GLAZED DONUT SKIN UNLOCKED
By: Julia Demma
The newest and yummiest trend - glazed donut everything - is one that we stand behind FULLY. Inspired by the classic clear icing donut; smooth, glistening, even-toned skin is a goal for most, but what needs to be done beneath the surface to achieve the secret icing’s recipe? The truth is, you can get the frosty gleam with certain makeup products, but like most skin-centric looks, it all starts with proper skin care.
CLEANSER
Your AM & PM routine should always start with a cleanser. Once to get the job done, and twice for great measure is recommended to create a clean base with unclogged pores.
Products we recommend:
Dry Skin: Pomegranate Cleanser by Skin Script
Combo/ Oily Skin: Orange You Jelly Cleanser By Sorella
Normal Skin: Face Reality Ultra Gentle Cleanser
SERUM
Serums… aka magic potions! If you’re going for the glazed donut look, we recommend a serum aimed at evening your skin tone and working to lighten dark, age, or sun spots in order to give you that desired look.
Products we recommend:

MOISTURIZER
If you’re going for a dewy look, we suggest using a medium-heavy moisturizer that can double as a makeup primer.
Products we recommend:
All skin types: Hydrating Moisturizer by Skin Script, Facial Nectar by Sorella
SPF
We think of SPF to be the setting spray of skincare. Don’t leave the house without it! The benefits are endless with SPF, and if you’re dedicated to protecting your skin from harmful UV damage for years to come, don’t skip this step!

Chemical Exfoliant 2-3 times per week
Gently exfoliating 2-3 times per week based on your skin’s needs is great for removing any flakes and dead skin cells in order to get the smoothest base possible.
