Tips for Glowing Skin for Brides

Turmeric to Restore Your Natural Glow

One of the most basic and easily available condiments that can give your skin a radiant glow is turmeric. It isn’t just a magic ingredient for color in food, but also works as an effective beauty ingredient. While consuming turmeric is great for your overall health – including skin and health, using turmeric powder as a face pack too, promises great results for your skin. Skin issues like uneven skin tone, cracked feet, dull and damaged skin, scars, wounds and even burns can easily be treated using turmeric.

Take four tablespoons gram flour, mix one teaspoon turmeric powder and add just enough milk to make a thick paste. Apply this paste on your face and neck and keep it on for 10-15 minutes. Rinse with plain water. Repeat this 1-2 times a week for healthy, glowing skin.

Ubtan is the Most Trustworthy Home Remedy

Ubtan is a face pack commonly used all over India. The pack, made of lentils, rice, spices and other herbal ingredients is specially used as a beauty treatment for brides-to-be. Different parts of india use different recipes for ubtan depending on the ingredients available locally and the skin problems being targeted.

Essentially, ubtan is made with turmeric, gram flour, sandalwood, rose water and milk. This, in itself, is a super effective face pack for skin problems like dullness, tanning, signs of ageing etc. However, many people also add ingredients like neem, almonds, yoghurt, saffron and wheat flour. Mix all the dry ingredients together and mix just enough rose water to make a thick paste. Wash your face with a gentle cleaner and then apply this paste evenly all over your face and neck. Let the face pack dry completely before washing it off with normal water. Use this ubtan for face and even for your arms and legs at least once a week for desired results.

Cucumbers are a Super Food for Skin

Cucumbers are not just a super food for the body, they are a super nourishing ingredient for the skin as well. They are loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants. They help in rejuvenating and nourishing the skin. And because of the high water content, cucumbers are safe for sensitive skin, too. Cucumber packs are soothing for the skin and help reduce swelling and dullness.

Grate one small cucumber and add 2-3 tablespoons of yoghurt. Beat it well and make a paste. Apply it all over your face and neck and keep it on until it dries. Wash it off with normal water. Cucumber juice can also be used to dilute essential oils like tea tree oil and lavender oil to fight breakouts without drying out the skin.

Cod Liver oil Help Repair Damaged Skin Cells

Cod liver oil is rich in Omega-3 fatty acids which helps if fighting ace and acne scars.  It also has a high content of Vitamin A and D, which help in fighting inflammation by releasing antioxidants. Not just that, cod liver oil is also rich in EPA and DHA that help reduce inflammation and repair damaged skin. All these benefits and one really easy hack! You simply need cod liver oil capsules for this. Prick the capsules and take out all the oil that’s inside. Apply this all over your face and neck. Massage for a good minute or two and rinse with warm water. To get rid of the oiliness, you can use a mild cleanser. Use this once every day for a radiant glow.

Massage Your Face Regularly

One of the easiest and most effective tips for glowing skin is to massage your face regularly. Or indulge in some face yoga. Massaging your face improves the blood flow and stimulates it to the surface. Make sure you massage your face regularly in an upward motion. This will make sure that all the essential nutrients are being supplied all over face. This is an effective technique for healthy and radiant skin. You can also use facial tools like gua sha, jade roller or kansa wand for an effective massage. Use a cream of face oil for even better results.

Exfoliate Your Skin to get Rid of Dead Skin

This is an important step in your skincare routine. You must exfoliate your face regularly if you want healthy looking skin. Include this step in your skincare routine right after taking off your makeup and washing your face. You can use mild face scrubs or even use natural exfoliants like baking soda, coffee or finely ground almonds. If you don’t exfoliate your skin, the dead skin cells accumulate over time and clog your pores leading to dull, dirty skin. Exfoliate at least twice a week, avoiding sensitive or pimple prone areas. Follow it up with a gentle toner and a nourishing moisturizer for best results. This will help you remove the layer of dead skin cells, making way for new, and healthy cells. It also lightens the skin, and makes it soft and smooth.

Never Leave Your Makeup on for Long

This one is really a no brainer. Never forget to take your makeup off before hitting the bed. In fact, take your makeup off the minute you come back home. Leaving your makeup on for long will lead to clogged pores, which only means dirty, oily and dull skin in the long run. This will also cause random pimples and breakouts which no one wants! To avoid dull and lifesless looking skin, use an alcohol free makeup remover and follow it up with a gentle cleanser. You can choose from the many cream or oil based cleaners available in the markets these days. And don’t forget to moisturize your skin afterwards.
