5 Illuminating Moisturizers to Add Another Layer to Your Glow Routine

We’re all about a glow and are firm believers that you can never have enough highlighter. Whether it’s a liquid formula or a powder illuminator, we can’t get enough. But if you appreciate a good glow, you also know that you can achieve it with a good skin-care routine. One type of product we consider a must-have is an illuminating moisturizer. 

Using a radiance-boosting moisturizer gives you a lit-from-within look and a natural dewiness — you might not even need to use a highlighter. Here, we’re sharing seven of our favorite moisturizers for a luminous finish.
