Achieve Brighter and Clearer Skin with These 5 Expert Tips

We often seek effective skincare tips online or by word of mouth, hoping they will magically unveil the best version of our skin. But, how often do these tips truly work or deliver what they promise? Very few, right?

This happens because the skincare tip or products used might not align with your unique skin type and needs, making them less effective or in some cases completely ineffective for you. Truth be told, achieving brighter, clearer, and radiant skin isn't just about skincare hacks or quick fixes that can give an overnight radiant or desired glow-up. Rather, it is about a combination of effective skincare practices and lifestyle habits that work together to bring out the most naturally beautiful version of your skin.

In this detailed skincare guide, we have curated a list of essential and most effective skin care tips that have helped many achieve healthy, radiant, and flawless-looking skin irrespective of their skin type. Stay with us till the end and unlock some amazing brighter and clearer skin care tips that actually work!

Tip 1: Cleanse Gently but Effectively

First things first, in a skincare routine, a face wash is a non-negotiable skincare essential. You basically cannot start your skincare routine without using a face wash. Our delicate skin tends to absorb dust particles present outdoors more easily than you can imagine, resulting in the accumulation of dirt, dead cells, and other impurities that affect the overall appearance of our skin. Using a gentle and potent face wash rich in vitamins like POND'S Bright Beauty VIT C+E+A Gel Face Wash helps gently cleanse your skin while nourishing and protecting its natural oils that keep your skin fresh, nourished, and healthy all day long.

In other words, this face wash doesn't strip away the natural oils or make your skin dry after use. Splash some water, take a small amount of this face wash in your palms, and rub it gently to create a good amount of lather. Massage the lather on your face for a minute and then rinse off. Avoid using harsh towels or cloth, rather use soft cloth to gently pat dry your skin.

Tip 2: Use Brightening Serums to Target Dark Spots

A face serum tends to work best on freshly cleansed skin. Hence, your next step should be to apply a potent and highly effective face serum. To achieve brighter and flawless skin, you should look for face serums that contain a high concentration of vitamins C, E, and A like POND'S Bright Beauty 12% VIT C+E+A Serum. With the goodness of these three vitamins in the form of a face serum, you get to renew and replenish your skin with reduced skin pigmentation and dark spots for brighter and clearer-looking skin.

After drying your skin, apply a few drops of this face serum on your skin and use your fingertips to spread it evenly. Massage the product well and let it settle on your skin for a few minutes.

Tip 3: Hydrate with the Right Moisturiser

Do you know your skin barrier tends to function at its full efficiency when it is well-moisturised? The benefits of using a moisturiser go beyond just increasing moisture levels in your skin. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, softens your skin, and helps prevent further water loss. A gel creme is a combination of a moisturising gel and cream that is light in weight, gets quickly absorbed, and is suitable for almost all Indian skin types.

Look for a vitamin-rich and highly effective gel creme like POND'S Bright Beauty 1% VIT C+E+A GEl Creme that works like magic in increasing moisture levels while protecting it from sun damage, reducing pigmentation, and renewing and replenishing your skin. Once the face serum is settled on your skin, take a small scoop of this gel creme and apply it evenly on your face and neck using your fingertips.

Tip 4: Protect Your Skin with SPF Daily

A daytime skincare routine works at its full efficiency when you incorporate broad-spectrum and non-greasy sunscreen in your routine. Not many people are aware of the fact that UV rays are always present outside, irrespective of the season or how cloudy the day looks. Harmful UV rays can penetrate easily through clouds and reach your skin, leading to various skin problems. Applying a broad-spectrum and high SPF sunscreen like POND'S Sun Miracle SPF 55 PA+++ Light Sunscreen with Niacinamide gives your skin the right protection and care that allows you to stay under the sun for long hours, absolutely guilt-free.

For the last step in your skincare routine, squeeze two strips of this sunscreen on your index and middle finger and apply it evenly on your face, including your neck. However, if you feel the application is not sufficient to protect your face and neck, don't hesitate to take more of the product. For better results, apply the sunscreen at least for 15-20 minutes before walking out in the sun.

Tip 5: Nourish from the Inside Out

One of the most underrated pieces of advice that most people don't talk about is how important your internal health is to make your skin look brighter, clearer, and more beautiful from within. A balanced diet, proper hydration, and sound sleep can actually do magic in making your skin appear fresh and radiant from within. For you to achieve bright, clear, and radiant skin, it is imperative to invest in food items that help enhance the effectiveness of your skincare routine.

Add more green vegetables, nuts, seeds, and fruits to your diet that support skin repair and renewal. If possible, get involved in workouts or morning walks that help you keep your body fit and support blood circulation.
