1. Exfoliate regularly
 

 

The prime cause of dull and dreary skin is the layer of dust, product build-up and dead skin cells on it. It makes your skin feel rough and complexion look uneven and dreary. Exfoliation helps shed this layer and clears out dirt, oil and clogged pores, giving you spotless glowing skin. Scrubbing regularly improves skin’s health with time and ensures a healthy glow too. You can pick a scrub for your skin type and exfoliate according to your skin’s requirement. If you have oily or combination skin, you need to exfoliate twice a week, if you have dry skin or sensitive or normal skin, once a week is recommended. We suggest you use any of our body scrubs from www.shoptheglowsa.com

2. Use face oil every night

Use face oil every night

 

While you are dozing off, your skin’s at work, healing and repairing itself. This is the best time to pamper your skin with right night time skin care products, so you wake up to fresh and glowing skin the next morning. Your night time skincare routine must involve a face oil or serum that hydrates your skin from within and lends a glow to your dull skin. You can use coconut oil or any essential oil and massaging your face with it using your fingertips in an upward circular motion. This helps brighten your skin complexion, improve elasticity and helps you attain a healthy glow on your skin. Check out the oils on www.shoptheglowsa.com

3. Vitamin C is the key

Vitamin C is the key

 

What if we told you that you could eat (or drink) your way to glowing skin? Yes, we are sure you know that fruits are the secret to glowing skin but did you know which fruit exactly? Fruit such as strawberries, orange, lemons, blackberries and any other fruit that is rich in Vitamin C is your best bet. They are full of antioxidants and citric acid which helps brighten your skin lightens blemishes, boosts collagen and adds instant sheen to your skin. This is the reason Vitamin C is being used in a number of skincare products. Include Vitamin C in your meal plans in the form of fruit juices like orange juice, strawberry smoothie bowls or lemon water to get radiant and younger looking skin.

4. Take short showers

Take short showers

 

A glowing skin secret that is often overlooked by most of us, your shower time can really help in achieving healthy, radiant skin! Being in the shower for too long, and that too a hot one, is sure relaxing and is a great idea to unwind after a tiring day but it isn’t doing any good to your skin. Long and steamy showers strip off the natural (protective) oils from the skin, making it dry and dull. Keep your shower time to a maximum of 10-12 minutes and take colder or lukewarm water rather than hot. Also, apply a face moisturiser while your skin is damp so that it locks in the moisture. This way, your skin doesn’t lose any moisture and is healthy and glowing when you step out of the shower.

5. Frozen milk cubes

Frozen milk cubes

 

While you freeze some popsicles in the freezer this summer, do yourself a favour and freeze some milk cubes too. Why do you ask? Milk and ice cubes are the perfect recipe for your dull and dreary skin. Ice cube cools down the skin and gives an instant glow, whereas lactic acid in milk helps reduce dullness and brings out the natural glow. Also, milk is a natural moisturiser that fights dryness, giving you healthy and bright skin. So ladies, fill your ice tray with raw milk. Once frozen, rub it on your face and neck gently. Leave the residue on for 20 minutes and rinse your face. Follow up with a moisturiser.

6. Green tea to the rescue

Green tea to the rescue

 

Green tea has many benefits when it comes to skin. Apart from getting you rid of ageing signs, acne and other skin issues, it is also a tried and tested method to get glowing skin. It has emerged as the new hero ingredient for your skin and is the secret to glowing skin of many celebrities. Rich in antioxidants and polyphenols, green tea detoxifies skin by drawing out skin impurities, bacteria and oil, and leaves it healthy and radiant. Regular intake of green tea or applying it on the face can add a subtle glow to your skin. All you need to do is brew green tea leaves and add honey and lemon and drink every day. You can also use a DIY green tea mask or just rub the used green tea bags for 15 minutes on your face for a healthy glow.

7. Honey and saffron

Honey and saffron

 

This is a glowing skin secret from the page of every grandma’s beauty Bible. Honey and saffron have been used since centuries for clear and glowing skin. While honey hydrates your skin and makes it soft and smooth, saffron brightens your complexion and gives you clear skin. Both ingredients when combined are a perfect concoction for radiant skin. To make this face mask, soak a pinch of saffron in one tablespoon of honey. Mix it and apply on your face. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and wash off. Repeat this thrice a week to get your natural glow back. Remember , this is only a hydrating mask. A purifying clay mask will help to detox congested skin.

8. Get a good night’s rest

Get a good night’s rest

 

You could try all the beauty tricks known to mankind and still end up with the same dull, lifeless skin, just because you are not getting enough sleep. Tired mind and body shows up on your skin and makes it appear rough and dull. Whereas, when you are well rested, you wake up fresh and glowing as your skin repairs and heals when you sleep. The increased blood flow and collagen production all take place while you are getting your beauty sleep. Taking a little extra time to snooze and stress less can actually help your skin big time. It can slow down the clock, maintain skin health and retain your natural glow.  


 

We hope that this has added some value to your beauty routine!
