What is dewy skin?
– Its the fine balance between a matt dry finish and a shiny, oily look.
– Its the look you get when your skin is healthy, well hydrated and radiant.
– The dewy look is in, and popularised by Korean stars.
How do we achieve the Korean dewy look? First, we need to establish that there is a natural look vs a make-up look.
A natural look involves a good skincare regime. Here is my simple, 3 step regime to dewy, glowing skin.

1) Gentle cleansing and Regular exfoliation – (Reason being, over cleansing irritates the skin, and leads to redness, stinging, burning, itch, and more sebum production)
– Regular exfoliation of dead skin cells with skincare to reveal brighter, younger skin. In my opinion, a good skincare for this purpose would involve Retin A.
More intensive measures to ensure an even more radiant you would include the following->
— Chemical exfoliation (Chemical peels, with glycolics being the firstline, Jessner’s, TCA)
— Physical exfoliation (Derm-abrasion, Lasers)
2) Effective moisturizing with an oil free, non comedogenic product. Finally, a good quality BB cream would do the trick and hold it all together.
3) Antioxidants to reduce the damage from the sun, induce skin lightening and anti ageing. Common products in the market include Vitamin C, White Radiance and Crystal Tomato. What you can do at home is to stock up on Green tea, blueberries and cranberries. Perfect for a morning pick-me-up, teabreak or supper!
Now whats the difference between BB and CC cream?
In my humble opinion, it is really a marketing strategy. Both are combination creams which serve as a moisturiser, foundation and sunscreen. The key here is finding one that is suitable for you skin. So always try before you buy.

Let me explain.
If you have for example the following issues…

Moving on, here is an example of a dewy look through the use of makeup. Opinion is divided on how to achieve this look. Some would say to apply an oil control serum on the t zone first, others would say mix the oil control serum with your BB cream and then apply the mixture, with your fingers, with light dabs. Even some have suggested using fine brushes when applying. Personally, I like to keep things simple. So here’s what I would suggest.
