Feeling a bit dull and tired in the mirror lately? You’re not alone, dry skin can creep in fast, and it’s one of the early signs of ageing, even before your 30s. But the good news is, with a few consistent habits, you can bring back that natural glow.

Here’s how to get your skin looking fresh, radiant, and healthy, no complicated 10-step routines required.

1. Be Gentle With Your Skin

Your skin barrier works hard to protect you, so treat it with kindness, especially if it feels dry or sensitive.

✨ Try this:

• Take warm showers, not long hot baths
• Avoid harsh soaps or products with synthetic perfumes and colourants
• Use soap-free cleansers or gentle substitutes
• Wear natural fibres like cotton and silk
• Use non-bio washing detergents without dyes or fragrance

A simple cleanse-tone-moisturise routine can still go a long way when paired with gentler habits.

2. Nourish Your Skin from Within

You are what you eat, and your skin reflects it. A balanced diet with the right nutrients helps strengthen your skin barrier and support hydration, elasticity, and glow.

🥗 Key nutrients to focus on:

• Antioxidants: Brightly coloured fruit and veg help fight skin-damaging free radicals. You can also supplement with Everly’s Antioxidant Capsules, which include vitamins C and E plus selenium.
• Vitamin C: Found in citrus fruit, red peppers, and broccoli — helps protect skin from oxidative stress and sun exposure.
• Vitamin E: Found in seeds, nuts, and leafy greens — supports skin healing and moisture retention.
• Vitamin A: Found in spinach, mango, and tomatoes — essential for preventing flaky skin and supporting turnover.
• Omega-3s: Found in oily fish — helps moisturise from the inside out. Not a fish fan? Everly’s high-strength Omega-3 supplement can help fill the gap.

3. Cut Back on Toxins

If you’re serious about glowing skin, cutting back on smoking and excess alcohol is key.

🚭 Smoking reduces skin elasticity and slows healing
🍷 Alcohol dehydrates your skin and robs it of essential nutrients

Keep alcohol to 14 units or fewer per week (that’s roughly 6 glasses of wine or 7 pints). Hydration and detox go hand in hand when it comes to brighter skin.

4. Exfoliate Once a Week

Your skin naturally sheds dead cells every 28 days, but buildup can lead to dullness, dry patches, and breakouts. A gentle weekly exfoliation helps clear dead cells and brighten your complexion.

🧖‍♀️ Tips:

• Use a non-abrasive face exfoliator once a week
• Use a loofah or exfoliating mitt in the shower for your body
• Try dry brushing before you bathe to improve circulation and smooth texture

Don’t overdo it; exfoliating too often can damage your skin barrier.

5. Always Use Sun Protection

You may use SPF on holiday, but protecting your skin from UV rays daily is one of the most effective ways to prevent early ageing and sun damage.

☀️ Sun protection tips:

• Use SPF daily from April to October (yes, even when it’s cloudy)

• Consider year-round SPF if you’re outdoors often

• Aim for SPF30+ in summer, SPF15+ in cooler months

• Try a moisturiser with built-in SPF for a quicker routine

Your skin will thank you in the long run, fewer dark spots, less fine lines, and a stronger barrier.

Final Thoughts: Glow From the Inside Out

Glowing skin isn’t about a single product; it’s about daily care, nutrition, and a few smart lifestyle swaps.

Start small, stay consistent, and consider supplementing with Everly’s personalised vitamins to support hydration, repair, and radiance from within.
