Tips To Keep Our Skin Glowing
To keep your skin glowing, there are a few things that should become a routine part of your life. These are getting seven to eight hours of non-stop sleep, drinking plenty of water and fruit and vegetable juices, and eating a well-balanced and healthy diet. Exercise regularly as exercise helps to get rid of the toxins in your body and helps open your pores, thereby allowing your skin to breathe easier.
Apart from this, try to avoid spending too much time in places that are air conditioned or have heaters. These two things have an amazing ability of damaging your skin without you realizing it.
Apart from this, moisturize your skin daily with a moisturizing lotion. Alternatively, take a banana, mash it, add one teaspoon of milk, and a few drops of honey to it. Mix it well, apply it on your skin, and wash it off after 15-20 minutes. This is a highly effective moisturizer for all seasons. Another, equally effective moisturizer is a mixture of honey with egg whites only. The added benefit of this mixture is that it stops wrinkles and fine lines from forming on your face and stops any kind of spots from appearing on your face either. Another thing that has dual benefits is cabbage juice. Apply this juice (without adding anything to it) to your skin, let it dry, and then wash it off with cold water. Apart from giving it a glow, it helps to tighten the skin and to prevent wrinkles. Take a medium sized tomato, extract its juice and mix it with one tablespoon of curd. Massage this gently on your skin and wash it off with cold water only after it has dried. You can also use papaya pulp in the same manner to make your skin glow. Scrub your face with a face scrub once a week. Prepare this face scrub at home by coarsely grinding almonds, and adding milk and honey to it. The almond granules will help to remove the dead skin cells off your face and the almond oil from the granules, milk, and honey will provide the necessary moisture to make the skin glow. Apply almond oil on your skin to improve its texture and at the same time add one teaspoon of almond oil to a glass of warm milk and have that every night before going to sleep. This will help to nourish your skin from within.
