Summer is over and so is summer beauty’s bronzed look. This season, it’s all about that “it girl” glow. Yup, ultimate hydration and sparkling dewy skin is in for the last months of 2023. Some call it the glazed effect and here’s why. When you got to a donut shop you can’t resist that shiny and yummy treat: the glazed donut. Same for our faces ladies. When you’ve got a super sheen of radiance on your face, people can’t help but stop, stare and want the look. Keep reading if you want to get on our high vibe of supple skin because here’s 5 of our favorite skin products to help you glow all day long.
1. Rhode: Glazing Milk
Hailey Bieber (our favorite it girl) is the QUEEN of the glazed skin trend. It’s probably because her skincare brand – Rhode – is known for making skin look irresistible. This LA based brand was founded in 2022 and is centered on Bieber’s belief in simple, affordable skincare. All of the products are vegan, cruelty free, and dermatologist tested. The skincare line contains just four products ( simple right?). First up, the brand new Glazing Milk to prep the skin. It’s essential for the glazed look effect, plus it reduces redness, shrinks pores for makeup, and it’s filled with yummy ingredients like ceramides, magnesium/zinc ( to boost the skin’s barrier and protect against free radicals), and beta-glucan ( to lock in moisture).
Pro-Tip: Use the Glazing Milk with the Peptide Glazing Fluid for an even dewier glazed donut look. We know because we’ve tried it.

2. Glossier: Future Dew Serum
If you’ve never heard of Glossier , get to know them now babes. The brand is known for its millennial pink aesthetic & super lightweight skin-like makeup. Let’s just say they are PROS at the clean girl, glow and glam look. The Future Dew Serum is a product we should be using right now. It’s an oil, serum hybrid meant to act as the last step in your routine for a finishing glow.It can be worn alone after sunscreen, mixed into foundation ( our best way to wear it), or at the high points of the face. It’s also really hydrating, so it’s great for any type of dry skin. Yup, even Mrs. Sofia Richie Grainge is a fan!

3. Saie Beauty: Glowy Super Gel
One of the most popular sustainable beauty brands right now is Saie Beauty. The line is clean on the inside and on the outside because of their eco-conscious packaging and recyclable glass bottles. Their skin tints, blushes, and highlighters are focused on lightweight skin mimicking makeup, but their Glowy Super Gel is one of their star products! It’s a lightweight, luminous gel that can be worn alone, mixed into foundation, or can be added on high points after the fact. It brightens with vitamin C, reduces inflammation with papaya seed oil, and hydrates with squalene (a hydration key). Plus, is perfect for sensitive skin.

4. Kosas: Glow I.V.
Kosas is another LA based brand that’s all about the no makeup, makeup look. Sheena Zapeh-Paly founded the brand in 2015 and used her biology background and passion for clean, lightweight makeup to develop Kosas. We love the Glow I.V. It is a vitamin-infused skin illuminating enhancer ( their words, not ours) which basically translates to a glowing light tinted serum. It’s packed with Vitamin D ( for hydration), Glutathione ( to brighten), and Algae extract to nourish the skin. We use it under foundation for some extra coverage and sparkle.

5. InnBeauty Project: Face Glaze
InnBeauty Project is a newer makeup and skincare line that’s entering the beauty scene in a big way. The founders – Alisa Metzger and Jen Shane – wanted to create a fun, sustainable, and affordable products to elevate any look. We love the super cool Face Glaze which is a highlighting gel cream. The gel texture helps create a buildable glow. Even better, it’s great for your skin with hydrating ingredients like vegan squalene and hyaluronic acid. This glaze has so many uses, but we kind of like wearing it on its own. We also love that its lightweight texture makes it perfect for oily skin too.
Pro-Tip:Mix it in with your eye cream for an even brighter under eye look.
