Skin dullness and dryness is hard to avoid in the winter, but now that temps are warming up and spring is here, it's time to give your complexion the glow up it seriously deserves. Achieving hydrated, radiant skin is as easy as adding a few products to your Walmart cart. The retailer is stocked with exfoliating essences, brightening serums, and more spring beauty must-haves from your fave brands. Here, associate shopping editor Meg Uy shares her top picks to snag, plus her tips for building a glow-inducing skincare routine.

What products should you buy at Walmart for your glowiest skin this spring?

Swap out a harsh, moisture-stripping cleanser for a soothing, nourishing option–Meg loves Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil. Next up: a gentle exfoliator to slough away dead skin cells that could be making your complexion look dull. Her pick is the Skin Clarifying Soybean Exfoliating Essence from K-beauty brand Mixsoon which uses plant-based alpha-hydroxy-acids to smooth rough, flaking skin while delivering hydrating and brightening benefits. Finally, a vitamin C formula is a must for radiant skin and La Roche-Posay Vitamin C12 Oil Control Serum is Meg's recommendation.

How do you apply a vitamin C serum for best results?

Vitamin C helps protect skin from free-radical damage caused by environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution, so it's best to apply a serum with the ingredient in the morning before exposure to the elements. Use it after cleanser and before moisturizer and SPF. Vitamin C can oxidize and lose potency when exposed to heat, sunlight, and humidity. To ensure efficacy, store it in a cool, dry place like your refrigerator or a dark cabinet–your steamy bathroom is not the place.

How can you maintain your glow throughout the day?

We've all been there: You leave the house looking glowy AF and then you look in the mirror midday and that dewiness and radiance is nowhere to be seen. Keeping your skin hydrated is key to prolonging your glow, and Avène's Eau Thermale mist makes it easy to give your skin a moisture refresh on the go. It's made with natural spring water to relieve tightness, dryness, and irritation and can be applied directly over makeup.
