What exactly do we mean when we talk about a glowing skin? I guess we can say its nothing more than extra-shiny skin. Imagine then if that extra-shiny skin is on your face, and the degree of attention it will draw to you. But beyond attraction, glowing skin is healthy skin, and we can achieve both. Let’s explore some of these face creams that can do exactly that: give you skin so shiny; it looks like glass!

D’OR24K 24K Gold Moisturizer

This face cream is the crème-de-la-crème of face creams. D’OR24K moisturizer comes with a peel scrub which can be used prior to applying the moisturizer. They both help with getting rid of toxins from the skin, as well as fighting off damage from the sun. The cream is formulated using gold foils and anti-aging properties. Applying this cream directly to your face helps brighten up the skin by circulating oxygen and blood flow. It also helps reduce tired appearance. If you’ve ever used D’OR24K like me, you can attest to how effective this face glower is. A bit on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it.

Goldie Lux 24K Gold Face Cream

The Goldie Lux face cream, just like D’OR, is a 24K gold-formulated facial moisturizer that guarantees glowing skin. The cream is infused with age-defying restorative peptides and botanicals, and the essential 24 karat colloidal gold. It has a 24-hour barrier boost that helps to protect the skin’s natural barrier. This sophisticated cream also helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, leading to a youthful looking skin. Plus, due to its deep absorbing nature, it will firm and tighten your skin, and improve its elasticity.

CLARINS Bright Plus Moisturizing Gel Cream

The Clarins Bright Plus Moisturizing face cream is made with the aid of Clarins’ natural brightening innovation, a composition of powerful synergy of botanical breakthrough science.

Its glow card includes intense hydration, dark spots reduction, and evens out complexion. This cream is best for people with oily and combination skin types. Due to its vitamin C derivative, its lightweight gel helps to mattify as it moisturizes, which helps to reduce dark spots and improve brightness, leaving your skin radiant and refreshed.

Olay Regenerist Hyaluronic

This fragrance-free face cream is a worthy contender on this list. Each 50 ml tube contains peptide 24 for supercharged hydration. The cream absorbs quickly and feels smooth on the skin, making it seamless to wear under makeup.

Use twice daily in the morning and night as your go-to moisturizer, to ensure that glow you desire. Plus, with every application, your skin will be instantly hydrated for up to 24 hours. After just a few weeks of use, you will notice the appearance of a visibly healthier, supple, and glowing skin.

KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Brightening Moisturizer

KORA Organics Turmeric Glow Moisturizer is an Allure Best of Beauty award winner. It’s gluten and cruelty-free, and vegan. This guaranteed glow cream is best for dry, normal, and combination skin types. It’s formulated using ultra-hydrating ingredients like turmeric, noni fruit, and licorice, acting as a perfect skin nourishment. Other major ingredients include desert date oil that helps with boosting moisture leading to a visibly plumper skin, while marine microalgae contain fatty acids and carotenoids that helps with the reduction of wrinkles, dull-looking skin, and hyperpigmentation.

Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Face Cream

The Aveeno Daily Moisturizing face cream is best for sensitive skin. The ingredients in this cream include glycerin, fatty acids, and oat flour. This cream is affordable, fragrance-free, and due to its water-light formula, soaks quickly on the skin, leaving the skin with a smooth-looking appearance. Many users attest to the fact that it leaves no residue behind and doesn’t cause irritation or redness on the skin.

Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream

Known for its intensive moisturizing effects, gentle formula, and non greasiness. It’s best for dry skin, due to its formulation of glycerin and botanical oils. Its major ingredient, hydrating squalane, is an anti-aging formula that has been proven to provide a strong skin hydration of 47% moisturization, which leaves the skin feeling plump and brighter.
