Welcome to the ultimate guide for glowing, flawless skin! Ever dreamt of that radiant, head-turning glow? Well, you're in the right place! Get ready to uncover the "10 No's for Radiant Skin." From must-have skincare tips to simple lifestyle changes, these essential rules are your ticket to skin that truly shines. Say farewell to dullness and hello to luminosity as we reveal the skincare secrets to your most radiant self!

1. Never Go to Bed Without Washing Your Face!

Leaving dirt, dust, and pollutants on your face overnight is a recipe for dull, sluggish skin! Not washing off the day's grime prevents your skincare products from working their magic while you sleep. Think about the last time you gave your skin the love it deserves during your evening routine. You woke up feeling refreshed and glowing, right?

Remember, the only time our skin truly heals is when we rest, recharge, and pamper ourselves—so make sure you wash your face and let those nighttime potions work their wonders!

 

2. Never Skip Sunscreen!

Skipping sunscreen? Absolutely not! This lazy habit can leave you with red, blotchy, and burned skin, and that's not even the worst part—it's a surefire way to increase your risk of skin cancer. Make sunscreen your BFF!

Regular, daily use of a non-toxic, reef-safe, zinc-based sunscreen is your secret weapon against uneven skin tone, hyperpigmentation, and even skin cancers. Our personal fave? Epicuren's Defend and Balance Tinted SPF 50—it’s a game changer for both protection and a flawless finish!

 

3. Never Pick at Your Face!

This is a BIG no-no!! And we know that for many of us picking becomes a nervous tick or unconscious habit when we feel or see a pesky bump or zit. Picking at your skin can spread bacteria and instantly cause more pimples to accumulate and surface.

Picking can also create lasting scars and discoloration that can take months, even years, to heal!

Check out Jenette's products that help heal and prevent scarring:

• Be Calm Vit C
• Be Nourished Moisturizer
• Green Tea Soap
• Magic Matcha Masque
• Be Divine Toner

 

4. Never Leave Your Make-Up on at Night!

Again, not cleansing your face at night before going to bed can cause you a lot of grief when you see your face in the mirror the next morning. Especially if you've left makeup on it. Think raccoon eyes!  We always recommend a double cleanse every night, especially if you are wearing sunscreen or makeup.

The first cleanse is just about getting off surface dirt or makeup, while the second cleanse frees up your pores and prevents bacteria from spreading. Removing your makeup can be fun and easy with something like our Be Clean Detoxifying Elixir Oil or Jane Iredale's Facial Beauty Prep, coconut water infused with calming cucumber extracts.

With a thorough PM cleaning ritual, your skin will stay smooth, clear, and bright —always allowing your products to truly penetrate and heal any damage from the day while you sleep!

5. Don't Eat Too Many Processed Foods!

We've all heard it: "You are what you eat!" and trust me, it's more true than ever when it comes to your skin. Regularly indulging in junk food or relying on processed meals means you're missing out on the essential nutrients your skin craves to stay glowing and healthy. Not only that, but you risk throwing off your gut health, leading to IBS, constipation, and other uncomfortable issues.

And let’s not forget—many processed foods are loaded with nitrates, sugars, MSG, and other nasties that can contribute to serious health conditions like Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and obesity. Your skin deserves better—feed it what it truly needs!

Your gut and skin are besties—what affects one often affects the other! To keep cravings for junk food at bay, try swapping in herbal teas you love. Keep a mason jar filled and ready to grab in the fridge, so you can stay hydrated and nourished throughout the day. It’s a simple way to give your skin a little extra love without reaching for that tempting bag of Doritos! 

6. Do Not Smoke or Vape!

We all know smoking wreaks havoc on our lungs, but let’s talk about what it’s doing to our skin—yikes! How is this still a thing, especially with the rise of vaping? It’s a dangerous habit that's impacting younger generations, and we need to help them understand the risks. Vaping can actually be worse than smoking!

Both smoking and vaping dry out our skin, leaving it looking dull and depleted. Over time, your complexion becomes rough and uneven. Long-term smokers, in particular, often notice broken blood vessels and capillaries, which can appear as red or blue marks on the skin. It’s not just your lungs at risk—your skin is too!

 

7. Don't Lose Out on Sleep!

Getting around 8 hours of sleep each night is essential for radiant skin. Sure, some people function fine on 5 hours, while others thrive on 10—but what really matters is consistency. Going to bed and waking up at the same time every day helps your body get into a rhythm, allowing you to hit that deep, restorative sleep that does wonders for skin repair.

If you're not getting your full beauty rest, don’t worry! A 20-minute catnap can do wonders for your mood and your complexion. So, if you can’t get a full night of sleep, sneak in a quick snooze—your skin will thank you with a refreshed, radiant glow.

 

8. Don't Neglect Masques and Serums!

One of the easiest ways Jenette has personally preserved the health and well-being of her skin is through her weekly masking rituals. When she launched her skincare line over 12 years ago, she created a miracle mask, Just Add Sugar, which she cannot live without!! 

We encourage everyone to apply it 1x/week for 20 minutes for flawless, balanced skin. It is your mini facial in a jar.

 If you are not a masque person, it's time to become one!

To take the health and well-being of your skin to the next level, always apply a serum in the morning under your moisturizer and sunscreen. It’s an absolute must!

This will ensure added protection from pollution and toxins that you may come across throughout the day. I recommend one of my *Potions, which are 75% probiotic to truly protect and keep your skin cells alive all day!

And for your radiant skin PM ritual, always apply one to two serums under your heavy moisturizer. This will give you the best results while you sleep.

Our favorite go to serum is Be Calm Brightening C Serum which repairs all sun and environmental damage while you get your Zzzas. Your skin will stay smooth, bright, and balanced.

 

9. Never Skimp On Moisturizer!

It’s a no-brainer, right? Just like you hydrate more after a sweaty workout, your skin needs that extra moisture after you cleanse. If you're sweating, flying at high altitudes, or even enjoying a cocktail (yes, alcohol dehydrates!), you need to replenish both inside and out.

Whether it's from caffeine, desert heat, or just the daily grind, dehydration can leave your skin dry, dull, and craving hydration. That's why we love Be Divine Toner—it instantly cools, calms, and hydrates skin, delivering a gorgeous, healthy glow wherever we go.

Keep it with you, and moisturize like your skin depends on it—because it does!

 

10. Never Skip Your Water! 

Ouch! This one’s a biggie—when we don’t drink enough water, it shows up on our skin and in our energy levels. You feel it, too—depleted, tired, sluggish!

Proper hydration is key to flawless, radiant skin. When your body is hydrated, your skin gets the love it deserves. Here’s an easy rule: drink half your body weight in ounces every day. And if you're drinking caffeine, alcohol, sweating a lot, or at high altitudes? You need more water to keep things in check!

Want to know if your water is as clean as it should be? Check for heavy metals and other contaminants to ensure you’re getting the purest hydration possible. Your skin (and body) will thank you!
