Achieving dewy, glowing skin without a trace of makeup is not only possible but easier than you might think. It all starts with the right skincare routine. Dewy skin is a sign of healthy, hydrated skin, and with the right products and ingredients, you can achieve that fresh, radiant look naturally. Here’s how to make it happen.
What Ingredients Make Your Skin Dewy?
The foundation of dewy skin lies in hydration and skin health. These are the key ingredients to look for in your hydrating skincare products:
-
Hyaluronic Acid: A hydration hero, it attracts water to your skin, keeping it plump and dewy all day long. Products like the JLo Beauty Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer deliver continuous hydration and that coveted pillowy softness.
-
Niacinamide: This multitasker brightens skin, minimizes pores, and balances oil production, making it ideal for all skin types.
-
Glycerin: A humectant that draws moisture into the skin, glycerin ensures your complexion stays hydrated and glowing.
-
Squalane: This lightweight oil is non-comedogenic, meaning it hydrates without clogging pores, perfect for dry or acne-prone skin.
-
AHAs and BHAs: These exfoliants, found in the JLo Beauty AHA + BHA Exfoliating Cream, help remove dull, dead skin cells, revealing fresh, glowing skin underneath.
How Do I Make My Skin More Dewy?
To achieve dewy skin, your skincare routine should focus on hydration, exfoliation, and protection. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Start with a Gentle Cleanser
A clean base is crucial for dewy skin. Choose a hydrating cleanser that removes impurities without stripping your skin. Ingredients like glycerin or aloe vera are excellent choices.
2. Hydrate with a Toner or Mist
Hydrating toners and facial mists prepare your skin to absorb moisture. Adding a toner to your routine can help your skin absorb and retain moisture. Use it throughout the day for an instant hydration boost.
3. Incorporate a Hydrating Serum
A serum is a must-have for dewy skin. Look for products packed with hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture. The JLo Beauty Brightening Serum is clinically shown to moisturize and leave your skin glowing.
4. Exfoliate Regularly
Exfoliation removes dead skin cells that dull your complexion. Use a chemical exfoliant like AHAs or BHAs two to three times a week. The AHA + BHA Exfoliating Cream smooths skin texture and enhances radiance while also hydrating with hyaluronic acid.
5. Seal It in with the Right Moisturizer
A moisturizer locks in hydration and gives your skin a luminous finish. The Hyaluronic Acid Moisturizer offers water-binding properties for continuous hydration, while the SPF 30 Moisturizer protects your glow with a dewy finish.
6. Add a Weekly Sheet Mask
A sheet mask can give your skin an instant hydration boost. The JLo Beauty Hydrating Sheet Mask is infused with JLo Beauty Olive Complex™, providing all-day moisturization. Use it one to two times a week or before special occasions for a radiant glow.
7. Finish with a Dewy Complexion Booster
As a final step, enhance your natural glow with an illuminating product. Mix the That Star Filter with your moisturizer for a subtle, lit-from-within radiance.
Dewy Skin Tips for Different Skin Types
Dewy skin is achievable for every skin type when you use products tailored to your unique needs.

Stick to lightweight, oil-free, or gel-based moisturizers to avoid clogging pores.

Incorporate a hydrating serum with niacinamide to control oil and balance hydration.

Exfoliate regularly with BHAs to keep pores clear and prevent breakouts.
For Dry Skin
-
Use rich, hydrating creams and serums to replenish moisture.

Layer your skincare by applying a hydrating serum first, followed by a cream or oil to seal it in.
-
Avoid harsh cleansers that strip moisture and opt for nourishing ingredients like squalane.

Target oily areas with mattifying treatments and dry areas with hydrating products.

Polish Your Routine with These Tips for Dewy, Makeup-Free Skin
-
Layer Your Skincare Properly: Apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency to maximize absorption and hydration.
-
Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water is key to glowing skin from the inside out.
-
Protect with Sunscreen: Always finish your routine with SPF to shield your skin from UV damage while keeping it dewy.
-
Avoid Overloading: Less is more—don’t overwhelm your skin with too many products at once. This can have adverse effects like skin irritations or looking oily.
-
Optimize Your Diet: Incorporate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and vitamins (like C and E) to support skin health from within.
-
Get Enough Sleep: Rest is essential for skin regeneration, giving you that natural, rested glow. Aim for 7–9 hours of quality sleep each night.
-
Use a Humidifier: Keeping the air around you moist prevents your skin from drying out, especially in colder or air-conditioned environments.
