The Skin is
an important organ which protects our body from external influences like heat,
cold and moisture. It prevents the entry of micro-organisms into the body. Lack
of care and poor diet can make the skin unhealthy and malnourished. Sun
exposure, hormonal problems, stress and smoking can worsen the condition of
skin. Beautiful glowing skin is considered healthy. It is possible to get a
glowing skin with proper care and natural remedies.
Outlined below here are ways
to make your skin
glow naturally.
Take Vitamin Rich Diet: Take a healthy diet that contains
essential vitamins for nourishing the skin. Vitamin C (e.g. oranges and
tomatoes) helps in increasing strength and elasticity of skin. It helps in
healing the skin. Vitamin B (e.g. meat, liver and milk) prevents dryness and
oiliness of skin. Vitamin A (e.g. milk, egg yolk and vegetables) prevent
wrinkles and Vitamin D (from milk and egg yolk) prevents psoriasis. Eat foods
that contain these vitamins.
Drink Water:
Drink plenty of water. Lack of water
dehydrates the skin leading to many types of problems. Thus, you should
increase the intake of water. It will hydrate and moisturize the skin. This is
the secret of getting healthy glowing skin. Do not wait until you are thirsty
and craving for water before drinking. By this time you are already dehydrating
and damage is already being done. Keep a bottle of clean water nearby and sip
all day long.
Take Short Cold Baths: Taking long baths with hot water can
cause skin damage. It removes oil and moisture from the skin. Avoid doing this.
Take bath for a short time. Take showers for only ten minutes. Use cold or
normal tap water for bathing.
Use Milk: Milk can help in making the skin
healthy, beautiful and glowing. It is a wonder remedy for treating dark spots
and other skin problems. Apply milk on face before sleeping at night. Do gentle
face massage. Wash the face when you wake up next morning.
Exfoliate Gently: You can get glowing skin by
exfoliating. It removes dirt and dead cells from skin thus improving the
complexion and skin texture. Use a gentle scrub for exfoliating the skin. Avoid
using harsh products. Apply the scrub and rub the skin very gently.
Take Antioxidant Rich Diet: We can make the skin healthy by
eating foods that contain antioxidants. Antioxidants are nutrient that help in fighting
free radical damage. They protect the skin from the effects of sunlight and
smoking. Antioxidant rich diets prevent premature aging of skin.
Wash Hands: Touching the face with dirty hands
causes acne, breakouts, skin infection and other problems. Keep your hands clean
by washing them. Dust, dirt and other impurities deposit on our hands
throughout the day. Thus, it is important to wash hands.
Avoid Deodorant Soaps: Some people make the mistake of using
deodorant soaps, which is very harmful for the skin. These soaps cause skin
dryness. Don’t use deodorant soaps. Use soap like dove that has fat in it. Soaps
that contain fat are very good; they coat the skin with oil. Avoid using soaps
that have fragrance in it.
Use Apple Cider Vinegar: If the skin has become dark due to
sunlight exposure and acne, you can lighten the skin colour with apple cider
vinegar. Take little amount of vinegar and mix with lemon juice. Apply on dark
areas of the face. Do this before sleeping at night. Wash the face next
morning.
