Want a quick skin refresh without having to plunk down what seems like a mortgage payment? Us, too. While lasers and other in-office treatments are synonymous with glowing skin, not every complexion booster needs to leave your bank account in the red. In fact, there are plenty of powerful treatments and products out there that give great results in record time while being fiscally responsible. Sure, there’s a time and place to splurge, but there’s also an opportunity to save when you can. Take heed in these six easy ways to boost your skin’s glow factor, limit lines and wrinkles and get your complexion to look as good as it possibly can.
A little shimmer never hurt anyone, especially when
it illuminates the skin and gives it that “glow-from-within.” This one, which
is infused with pearl particles and rose quartz powder to enliven skin, can be
applied over makeup or throughout the day as needed—pretty much whenever your skin needs
a little pick-me-up.
Dark spots on the surface of the skin are not
only an instant ager; they can, in fact, actually make your skin comes across
as dirty, even it’s not. Slather on this peony root extract and vitamin C–rich brightening serum (it hydrates, too) to lighten up brown spots and unveil
prettier-looking skin.
Sometimes, the key to getting your skin to look
its absolute best is to feed it from the inside out. These supplements, which
need to be taken daily, work wonders on revving up collagen production, the natural
protein that makes skin plump and young.

A light chemical peel
One of the quickest ways—think 30 minutes or less—to
revitalize skin is with a chemical peel, which exfoliates away the outer most
layer of skin. No longer are professionally administered peels associated with
red, flaky, peeling skin (yes, those exist but talk to your dermatologist or
aesthetician about newer acids that produce downtime-free results). Rather,
they can do just as good of a job at renewing tired skin without all the unwanted
side effects—think brighter, smoother skin and nary a sign of dryness in sight.
Eye masks are having a major moment, and for good
reason, too. Simple to apply—there’s no mess and you can multitask and treat
other skin issues while sporting them around the house—this gold-foiled version
(pretty, we know!) works double time to reduce dark circles, brighten the
under-eye area and soften fine lines. You may just skip the concealer after
using them.
One of the best tricks to getting skin that looks
smooth to the touch and virtually flawless is by safely and gently removing
unwanted facial hair—the less hair on the face, the better the skin appears. This handy little face razor one not
only gets rid of peach fuzz, but also eliminates dead skin from the surface
in the act.
