Viral 'skin smoothie' promises to give you the best glow ever ready for summer

As the weather warms up we often turn to lighter make-up that allows our glowing, tanned skin to breathe. Summer is all about easy looks that can withstand the summer heat and maybe even help us tan.

With trends focusing more on flawless skin and minimal make-up, there are endless tips and tricks to achieve the perfect skin - often with a multiple step skincare routine.

That perfect glass skin look might seem hard to achieve without lots of products but one woman has shared her favourite way to make her skin shine without having to put any make-up on.

TikToker @itisamyk shared her "hack for glowy skin" with her 492k followers in a now viral video - and it only needs four products that you probably already have.

Amy said: "Let me put you on the best hack for glowy skin. If you have dull or dry skin, you need this, it's a little smoothie basically!"

She starts with Vaseline, saying the original big tub is the best option and adding "don't be stingy" as she puts a dollop in her hand.

Next Amy grabs a "good moisturiser or body lotion" and a "glowy product", pumping these into the mix. She finishes with some self tanner, which she says is optional, and mixes the products together on her hand.

Jokingly, Amy added: "We have crusty, dusty and musty over here, she's about to give glow. Look at that glow, look at the difference."

Commenters loved the instant boost that could be seen on Amy's hand, and one said: "Naw I'm adding this to my routine now."

Another added: "I am trying this rn and coming back."

Others were less convinced with many concerned about Vaseline clogging your pores, a commenter asked: "Is putting Vaseline on your face ok?"

One person said they use it and have no issue but many suggested skipping that step if using this regularly to avoid any breakouts.

If you're using the mixture on your face, make sure all products are face friendly and work for your skin type.

Skin that tends to be oily might not suit the skin smoothie, but you can adapt the smoothie to work for you so you still get that glow.

Don't forget in summer it is extra important to include SPF in any morning skincare routine so maybe swap out the Vaseline for an SPF to fight off those UV rays.
