While I don’t think this hinges specifically on long-lasting makeup I do think it’s probably the biggest skincare non-negotiable for healthy skin so I totally get why Huda has popped it as the last step. Healthy skin equals easy makeup application. I’m currently loving the The Inkey List Polygutamic Acid Dewy Sunscreen. It’s a dreamy formula which leaves a really smooth base for makeup while obvs protecting you from the rays. A word on application…

So as someone that really messed up their skin barrier by regularly exfoliating with products that are way too harsh for my skin (honestly, trauma) I decided to reintroduce this step every other week. Yo Glow is genuinely a pretty gentle exfoliant for a physical scrub and I just concentrated where I get congestion so around my nose, chin and on my forehead. Step 3: Tone Cellulose: This gentle physical exfoliator is an organic plant compound that very gently removes dead skin cells that are ready to come off, leaving softer, smoother skin. It works by gathering up dead skin cells and dirt as it rubs across your skin and clumps together. AHAs & BHAs (AKA Alpha Hydroxy Acids & Beta Hydroxy Acids) help to exfoliate dead skin and even skin texture by breaking the bonds holding the dead skin cells together. Papaya & Pineapple Fruit Enzymes are known to smooth and improve skin clarity, break down dead skin cells and dirt to reduce their size. My loves, our Yo Detox formula is available with our retailers worldwide. However, in the Middle East, Canada, and South Korea, the formula is called Yo Glow Intense. Both Yo Detox and Yo Glow Intense have the exact same formula, but we have used a different name for these three regions due to regulatory stipulations. I cannot wait for you all to try this more intense, detoxifying formula!Anyway, as we tested it together, I just fell in love! I realized that I loved this more intense formula for a deeper clean when my skin really needed it, so we decided to develop it further so that this wouldn’t just be suitable for men, but for all skin types. I literally love to use this detoxifying scrub everywhere – I do vajacials with it, my underarms, chest, even my elbows and knees! It gives immediate brightness but also helps to improve and even skin tone over time. And honestly, it’s always the places you don’t think about that have so much dead skin! If someone held me hostage and said: “do a full glam makeup look or you’re not leaving this room!” unfortunately that room would now be my abode. I’m in awe of the full coverage looks that creators do on social and even more in awe when they can make it last in front of my eyes at events. I had initially put it down to sorcery, but Huda had other suggestions. Some essential oil content is usually also present in citrus fruit extracts, which means a nice scent and antibacterial properties, but also some questionable compounds such as fragrance allergenlimoneneor phototoxic compoundbergaptene. If the amount is big enough to worry about is questionable, probably not, however, the same question applies to all the nice beneficial compounds. It’s so important to layer your skincare products correctly to get the most out of their ingredients. In the morning I would recommend following the above steps with a Vitamin C serum to brighten and smooth the skin. Vitamin C is actually at its most effective in the morning because it helps neutralise free radicals caused by UV light and protects skin throughout the day. It’s also said to aid with wound healing!”

We included a very small percentage of fragrance to ensure that the products have a refreshing scent. We are aligned with the US Clean at Sephora guidelines of less that 1% fragrance. Our Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub was our first WISHFUL baby, and it’s completely transformed my skin and so many of yours! I’m so proud of the insane results it gives and so happy that it’s helped so many of you. If you haven’t tried it yet, it really is such a gentle but effective product that gives you those amazing results straight away – softer, smoother, brighter skin! It also works wonders over time to even skin tone, and help fade dark spots and post-pimple marks while keeping pores decongested. Depending on your skin type, you should exfoliate at least twice a week to help skin cell turn over. Our WISHFUL Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub gently buffs away dead skin cells and brightens the complexion. It evens skin tone and re-texturises and brightens the skin for the ultimate base for seamless makeup.”We have patch tested our formulas to be suitable for sensitive skin, but you know your skin best! We would always advise to patch test any product beforehand to make sure you don’t have any adverse reactions. First, let me start with what I like about it. The texture of the scrub will be familiar to you if you use a lot of Korean beauty products. It’s a gentle peeling exfoliator that balls up into your hand as you begin to rub it on your face. Some think this is dead skin and while there are for sure some cells, it’s really the product combined with the skin’s oils that pills up. Still, it feels nice and satisfying and not harsh like some physical exfoliants. But orange fruit is loaded with lots of other active compounds with a wide variety of possible effects. A well-knownoneis the antioxidant vitamin C, aka ascorbic acid, but the dosage will vary based on the extraction method, and it’s possible that some of the ascorbic acid content will degrade before extraction process even takes place. If you want vitamin C in your skincare, that is smart, but do not rely on orange fruit extract for it. Follow with your usual skin routine (like toner, essence, serum, and moisturizer), then put on sunglasses to protect your eyes from the exceptional glow your skin now radiates. I have always loved using pineapple in my DIYs because it contains bromelain enzymes. Enzymes are like the A-listers of the skincare world because they’re amazing for evening skin tone, smoothing and brightening, but they’re also gentle on the skin barrier. They work by breaking down the bonds that bind dead skin cells on the surface of the skin, allowing dead skin cells to be sloughed away. Pineapples are also rich in vitamin C that helps to brighten the skin.

Our Yo Glow Enzyme Scrub is infused with pineapple and papaya enzymes, BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) and AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids), and cellulose ( the most gentle physical exfoliator) that buffs away dead skin cells and brightens the complexion. The lightweight, milky scrub is amazing for evening skin tone, retexturizing and brightening the skin and, of course, giving you that glow!Just a year apart!! I can’t wait to share the product that has completely re-texturized my skin, helped with acne scars, reduced my pores and made my skin sooo smooth and soft! 💕 Brand reveal & pre-launch on 4th Feb Use a generous amount on clean, dry skin – it’s essential your skin is dry for the enzymes to work most effectively. Flavonoids( hesperidin, naringin, luteolin, and ferulic acid) are also nice active compounds with possible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and vasoprotective effects. Some of them (namely hesperidin and luteolin) might evenhave skin brightening activity by inhibiting tyrosinase, the famous enzyme needed for melanin production.
