This is where licorice root extract comes in.

Studies confirm that licorice root extract can successfully fade the look of hyperpigmentation. Whether you’re dealing with the appearance of dark spots from teenage acne breakouts or melasma caused by hormonal fluctuations, licorice root extract can help to rebalance your complexion to leave it looking bright and even.

Since the eye area is highly prone to discoloration, we’ve included licorice root extract in our 24K Intensive Eye Formula Cream. This product is all about reducing the look of dark shadows and circles around the eyes. It also de-puffs the appearance while smoothing away the visibility of crow’s feet. Use it each night before bed to wake up with an eye area that looks smooth and bright.

Mangosteen Fruit Extract

Mangosteens are a tropical and relatively rare fruit. People love them for their uniquely sweet flavor. However, research also points to how this ingredient can help with a variety of different visible skin concerns too. 

For starters, it has powerful antioxidant properties. These are vital when it comes to reducing the appearance of skin aging, which mangosteen extract has been proven to do. This botanical is also fantastic at calming the look of inflamed and irritated skin. Even better, it will mattify the complexion at the same time.

You’ll find this fruit extract in the OROGOLD 24K Cryogenic Pearl Revival Elixir. This serum not only illuminates the complexion but also targets the visible signs of skin aging, including the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

Green Tea Leaf Extract

Let’s round things off with one of the most-studied natural skincare ingredients out there; green tea extract. Why is it so popular? Because it’s an amazing source of EGCG, a potent antioxidant that can protect the appearance from sun damage.

In addition to ensuring that the skin feels protected, EGCG can also reduce the look of existing damage. Whether this may be wrinkles, dark spots, or anything else that has been triggered by UV rays, green tea extract is what you need to repair your complexion.

Since green tea extract is such a mainstream ingredient, chances are that it’s already present in your skincare routine. However, if it’s not, give the OROGOLD 24K Intensive Eye Serum a try. It combines green tea extract with licorice root extract and a number of other botanicals to restore and revive the look of the skin around the eyes.

When it comes to the importance of sunscreen, we all know the basics; sunscreen helps to protect the skin from the sun’s UV rays.

However, what exactly do these UV rays do to the skin? And how do you go about choosing the best sunscreen for your skin? Read on – OROGOLD has all of the answers!

The Importance of Sunscreen Explained

We’re told time and time again to respect the importance of sunscreen. However, it becomes so much easier to do this once you fully understand the role that sunscreen plays in keeping your skin looking and feeling healthy. Let’s take a look at just a few of the ways in which a good sunscreen could help your skin and body:

It Prevents the Appearance of Premature Aging

If you’re hoping to keep the appearance of skin aging at bay for as long as possible, then you need to be committed to wearing a sunscreen. 

The sun’s UV rays are extremely damaging to the collagen and elastin fibers in your skin. These are the proteins that give your skin its structure and volume. Without them, the skin sags and loosens, resulting in wrinkles and an aged appearance.

For many people, the importance of sunscreen is all about keeping their complexion youthful. There is so much research out there confirming how the use of sunscreen can prevent the look of aging, making SPF vital if you want to avoid developing a wrinkled appearance.

It Lowers Your Risk of Skin Cancer

For many people, the importance of sunscreen is all about maintaining a healthy appearance. However, the sun’s UV rays go beneath the surface of the skin and wreak havoc on a much deeper level. When this happens, skin cancer is formed. As you probably know, this can have devastating effects.

Even more frightening is how the prevalence of skin cancer is on the rise. Statistics show that 1 in 5 Americans will likely develop skin cancer by the time they hit the age of 70, making it vital to keep your skin protected with a sunscreen.

It Prevents the Appearance of Hyperpigmentation

Whenever your skin comes into contact with the sun’s UV rays, it produces melanin. This is your skin’s pigment. It’s responsible for the color of your skin, but its main purpose is to provide a natural defense against UV rays.

In theory, this is great. If melanin can keep your skin protected from the sun, then bring it on – you will also need fewer visits to a dermatologist – it’s a win-win!

Unfortunately, in reality, it doesn’t work quite that way. Melanin will only provide protection to a certain extent. After this, unprotected skin is still highly susceptible to damage.

Even worse, when the skin starts to produce too much melanin, it isn’t able to spread these cells evenly throughout the skin (in the way that it does when it gives you a tan). As a result, the pigment ends up clustering underneath certain areas of your skin, resulting in those parts of your face or body taking on a darker and discolored appearance.

It can take a while to treat the visibility of dark spots, making prevention with a sunscreen a far better plan. 

It Reduces the Risk of Sunburn

Chances are that you’ve been sunburnt at least once in your life. However, did you know that experiencing five sunburns doubles your risk of developing skin cancer?

Not only that, but sunburns can also lead to other forms of skin damage, including scarring. Not to mention, they can be very painful! By keeping your skin protected with a sunscreen, your complexion will be able to remain sunburn-free!

It Reduces the Feeling of Inflammation

Sunburns are an inflammatory reaction to the sun’s UV rays. However, even if your skin doesn’t burn, don’t be fooled into thinking that the sun hasn’t triggered your skin’s inflammatory response.

Even a small amount of sun exposure can lead to inflammation in the skin. You may not be able to see it from the surface (although you might notice slight redness), but it will be doing its damage beneath the outer layer of your skin.

What does inflammation do to the skin?

It can accelerate the skin aging process, trigger acne breakouts, and so much more. By understanding the importance of sunscreen, you’ll be able to save your skin from feeling inflamed, which will keep it looking balanced and healthy.

Picking the Best Sunscreen For Your Skin

Now that you’re better acquainted with the importance of sunscreen, you’re probably wondering where to begin when it comes to upgrading that dusty old bottle of sunscreen sitting at the back of your skincare shelf.

Well, when it comes to picking a new sunscreen for everyday use, look for an SPF of at least 30. If you spend a particularly long time out in the sun each day, then you may want something slightly higher. 

Ideally, you also want a formula that feels lightweight and sheer on the skin. This way, it will absorb quickly and won’t leave your skin looking greasy or unnaturally white after application.

This is where the OROGOLD 24K Skin Tone SPF 30 really stands out. It melts into the skin quickly, leaving the complexion fresh and dewy rather than oily.

What makes this product extra special is how it’s infused with multiple antioxidants too. From vitamins A and E to green tea extract, this formula will not only protect your skin from the appearance of premature aging, but it will also help to repair the look of any aging-related damage that is already visible on your skin.

Since our sunscreen was designed to double up as a day moisturizer, it contains several hydrating ingredients too. Aloe vera leaf extract and glycerin both function as humectants. They bind moisture to the skin to plump up the complexion and keep it feeling soft and supple.

And, as with all OROGOLD products, this formula also contains gold. It’s an ingredient that adds radiance to the skin, so you can expect your face to be glowing after each application!

When and How Often to Use a Sunscreen

When should you be using a sunscreen? It’s pretty simple – all the time during the day! Unless you happen to be spending the entire day in a windowless basement, then sunscreen is a must. 

The time of year doesn’t matter either as the sun’s UV rays are present and dangerous year-round.  They can penetrate through glass and thick clouds too. This means that even when you’re driving around in your car on a dull and cloudy day, or daydreaming by your office window, the sun’s UV rays are still damaging your skin.

What makes things a little more complicated is that one application of sunscreen in the morning isn’t going to last you the entire day. The higher its SPF, the longer its effects will extend for. However, in general, you can expect to have to reapply your sunscreen every 2-3 hours.

This makes it worth having a few different jars of sunscreen in your life. Keep one at home on your dresser, one in your office, and perhaps also one in your car. This way, you’ll never be without your trusty SPF!

How to Properly Apply a Sunscreen

Applying sunscreen may seem like a no-brainer. Surely you just massage it into your skin in the same way you would a face moisturizer?

In some ways, yes. However, you need to pay close attention to how much product you apply each time. Most people end up using too little, meaning that their skin isn’t receiving the full level of SPF protection printed on the label. As a result, they end up experiencing sun damage even when they think that their skin is protected.

Ideally, when applying sunscreen to just your face and neck, use about half a teaspoon full. If you need to cover your entire body, then one ounce would be sufficient. That said, don’t be afraid to use more! When it comes to making the most of the importance of sunscreen, too much is definitely better than too little.

Once you’ve applied your sunscreen, try to give it 10-15 minutes to kick into action before you step out into the sun. If you expose your skin to the sun any sooner than this, then it will still be vulnerable to all of the damage that those UV rays can cause.

Other Ways to Protect Your Skin From the Sun’s UV Rays

If you want to protect your skin from UV rays as much as possible, then, in addition to understanding the importance of sunscreen, there are a few extra steps that you should be taking.

For starters, try to keep your skin physically covered as much as possible. Long clothing will provide an extra barrier between your skin and the sun. The thicker the fabric, the more effective it will be at shielding your skin. Wearing long but loose styles of clothing in light colors will help to ensure that you don’t end up feeling too hot.

You should also own a variety of sun-protecting accessories. Oversized sunglasses will help to keep your delicate eye area protected from UV rays. Meanwhile, a wide-brimmed hat will block the sun from your face. 

You could even take things a step further by carrying a parasol or umbrella with you on particularly sunny days. Studies show that a black handheld umbrella has the potential to block at least 90% of the sun’s UV rays! Carrying an umbrella around may seem cumbersome at first, but your skin will most definitely thank you for it.

There are also certain foods out there that can help to ramp up your body’s natural sun protection. These don’t come close to comparing to the importance of sunscreen itself, but they can help you to fortify your defenses a little more. Tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and spinach are particularly beneficial, as are berries and pomegranates.

Summary

When it comes down to it, there really is no denying the importance of sunscreen. Just this one single product can do so much for your complexion, while also helping to keep your risk of developing skin cancer to a minimum. Commit yourself to regularly using a sunscreen now and your future self will be extremely appreciative!

Trying to perfect your skincare routine? With so much differing advice out there, it can be difficult to know exactly what you need to do to achieve the flawless complexion that you’ve been dreaming of.

So, today, OROGOLD is here to clear up any confusion. We’re going to share all of the best tips and tricks to help you take your skincare routine to the next level. Whether you’re a skincare beginner or a seasoned pro, this skincare guide will help you to create an effective routine that’s capable of transforming your complexion.

Know How to Layer Your Skincare Products

If you want to get the most out of your skincare products, then you need to know how to layer them properly. Use your products in the wrong order and they’ll fail to work in the way that they should.

The very first step to any skincare routine should always be a cleanser. After all, if you don’t clear away all of the dirt and oil that’s sitting on the surface of your skin, then how will your other products be able to reach your skin cells?

Once you’re done cleansing, the general rule of thumb is to start with your lightest and thinnest product and then work your way up to the thickest. This usually means following your cleanser up with a toner, and then applying one or two serums. After this, seal everything in with a good moisturizer, and then finish off with a layer of sunscreen during the day.

Create Separate Routines for Day and Night

If you really want the perfect skincare routine, then just about every skincare guide out there will tell you how important it is to make sure that your routine is tailored to the time of day that you’re carrying it out.

This is because your skin’s needs change as the day progresses. During the day, it has to deal with so much environmental damage. From UV rays to pollution, your skin cells are well aware of all of the dangers out there. As a result, this is when they put up their defenses and work to keep themselves protected from external aggressors.

Once you fall asleep at night, things start to change. Your skin cells go into repair mode and deal with any damage that has been dealt over the course of the day. 

So, ideally, a daytime skincare routine should be packed with vitamins and antioxidants, which you’ll find in the OROGOLD 24K Nano Day Recovery. These will help to leave your skin cells feeling even more protected as they go about their day. 

Vitamins are important at night too. However, you should also be using richer ingredients that are more moisturizing, such as those in OROGOLD’s 24K Multi-Vitamin Night Nourishment + Retinol. These will give your skin cells the extra moisture that they need while they’re hard at work at night.

Weekly Multi-Masking Can Be a Gamechanger

The next tip in our skincare guide is to give multi-masking a try. This is a technique that involves using multiple face masks at the same time. It enables you to target a variety of skin concerns in one masking session, since each mask should only be applied to the parts of your face that actually need it.

The key to multi-masking like a pro is to use face masks that work well together. For example, the 24K Termica Energizing Mask and the 24K Deep Lift Stretching Mask are the perfect pair. The Termica mask will help to detoxify the feel of your skin. This makes it perfect for areas of your face that are feeling congested or greasy. Meanwhile, the 24K Deep Lift Stretching Mask will help to tighten and firm your complexion. So, apply this one to the parts of your face with visible fine lines and wrinkles.

Bring Your Facial Routine Down to Your Neck

Studies confirm that the skin on the neck is more prone to premature aging than the skin on the face. This is due to the fact that it’s pretty much always in motion. It also has to deal with a large amount of sun damage.

While that may be the case, the neck is often neglected when it comes to the average skincare routine. Neck care doesn’t have to be anything complicated – simply include your neck in your daily skincare routine, treating it to everything from your cleanser and toner to your serums and moisturizer.

However, if you’d like to go the extra mile to ensure that your neck looks smooth and taut for as long as possible, then our top tip would be to invest in dedicated neck care products. 

Our 24K Neck Duo Treatment is the perfect example. This duo contains an essence as well as a cream. Apply the vitamin-enriched essence first before following up with the rich moisturizing cream and your neck will look noticeably tighter and firmer in no time.

Keep an Eye on Ingredient Trends

Most beauty blogs out there will tell you to ignore ingredient trends. After all, trends come and go – most of them don’t have staying power. However, that’s where our skincare guide is different…

While we’re not advising that you hop onto the bandwagon of every skincare trend you hear about, there are plenty of trends out there that do have some merit. If a particular trend catches your eye, then it’s worth doing a little research into it to see what the science has to say.

Take cannabis, for example. The global CBD skincare market is growing at an exponential rate. While many may call this a trend, those in the know would disagree – skincare containing cannabis-derived compounds is here to stay. After all, these ingredients offer up so many benefits without any downsides, so what’s not to love?

If you would like to experience the wonders of cannabis-inspired skincare for yourself, check out OROGOLD’s Cannabis Golden Leaf Collection. All of these products are infused with hemp seed oil, which is loved for how it provides the skin with essential fatty acids and other moisturizing compounds. It’s loaded with antioxidants too, making it a superstar at addressing the visible signs of skin aging. It’s no surprise that so many people have fallen in love with this ingredient, which is why it is quickly becoming a skincare mainstay.

Choose Your Exfoliator Wisely

Every skincare guide will tell you that exfoliation is crucial if you want healthy-looking skin. However, what many fail to highlight is how important it is to choose the right exfoliator. Go with something that doesn’t work well with your skin and you could end up causing more harm than good.

Skincare newbies often start exfoliating with scrubs, a form of physical exfoliation. They’re simple, easy to use, and don’t usually contain many ingredients, making it easy to think that you can’t go wrong. However, many scrubs are far too harsh for the delicate skin on the face. They contain overly sharp and abrasive particles that cause micro-tears in the skin. This results in dryness and an increase in environmental damage.

Chemical exfoliants are known for being gentler. However, again, this is only if you choose the right one. Go with a highly concentrated acid-based solution and you could end up irritating your skin.

So, what’s the solution? It’s OROGOLD’s 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid. It brings together all of the benefits offered by both physical and chemical exfoliation, but without any of the potentially damaging side effects. Bamboo powder works to physically dislodge your dead skin cells while almond-derived mandelic acid provides a mild chemical exfoliation. Its large molecules aren’t able to penetrate too deeply into the skin, meaning that it’s not going to leave you with sensitivities.

Be Consistent With Your Routine

Consistency is so important when it comes to skincare. Sure, some products, like the 24K DMAE Wrinkle Tightening Solution, provide instant results after your very first use. However, most skincare products require regular use in order for them to work. 

This is down to a couple of different reasons. Firstly, many ingredients need to accumulate in your skin before they’re able to produce a noticeable effect. They need to gradually build up, and this will only happen if they’re being used daily.

Secondly, your skin goes through a unique cycle every month or so. The cells deep within your skin produce new skin cells that slowly work their way up to the surface. Once there, they mature, after which they die off and are shed. This makes way for the newer skin cells that are following on behind. 

If your skincare products only target the surface layer of your skin, then you’ll see results pretty quickly. However, if the formulas that you’re using are designed to delve deeper, then it’ll take a month or two of regular use before their targeted skin cells reach the surface of your skin to show off their improvements.

Make the Most of New Technology

Some people try to keep their skincare routines as simple and as minimal as possible, and there’s nothing wrong with that. However, technology has had an amazing impact on just about every industry, skincare included. Going high-tech with your skincare routine could be exactly what you need to achieve those advanced results that you’ve been hoping to see.

One of our favorite ways to bring technology into a skincare routine is with an LED skincare device. The Photonix-2 Jade Eye Wand, for example, will work alongside your favorite serums to enhance their effects. 

It will also enable you to target specific visible skin concerns with its choice of either blue or red LED lights. The red mode helps to reduce the appearance of aging, including the look of crow’s feet and other creases that are spidering their way around your eyes. Meanwhile, the blue mode will de-puff your complexion. It will leave your eye area looking bright and perky.

Struggling with a dull and lackluster complexion? It’s a common complaint, simply because there are so many different factors out there that can rob your skin of its natural radiance. From aging to stress to a poor diet, the path to achieving glowing skin once again usually requires time and commitment.

However, if you need a way to illuminate your complexion ASAP, OROGOLD can help with that. Read on as we share eight effective ways to get your skin’s glow back today.

1. Exfoliate

Dead skin cells building up on the surface of your skin can quickly cause your skin to lose its radiance. These cells have a dull and rough appearance. They’re not able to reflect light in the way that newer skin cells can, which leaves the face looking dreary and washed out.

The best way to remove these dead cells is by exfoliating your skin. Not only will this clear away any buildup on your skin’s surface, but it will also clean out any older cells that are blocking your pores.

When it comes to choosing a method of exfoliation, you have two main options, and both will leave you with glowing skin. 

The first is physical or manual exfoliation. This uses an abrasive substance or material to physically dislodge the dead skin buildup. Face scrubs are popular for this, but we would recommend trying our 24K Deep Facial Brush Set if you’re hoping for results as soon as possible. The soft bristles on this brush not only ensure a thorough exfoliation, but they’ll also help to energize and stimulate your complexion.

The second form of exfoliation is chemical, which involves the use of hydroxy acids. Our 24K Multi-Vitamin Deep Peeling + Mandelic Acid is the perfect example. This formula will dissolve the glue-like bonds that keep your dead skin cells attached to the surface of the skin. You’ll then be able to wash them away to reveal the glowing skin cells beneath!

2. Use a Face Mask That Hydrates and Brightens the Complexion

Another way to instantly add a glow to your face is by using a face mask. While just about every high-quality face mask formula will help to add radiance to your skin, those that have been formulated with ingredients proven to brighten the complexion will provide results that are even more impressive.

At OROGOLD, we have several face masks that have been designed for exactly that purpose, such as our 24K Advanced Facial Mask. This formula rejuvenates the complexion by pampering it with a powerful cocktail of vitamins and botanical extracts. The plant oils in this formula help to moisturize the skin, which leaves it looking soft and supple. Meanwhile, licorice root extract, seaweed extract, and ivy extract help to even out the complexion, resulting in glowing skin.

The 24K Termica Energizing Mask is another formula worth trying. It’s a thermal mask, meaning that it heats up as it’s applied to the skin. This enables it to deeply detoxify the complexion. It will remove any built-up impurities that have been detracting from your skin’s natural glow, restoring its youthful radiance.

Our 24K Deep Tissue Rejuvenation Mask deserves a mention too. Made from a golden hydrophilic gel, this mask is all about hydrating and soothing the complexion to give it a beautiful luminescence.

3. Give Your Skin a Massage

Poor circulation is another reason why the skin can sometimes look dull and weary. The best way to rectify this is through lifestyle changes, but one way to quickly ramp up your skin’s circulation is to give it a massage. This helps to get your blood flowing faster, which gives the skin a rosy glow.

Do an online search for facial massage techniques and you’ll find plenty of tutorials to talk you through the various steps involved. However, one way to make your facial massage feel even more indulgent is by adding in OROGOLD’s 24K HD Touch. 

This battery-powered face massager is designed to be used alongside a serum or a cream. Simply apply your chosen product, turn the massager on, and then use it to massage the product into your skin. Once you’re done, admire your glowing skin before wiping off any product residue from the massager and storing it safely.

4. Apply a Serum Designed to Plump Up the Appearance

The skin can often start to lose its glow as it grows older. Not only is this due to how cell turnover slows down, meaning that dead skin cells are more likely to build up on the surface of the skin, but it’s also down to the decline in firmness and fullness. Once your skin starts to look creased and hollow, it’s much harder for it to radiate a glow.

One way to immediately counter this is to use a serum that contains complexion-plumping ingredients. Find a good formula and you should see results immediately, although regular and consistent use would be advised if you’re hoping to maintain your newfound glowing skin in the long run too.

So, which serum can you turn to if you want to restore radiance to your complexion?

We’d recommend the 24K Rose Gold Age Glow Duo. It’s a two-step system that has been crafted specifically for a complexion that needs to be illuminated. You start by applying some of the 24K Rose Gold Multi-Vital Liquid Powder, which transforms into a liquid as it’s massaged into the skin. Then, you layer the 24K Rose Gold Enriching Serum over the top. Look in the mirror and you’ll be greeted with glowing skin!

If you’d prefer something a little simpler, our 24K Rejuvenating Skin Serum is also a superstar at reviving the complexion. Infused with vitamins A, C, and E, along with hemp seed oil, this serum will immediately plump up your appearance to leave your skin looking brighter and healthier.

5. Try an Overnight Mask

We’ve already discussed how face masks should definitely be a go-to if you’re hoping for glowing skin. We also shared a few different face masks for you to try. 

However, one type of mask that we haven’t yet talked about is overnight masks. Rather than being removed or washed away after 10-15 minutes, overnight masks are designed to remain on the skin for much longer. They’re ideal for people with dull, dry, and dehydrated skin as your skin will be exposed to the mask’s ingredients for a greater length of time.

One of our favorite leave-on masks is the 24K Rose Gold Hydro Mask. Formulated specifically for people with dull and tired skin, this mask contains a blend of rosehip seed extract, seaweed extract, and avocado oil. Together, these ingredients will hydrate, plump up, and replenish your complexion, leaving it with a gorgeous glow.

6. LED Light Therapy

LED light therapy can do wondrous things for the skin. Research shows that it improves the look of skin aging, boosts how supple and firm the skin feels, detoxifies the complexion, fades the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and shrinks the look of enlarged pores. As you can imagine, all of these benefits quickly result in glowing skin.

Just one LED light therapy session is enough to add energy and radiance to the complexion. However, what puts many people off is the fact that several sessions are needed in order to experience the full range of benefits mentioned above. The effects are accumulative, meaning that your skin needs to be exposed to those LED lights around twice a week, for about a month. Booking yourself in for a series of professional treatments can get pretty pricey, not to mention time-consuming.

That’s where the Photonix-2 Jade Eye Wand comes in. The skin around the eyes is particularly prone to dullness and the loss of radiance, but this device is a convenient and cost-effective way to get your glow back. 

It offers two LED wavelengths; red and blue. The red helps to reduce the visible signs of skin aging. This is also the mode to pick if you want to add radiance to your complexion. Meanwhile, the blue mode helps to soothe and de-puff the complexion, which also helps to illuminate the look of the skin.

7. Give Your Pores Some TLC

In order for your skin to glow, it needs to reflect as much light as possible. For this, the surface of your skin needs to be smooth. However, if your pores have been looking enlarged and very noticeable lately, then this could be why your skin has been lacking radiance.

Fortunately, the solution is simple. Minimize the look of your pores to restore a smooth appearance and light will be able to bounce off your face from every angle!

How can you do this? With OROGOLD’s 24K Purifying Toner. It contains cucumber fruit extract, which is known to make the pores look smaller and less visible. It’s also infused with aloe vera leaf juice to plump up the complexion, plus chamomile extract to keep your skin feeling calm and soothed.

For best results, make sure that you thoroughly cleanse your face before applying a toner. Our 24K Mousse Cleanser perfectly complements the toner that we’ve just featured. Just like the toner, it contains powerful botanical extracts to diminish the visibility of enlarged pores. It will also hydrate your skin while deeply cleaning it, ensuring that your skin feels balanced and refreshed after every use.

8. Get Moving

As mentioned earlier, a circulation boost is sometimes all you need to achieve the glowing skin that you’re seeking. And while a facial massage can help you with this, another way to get your blood pumping is to do some exercise.

Not only will a good workout benefit your circulation, but studies also point to how it can relieve stress. This is something else that can really detract from your natural glow. High stress levels interfere with how your skin cells function and can trigger a variety of different skin concerns. 

Finding an activity that not only gets your heart racing but also lowers your stress levels will leave you glowing in no time.

Achieve Glowing Skin With OROGOLD

If you’ve been battling with a dull and weary complexion for a while now, then the thought of rocking glowing skin once again can seem too good to be true. However, don’t be discouraged – follow the tips above and treat yourself to the glow-inducing formulas that we’ve featured and you’ll soon be looking more radiant than you could have ever imagined.
