7 Effective Home Remedies for Glowing Skin

 

Whatever our age, whether male or female, we all want glowing skin. Good-looking skin is healthy, radiant,  luminous, and has an even tone. Some people are lucky to have naturally glowing skin due to genetics, but for many of us, glowing skin requires effort and dedication. It involves establishing a consistent skincare routine for your particular skin type.

 

You don’t have to resort to expensive skin products. Many people find great success in improving their skin’s glow through simple, natural home remedies. We’re going to look at seven effective options you can try for radiantly glowing skin.

1. Hydration:

Drinking plenty of water helps keep your skin hydrated, contributing to a healthy glow. Also, drinking the right amount of water ensures that the pH value of your skin is balanced, giving you healthy, radiant skin.

A healthy adult requires roughly two liters of water a day. With water intake, nothing is set in stone as fluid needs vary among individuals.    A good tip is to kick start your day with a glass of warm lemon water. It’s best to drink your lemon water on an empty stomach, as this aids in detoxification. Lemons are rich in vitamin C, which boosts collagen production, which brightens the skin.

2. Healthy diet:

Did you know that your diet holds the key to your health, your skin, and your youth. Consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats provides your body with essential vitamins and nutrients.

Our diets will be devoid of vital nutrients if we are eating highly refined, over-processed foods. You’ll have to cut out processed foods, fried foods,and pastries and nourish your body and skin with plenty of water, fresh fruit, and vegetables. This is what promotes skin health.

3. Cleaning the skin:

Make sure you cleanse every day.  Cleansing is a vital part of your skincare routine. True, many store bought cleansers are harsh and acidic, stripping the skin of its natural oils. Why battle with these when there are super, natural homemade cleansers that will give your skin an instant glow.

Honey is a fabulous cleanser, as it has antibacterial properties and provides the skin with nutrients and antioxidants that promote a healthy glow. Oatmeal is another gentle cleanser. It has saponins, which are natural cleansing agents. These agents remove dirt and oil from the skin without stripping it of its natural oils.

Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, it calms the skin, leaving it cool, calm,and glowing. You can use oatmeal mixed with water or milk as a gentle cleanser. After cleansing, always use a natural toner like rose water to balance your skin’s pH levels.

4. Facial masks:

There are so many options when it comes to mixing your very own face mask for glowing skin. What is cool is that most of the ingredients you need are possibly in your kitchen. Some skin therapists even recommend these budget friendly, effective face masks. Most of us love eating yogurt, and plain yogurt is excellent when you are trying to achieve brighter skin. It’s the high content of zinc and lactic acid that makes it such a healing facial mask.

Take a tablespoon of plain yogurt and add a teaspoon of honey to the yogurt. Apply it to your face and keep it on for 15 minutes. Rinse off with warm water. You can use one cup of yogurt and a few drops of fresh lemon juice for hyperpigmentation.

There are even some face masks that have a mix of ingredients such as yogurt, avocado, honey, and olive oil. This is because it contains antioxidants, vitamins, and antibacterial properties. Olive oil acts as an antioxidant, it contains the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and it has antibacterial properties. Add to that the fact that olive oil is a popular natural moisturizer.

5. Exfoliation:

Regularly exfoliating your skin helps remove dead skin cells. You buff away dead skin cells to reveal the new skin underneath. Exfoliating doesn’t have to be expensive, as you probably have natural skin exfoliators right inside your kitchen cupboards. Some of these products include sugar, baking soda, oatmeal, and sea salt.

Use a washcloth or sponge and massage the product  gently onto your skin to slough dead, dry skin cells away. You can even use your fingers to massage in small, circular motions, after which you can rinse off with lukewarm water.

6. Moisturizing:

Apply a moisturizer to hydrate your skin and lock in moisture. Applying a moisturizer helps keep your skin hydrated and supple, and it enhances your natural radiance. There’s no need to invest in expensive skincare products. Some even contain potentially harmful chemicals such as sulfates, synthetic fragrances,and formaldehyde-releasing preservatives, among others.

You can avoid these products and choose natural or organic skincare products, which often use plant-based ingredients.  Some natural oils, such as coconut oil or jojoba oil, can be used as moisturizers. The best way is to apply a small amount of virgin coconut oil to damp skin after showering.

7. Lifestyle factors:

There are several things that can prevent you from having glowing skin, such as fluctuations in hormone levels,  certain medications, and environmental factors such as pollution. These can all have a negative impact on the skin.

Some of these things can be changed, but it’s not always possible to control all these factors. Taking supplements as an example, is by no means a guarantee of youthful looking skin. Some of them, such as magnesium, vitamin C, vitamin E, and collagen, can certainly help improve certain aspects of hormonal imbalances and help towards having healthy skin.
