How to Get Plump Skin Naturally
As skincare trends skew towards hydration, the pursuit of plump skin will continue to rise in 2024. While many turn to Botox and filler to give their skin that plump, bouncy effect that we can’t get enough of, there are other options for those who prefer the natural route. Let’s get into the techniques you can use to naturally plump your skin.
Exfoliation
Exfoliation can make or break the health of your skin. Exfoliation rids your skin of dead skin cells and excess oils, leaving behind a softer and more radiant complexion. Without regular exfoliation, breakouts and texture can occur.
Exfoliation also speeds up the skin cell renewal process, leading you to younger, plumper looking skin. Allowing dead skin cells to build up on the surface of your skin can leave your pores clogged, make it harder for products to absorb, and, of course, stand in the way of you achieving glass skin.
There are two types of exfoliation: physical and chemical. Physical exfoliation involves manually scrubbing away excess oils and dead skin cells, while chemical exfoliation loosens the bonds between cells and acids or enzymes, allowing them to slough off. Choosing the type of exfoliant comes down to your skin type and preferences.
Our favorite gentle physical exfoliant is made with one of the best natural ingredient for all skin types: Goat Milk. Hudson Valley Skin Care’s Goat-to Face Scrub features this vitamin-rich ingredient that not only naturally contains Lactic Acid, a chemical exfoliant and hydrator, Walnut and Apricot Shells to physically exfoliate and leave your skin feeling brand-new. This is the perfect exfoliant for those with sensitive skin.
Hydration
Hydration plays just as, if not a larger, role in achieving the plump skin of your dreams. When looking for hydrating products, search for humectants high on the ingredient list. Humectants are ingredients that pull moisture into your skin, and allow your skin to better retain moisture.
Some of our favorite humectants are Glycerin, Honey, Aloe Vera, and Lactic Acid. While you can purchase a separate hydrating serum to reap these hydrating benefits, many skincare products like face creams and masks already contain these skin-plumping ingredients.
Hudson Valley Skin Care’s Clarifying Clay Mask is formulated with powerful humectants like Glycerin and Honey to attract moisture to the skin while Bentonite Clay and French Green Clay clarify the pores. This is the perfect gentle mask to rid your skin of texture while leaving it bouncier than you left it.
Hudson Valley Skin Care’s Goat-to Face Cream is also an incredible hydrator. Made with Glycerin, Honey, Goat Milk, and Sunflower Seed Oil to give your skin the boost of moisture it needs to leave your skin looking plump and healthy.
Face Oils
Last but certainly not least on this list, facial oils are an underrated game-changer for glass skin. While face oils can be daunting for those with acne-prone or sensitive skin, finding the right one can elevate your skincare routine to a level you didn’t know possible.
When searching for your perfect face oil, look for non-comedogenic oils that are paired with a multitude of benefits. Hudson Valley Skin Care’s antioxidant-boosting Pure Perfection Face Oil is made with lightweight oils that mimic the natural oils already in our skin. Squalane, the vegan alternative to Squalene, is a skin-identical oil that sinks serious moisture into the skin without clogging pores or appearing greasy. Squalane works harmoniously with Sunflower Seed Oil and Vitamin E to give your skin the perfect glow, while delivering powerful vitamins and antioxidants to the epidermis.
Plump skin is more than possible to achieve naturally with the right skin care products. Remember to use the products that your skin type loves, and stay consistent with them. Just 3 simple steps in your skincare routine can take you from textured and dull to plump and hydrated.
