How to get a glowing complexion for date night or any night!

Webinar by Reviva Labs recorded February 16, 2022 - Everyone needs a skin care pick-me up from time to time. For date nights, big events, or simply to look and feel you best. LaShada gives you some quick tips to look your best – at night and every day.

It’s date night, and of course you want a vibrant, glowing complexion. So, for a quick fix, here’s a few quick tips.

Get your skin in shape and ready for your big night by exfoliating your skin. Why? Without regular exfoliation dead skin cells accumulate making your skin look dull and possibly flaky. Those dead skin cells also create a barrier that can prevent serums and moisturizers from absorbing and reduce their effectiveness.

Here’s a few types of exfoliating products that will get the job done:

Physical exfoliators use micro particles to gently scrub away dead skin cells. They can be used a couple times a week and if you’re in a hurry – in the shower as you’re getting ready for your big night.

Reviva’s Light Skin Peel Mild Exfoliant is a gentle physical exfoliator that uses a combination of crushed powdered almond meal, salicylic acid and a fruit enzyme to gently scrub away those pesky cells leaving the skin looking vibrant and healthy.

Another option is to use a product with alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) like lactic acid, glycolic acid, or ascorbic acid or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) like salicylic acid and fruit enzymes. These ingredients are considered chemical exfoliators. So instead of scrubbing away dead skin cells, they dissolve the “glue” that holds the dead cells together allowing them to slough away while stimulating cell turnover to reveal smoother, more radiant skin.

Reviva’s Fruit Enzyme Mask uses BHA enzymes from pumpkin, papaya, and pineapple to break the bonds of dead skin cells to gently restore your complexion’s luster.

For those with oiler skin, try our Bamboo Charcoal Pore Minimizing Mask – Bamboo charcoal detoxifies the skin, clears out pores and brightens the skin. As a bonus, this product has wonderful organic plant extracts and oils to smooth and soften the skin too.

Or if time is short, try using a cleanser and toner with glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is an AHA with a small molecule that quickly penetrates the barrier layer to improve the appearance of your skin’s texture in no time. And you can always layer on our 10% Glycolic Acid Crème if you wish too.

After exfoliation or masking it’s always a good idea to use a serum to soothe and rehydrate your skin. For hydration and brightening try our new Retinol Serum, our High Potency Vitamin C Serum or our ever-popular Hyaluronic Acid Serum. Each of these serums should be applied to clean skin so they can soak in and get to work quickly.

Our Retinol Serum encourages cell turnover to strengthen skin and reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles.

Our Vitamin C Serum helps repair environmental damage and promotes collagen synthesis. It also helps even and brighten skin tone.

Our Hyaluronic Acid Serum helps skin retain and rebuild moisture levels while improving the appearance of fine lines too.

Be sure to follow the application of the serum with your favorite moisturizer. And if you’re looking for a little extra eye improvement, try our Firming Eye Serum or Collagen Eye Pads, for a quick eye area pick-me-up.

Once you’re ready to put on your makeup for the night consider Reviva’s Makeup Primer. This product helps perfect skin by refining its texture. It fills in fine lines, conceals pores, and controls excess oil to help foundation and powder last longer.

And for an extra shimmer… mix a liquid illuminator into your moisturizer or foundation to create a sheer, even glow that looks more natural than a highlighter. It will boost your skin’s radiance and give you that lit from within look.
