Glazed donut skin is exactly the way it sounds which works by enhancing your skin glow. It involves moisturizing your skin to the core before you hit the bed so that you wake up with a face that is glistening but not greasy and radiating with a glow but not tight or shiny.

How is it possible to get donut skin?

Hydration and protection of your skin barrier is the key to attaining glazed donut skin. Ultra-hydrating ingredients such as squalene and glycerine leave skin soft, smooth, nourished, and glowy – just like a yummy crème donut.

Glazed donut skincare routine

Celebs swearing on the donut skin follow a tried and tested formula – begin with double-cleansing the skin followed by applying a serum to damp skin and lastly finishing up with hydrating moisture. Here are all of them:

1. Moisturiser

Use an occlusive moisturizer that helps you look like a glazed donut at the end of the day. Make use of face oil for extra glaze and luminosity if required.

2. Serum

One way to achieve glazing luminous skin is to use serums with antioxidants that boost collagen production and cell turnover to help skin glow from the inside out. Remember, consistency and quality of ingredients in serums are key to glazed skin.

Choose serums that include THD Ascorbate, which is gentler and simultaneously powerful than L-Ascorbic Acid. This is found in most other vitamin C serums.

3. Liquid highlighter

Of course, getting a glazed donut look is more than just skincare alone. A liquid highlighter placed strategically on the high points of the face, collarbones or cheeks can add the needed dewiness and a donut-y glaze to your face.

4. Minimal makeup

Additionally, lightweight, breathable makeup can also work to enhance your look, especially dewy formulas containing glazed donut standards like hyaluronic acid or glycerine. Glazed skin-approved foundations work by providing light coverage and evening-out pigmentation. Though, in the end, healthy skin remains the star of the show-stealing the limelight.

Tip: Before you go glazing yourself up, a piece of advice for skin breakouts—using a thick moisturizer can make breakouts worse, so opt for a lighter alternative. Also, make sure to apply some spot patches at the end of your skincare routine, they help heal a pimple way faster.
