Small Changes, Big Glow-Up
You don’t need a 12-step skincare routine or an overflowing shelf of serums to achieve glowing, healthy skin. Sometimes, it’s the smallest changes that make the biggest difference. Whether you’re just starting your skincare journey or you're looking to upgrade your current routine, these easy, science-backed hacks can take your glow to the next level—without overwhelming your schedule or your wallet.
From improving how your products absorb to boosting your skin’s natural radiance, these tips are all about smarter, not harder. Think of it as fine-tuning what you already do—with noticeable results.
And because we’re all about results that actually show on your skin, we’ll be highlighting some of our favorite product picks from MyRemih.com throughout this guide. The right products can amplify your routine—and when paired with these clever hacks, the glow-up is practically guaranteed.
Hack #1: Double Cleansing – The Glow Starts with a Clean Canvas
Ever feel like your skin isn’t fully clean even after washing it? That’s where double cleansing comes in—and it’s a total game-changer. This two-step method clears away every layer of buildup your skin collects during the day, from sunscreen and makeup to pollution and excess oil. And yes, even if you don’t wear makeup daily, your skin still needs this kind of deep clean to breathe and absorb products properly.
Why It Works
Most cleansers can’t fully break down oil-based impurities like sunscreen and sebum. That’s why double cleansing starts with an oil-based cleanser to dissolve those layers, followed by a water-based or gentle foaming cleanser to lift away any remaining dirt or sweat. The result? Skin that’s truly clean, not stripped—ready to soak in every drop of your toner, serum, or moisturizer.
How to Do It
1. First Cleanse: Use an oil-based cleanser or cleansing balm. Massage into dry skin for about 30–60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.
2. Second Cleanse: Follow up with a gentle, hydrating cleanser to remove any leftover residue.
✨ Pro Tip:
Look for second cleansers that clean without over-drying. Harsh cleansers can throw off your skin’s moisture barrier, especially when used twice a day.
💧 Recommended:
Remih Nourishing Cleanser
This hydrating, non-stripping formula is the perfect second step in your double cleanse. It gently removes dirt without leaving your skin feeling tight or dry—just soft, clean, and refreshed.
Hack #2: Apply Products to Damp Skin for Maximum Absorption
One of the simplest yet most underrated skincare tricks? Applying your products while your skin is still slightly damp. It might sound like a small detail, but this one step can seriously level up your glow game. Damp skin acts like a sponge—ready to soak in hydration and active ingredients much faster and more effectively than dry skin. When you apply toners, serums, or moisturizers onto skin that’s just been cleansed and is still moist (not dripping wet!), it helps bind water to the skin, boosts absorption, and maximizes product performance.
This hack not only improves how your products work—it also helps you use less product overall, which is a win for your wallet.
Best Time to Apply
Right after your second cleanse or toner, while your face is still dewy:
- Toners: Help rehydrate and prep the skin.
- Serums: Let those actives really sink in.
- Moisturizers: Lock in everything underneath.
✨ Pro Tip:
Gently pat (don’t rub!) the product into your skin using your fingertips. This helps avoid irritation and improves penetration.
💧 Recommended Serums for That Damp-Skin Glow:
- Remih B3 Vitamin Serum – Niacinamide Spot Corrector & Brightener: Brightens, evens out skin tone, and helps reduce the appearance of dark spots.
- Remih Rosehip Anti-Aging Face Serum: A rich botanical blend that nourishes and hydrates while fighting signs of aging.
Hack #3: Refrigerate Your Eye Cream or Face Tools
Looking puffy in the morning? Cold therapy is your new best friend. Chilling your skincare—not just your coffee—is a genius move to wake up tired eyes and energize your complexion.
Easy Ways to Try It
Cold constricts blood vessels and reduces inflammation, making it especially effective for depuffing the under-eye area. Plus, the cooling sensation boosts circulation, giving your skin a fresh, healthy glow.
- Refrigerate your eye cream for an extra-soothing, anti-puff application.
- Use a chilled jade roller or stainless steel face roller to massage the face in upward strokes, especially around the eyes and cheeks.
- Store your tools in a mini skincare fridge or even a designated spot in your regular fridge for convenience.
Try this first thing in the morning, and thank us later.
Hack #4: Mix Facial Oil with Your Moisturizer for a Dewy Finish
For those craving that lit-from-within glow, this is a game-changer. Mixing a few drops of facial oil into your daily moisturizer gives your skin a dewy, plump finish that feels as good as it looks. Facial oils help lock in moisture, soften dry patches, and strengthen your skin barrier. When combined with your cream, they enhance hydration without the greasy feel—perfect for dry or combination skin types.
How to Use It
- After cleansing and serum, take a small amount of your moisturizer in your palm.
- Add 2–3 drops of oil, mix, and gently press into your skin (don’t rub!).
- For extra glow, pat a tiny bit of oil on your cheekbones as a final touch.
🌿 Recommended Glow-Booster:

Hack #5: Try the 60-Second Cleansing Rule
If you’re only washing your face for 10 seconds and calling it a day... it’s time to upgrade. Enter the 60-second cleansing rule—a deceptively simple hack that makes a major difference in how your skin looks and feels. This technique went viral for a reason: instead of rushing, you gently massage your cleanser into your skin for a full minute. It gives your cleanser enough time to break down makeup, oil, dirt, sunscreen, and leftover product buildup.
Why It Works
- Encourages thorough cleansing, especially around the nose, jawline, and hairline where buildup hides.
- Boosts circulation and encourages lymphatic drainage with the massaging motion.
- Leaves skin smoother and better prepped for serums and treatments.
Derms approve it, estheticians love it, and your skin will definitely thank you.
🧼 Try It With:
Remih Acne Cleansing Bar – Powered by activated charcoal, sulfur, and salicylic acid, this bar is perfect for oily and acne-prone skin. The 60-second rule gives the ingredients time to do their job—deep cleanse pores, reduce breakouts, and smooth texture.
Hack #6: SPF is a Daily Non-Negotiable—Even Indoors
Think SPF is only for sunny days at the beach? Think again. UV rays can penetrate windows, and blue light from your screens? Yep—research shows it contributes to skin damage and hyperpigmentation too.
Why It Matters
- Shields your skin from premature aging, sunspots, and even skin cancer.
- Helps maintain an even tone—especially if you're treating acne scars or dark spots.
- Protects all the hard work you're doing with your serums and exfoliants.
Easy Application Tip
Use a lightweight SPF every morning, even if you’re staying indoors. For reapplication, try a setting mist or powder SPF—no smudging your makeup, no excuses.
Hack #7: Exfoliate Smarter, Not Harder
Exfoliation is one of the fastest ways to boost radiance, but overdoing it? Total skincare sabotage.
What to Know
- 2–3x per week is the sweet spot for most skin types.
- Physical exfoliants (like scrubs) buff away dead skin manually.
- Chemical exfoliants (like AHAs) dissolve the glue holding dead cells in place, revealing a smoother, brighter layer underneath.
Choose What Works for Your Skin
- For sensitive or dry skin, go gentle with Remih AHA Exfoliating Gel—it’s non-abrasive and packed with fruit acids for glow without irritation.
- Prefer a physical option? Try Remih Turmeric Brightening Scrub—great for smoothing rough patches and brightening dull areas.
Bonus Hack: Layer Products from Thinnest to Thickest
If you’ve ever noticed your products pilling or not sinking in properly, it might be a layering issue. The order in which you apply your skincare makes a huge difference in how effective it is.
Why It Works
- Thinner products like toners and serums absorb faster and prep the skin.
- Thicker formulas like creams and oils seal in hydration and lock everything down.
Quick Layering Guide
1. Toner
2. Serum
3. Targeted Treatments (e.g., spot correctors)
4. Moisturizer
5. Facial Oil
6. SPF (always last in your morning routine)
Once you get this order down, your products will work smarter—not harder.
