Get the Red Carpet Look: 5 Steps to Glowing Skin

The Oscar hype is hitting this weekend and that means plenty of glitz, glamour and a procession of elegant celebrities in dazzling gowns, looking fresh-faced and beautiful.

So how is it that celebs always seem to score picture-perfect skin? According to legendary celebrity makeup artist Adrien Arpel, when it comes to red carpet-ready skin, "It's all about the products -- it's knowing what to use and how to use it -- that's what makes Hollywood glamour" (WebMD).

Here are a few simple skin care tips (and a selection of celeb-approved products) that will help give you the red carpet look.

 Step 1 - Exfoliate

Exfoliation is the secret to bringing out your skin’s inner luminosity. This step will help smooth away the dull surface layer of your skin to leave you with a beautiful glow and the perfect canvas for glamorous makeup.
