9 Simple Ways to Achieve Glowing Skin

Admiring those glowing faces in beauty cream advertisements, do you wonder how you too can achieve radiant, glowing skin?  There are a lot of products like illuminators that can give us that dewy look but you can also get a gorgeous glow naturally with these simple exercises for glowing skin. And the good news is: no chemicals and no pricey beauty packages.

Daily Skin Care Regime

According to the wisdom of Ayurveda, true beauty is what naturally arises from simple acts of daily self-care. Cleanse, nourish and moisturise twice daily with products that are chemical-free, made from natural herbs and leave your skin fresh, rejuvenated and glowing. Use Ayurvedic face scrubs once a week and massage your face with an oil that is particularly suitable for your skin type. Splash water on your eyes at least 2-3 times a day. Give yourself a weekly body massage to cleanse the toxins away.

Breathe

Sit in a comfortable place and breathe in deep, making sure the muscles of your chest and neck are loose, allowing air to gather in them. When you breathe in deep, air gets accumulated in your chest and lungs helping you stay healthy. It is a wonderful way to help oxygenate your entire body through your circulatory system. It also helps beat stress and clear up your skin.

Massage

Massaging your face is a wonderful exercise for glowing skin. Just think about the ones you get during your facial session. Lightly coat your fingertips in Shanti Oil and use your index fingers to firm the skin around your eyes and forehead. In a circular motion, massage around your eyebrows in upward direction also using your index finger. You can perform this face exercise up to ten times a day if you would like and if you have time!

Exercise

Running or light cardio exercises are one of the best things you can do to get gorgeous, glowing skin. As you sweat, the tiny arteries in your skin will open up, which allows more blood to reach the skin’s surface and deliver nutrients that repair damage from the sun and environmental pollutants.  Remember to breathe through your nose while you’re exercising!

Drink

Lukewarm water with lemon and honey helps detoxify your system while keeping your skin clean and healthy.

Eat

Make sure you include lots of fresh fruits and vegetables rich in Vitamin C in your diet. Papaya can work wonders for your skin. You can either eat it or apply it on your face for a massage. Potato is also effective in reducing dark spots and scars, tan and sunburn. Try and avoid too much of fried or junk food and excessive spice or sweets.

Sleep

When your body is deeply rested, it automatically shows on the face. A minimum of eight hours of good sleep is ideal.

Smile

This is the best and the easiest make-up you can apply on your face. The more you smile, the more your face would naturally glow! Also, keep a positive attitude. How you look at yourself reflects on your face. Yoga practice can help you become positive about yourself and others around, and this positivity will make you glow!

Meditate

Meditate twice a day, every day. The more you do, the more you will radiate from within. Who needs makeup then! Meditation will be your natural make-up that lasts long and makes you look beautiful!  

Small, gradual adjustments in your daily life can make you happier, healthier, and ultimately have gorgeous, glowing skin.  Try these simple tips for the next month and keep a journal about your experiences. Ask yourself: “Is my skin clearer? My body healthier? My sense of inner wholeness expanding? Does my face truly glow?”
