The Makeup-Free Trick to Glowy Skin, According to a Celebrity Aesthetician

Winter is coming, and we're not even going to make a Game of Thrones joke! With temps dropping across the country, your gorgeous, summer-soaked glowy skin is officially subject to all things fall and winter. Namely, dryness, dullness, more dryness, and well, more dullness. Luckily, if you're looking to add a sweet and subtle flush to your compromised complexion, we've got just the trick. And we're guessing you've never heard it before.

According to aesthetician Renée Rouleau, who pretty much gets asked everyday by clients how to get that coveted lit-from-within glow, all you really need to find your inner luminosity is three free minutes. Not a contouring kit. Not a highlighting palette. Not a strobing tutorial. And not a standing appointment with her. (That's how you know this tip is the real deal.)

"If your skin doesn't already have a natural pinkness, a long-term strategy is to hang your head upside down for three minutes per day," says Rouleau. "You can do this up against a wall—like I do at CrossFit or during a downward dog in yoga—or by simply hanging your head over the side of your bed." The result? A rosy flush sans blush and bronzer.

"You should notice that after three minutes, a slight redness will appear on the skin, and in the long run, it can make a big difference in getting and keeping an inner glow, to appear lit-from-within," she says.

Sounds simple, right? That's because it is. Throwing your head back (er, forward) will improve blood circulation to your face (something we've already waxed poetic about). If you're worried that this might be cause unnecessary stress, or make your capillaries break, don't be. "The redness subsides in a few seconds, but the glow stays for a while," says dermatologist Amy Wechsler. So that's a green light (or rather, a glowy pink one) to make use of that simple tweak to bring out your inner radiance.

So that's it: The easiest way to get glowy skin—we guarantee it.
