How do people get glowing skin?

Hello, I was just wondering I see some people throughout the internet and sometimes even in person and their skin seems to just glow. I personally have pretty clear skin but I dont know how to get it to glow like what I see if anyone knows how please tell.

Pretty much a healthy skin barrier, a good diet, using a good moisturizer and hear me out.. topical antioxidants like vitamin C.

Well, are you sure...? Let's first breakdown what "glowing skin" is in the first place. I suppose this is an example of "glowing" skin, all it is just light reflecting off the surface of the skin, that will only occur if your skin is properly hydrated and the skin barrier is not compromised.

Alternatively, if your diet is really on point, your products are perfectly tailored to your skin, your skin is moisturized and your barrier is happy, then maybe you're not that guy. We all have different skins, some people are genetic unicorns born with microsized pores and glowing skin without doing anything, other people are the total opposite. For Koreans and South Asians it's much easier to achieve such skin than for example African people, we can get close, but never quite there, so if your objective is skincare-ad worthy "glowing" skin, then it might simply be your genetics limiting you here.

But again, genetics aside, the fundamental factor for glowing skin is just to get light bouncing off your skin, achieved through good moisture in your skin.

Interesting this is what I look like my ethnicity is Hispanic so are genetics holding me back from glowing skin?
