Nuances aside, from Korean beauty-inspired “glass skin” to “glazed skin” and the latest iteration, “butter skin,” these trends all share one thing in common: deeply hydrated, smooth skin with a luminous, fresh, dewy finish—an effortless, natural glow that stems from long-term skin health. Foundations and makeup can help us achieve this ideal look, but the true key to the dewy skin we all love lies in layering the right skincare products and combining effective active ingredients like vegetable glycerin, glycolic acid, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, and niacinamide. Whether your skin is sensitive, dry, oily, or combination, building a routine around hydration, brightness and barrier support is essential. Here’s our step-by-step guide to achieving dewy skin.

Prep your skin

If there’s one product you should never skip, it’s a gentle yet effective cleanser. Formulated with moisture-boosting vegetable glycerin and nourishing organic plant oils, the Tangerine Cleansing Balm melts away makeup, excess oil, and daily impurities while reinforcing the skin’s natural barrier and locking in moisture. With continued use, its evolving oil-to-milk formula helps smooth texture and boost radiance—creating the ideal canvas for the rest of your routine. To take your glow a step further, incorporate the Oliveta Face Scrub once a week. This dual-action exfoliator combines finely ground olive seeds for gentle physical exfoliation with glycolic acid for deeper, chemical resurfacing. The result? Renewed skin texture, refined pores, and a more even tone that reflects light beautifully.

Mist and hydrate

Since effective hydration is the key to dewy skin, a refreshing mist is more than just a feel-good step—it’s essential. A few spritzes of 100% Organic Botanical Water help to reawaken the skin after cleansing, prepping it to better absorb the products that follow. Rich in naturally soothing compounds, this mist balances and calms the skin while delivering a burst of lightweight hydration. Use it morning and night as part of your routine, anytime your skin craves a boost of freshness and glow, or even as a makeup fixer—it will lock in moisture and set your complexion with a long-lasting dewy finish. Alternatively, the bi-phase Summer Hydrating Mist will also work as a toner, restoring hydration while adding extra glow thanks to its content in beta-carotene. 

Supercharge your skin with vitamin C    

Bursting with antioxidants and skin-brightening actives, our Vitamin C Booster is a bestseller for a reason, as it not only targets melanin over-production and helps fade dark spots but also promotes long-lasting hydration, collagen production and elasticity. Formulated with 5% liposomal vitamin C for maximum absorption and efficacy, depigmenting phloretin and high and low weight moisture-enhancing vegan hyaluronic acid, this powerful booster works synergistically at a cellular level to brighten tone, smooth texture, and protect against environmental stressors. With consistent use every morning, your skin will feel hydrated, supple, and radiant— looking visibly healthier and reflecting light evenly for a glowing complexion.

Effective moisture for a fresh, long-lasting glow

Dewy skin is fully hydrated—and that means more than just a surface glow. It requires effective moisture that penetrates deep into the skin and stays all throughout the day. Formulated with that purpose in mind, the All-Day Moisturizer combines niacinamide, double weight vegan hyaluronic acid and an antioxidant oil complex of skin-repairing and soothing botanicals such as Prickly pear, Cottonseed and Jojoba. Niacinamide, a multitasking active ingredient with multiple benefits for all skin, has proven to refine pores, even out skin tone, and improve elasticity, while reinforcing the skin barrier and boosting the skin’s natural glow. Lightweight yet deeply nourishing, this bestselling moisturizer absorbs effortlessly, leaving your skin feeling soft, smooth, and visibly plump—with a juicy, dewy, light-reflecting finish that lasts from morning to night.

Seal in moisture for a dewy finish

The final step to achieving truly dewy skin is sealing in all that hydration with a nourishing face oil. Oils not only lock in moisture, but also add that last touch of luminosity that makes skin appear smooth, supple, and naturally dewy. Rich in essential fatty acids, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, Rosehip Oil improves texture and tone and helps boost radiance. Simply warm a few drops between your palms and press gently into the skin as the final step in your routine. For oily and combination skin types, opt for Jojoba Oil—a lightweight, non-comedogenic oil that closely mimics the skin’s natural sebum, helping to balance oil production and prevent breakouts.
