The best highlighters for a sun-kissed look, plus a serum to brighten skin and clever ways to self-tan
There is an expectation that the sun automatically gives you glowy skin. That’s a fallacy of sorts. The sun might hide your dull skin (and without SPF will damage it), but it doesn’t get rid of it. So whether it is raining or blazing, if not tackled, the dull skin will remain. Ongoing exfoliation helps. In the short term, however, get a highlighter. Add to serums, foundations or to your cheekbones. It’s the quickest route to a deliciously subtle – but not glittery or iridescent – glow.
