Afternoon beauty fix: Winter weather won’t stop your skin from having a dewy glow

I use a skin cream with Vitamin E to combat my dry skin’s dullness, but I’m not getting the shiny, dewy look I desire. What else do I need to do? There’s no need to cease your use of Vitamin E—it’s great for treating damage like scars, burns, and veins, and works as a defense strategy against future risks like skin cancer—but it’s more of a utilitarian skincare solution than a way to achieve a dewy complexion. Instead, catch the sunlight by blending millions of shimmering champagne pigments, like those in Benefit’s Watt’s Up highlighter ($34, at Shoppers Drug Mart, Murale and Sephora), over your moisturizer and beneath your foundation for a subtle, radiant glow.
