27 Ways to Make Your Skin Glow
STAY OUT OF HOT WATER
A steamy shower may feel great, but it's one of the worst things you can do for glowing skin. Not only does the heat strip the skin's beneficial natural oils, but it creates a mild burn. Blood vessels respond by dilating in an effort to cool the skin, causing flushing and ruddiness. "When you're in your twenties, you can take a hot shower, be red & swollen and recover in an hour, but in your thirties, it may take 2 hours," says Alexiades-Armenakas. "By your forties, your skin just doesn't have the ability to shrink back to its original state so you stay ruddy all the time."
