4 STEPS TO GET HEALTHYAND GLOWING SKIN
1
WASH YOUR SKIN WITH WATER
How often do you wash your skin?
Ideally you should have a wash in the morning and evening, or when your skin is dirty.
Washing your skin is the first step to getting a clean and healthy skin. Cleanliness is necessary for having good health.
If you don’t wash your skin often, you will develop skin irritations, and dermatosis which makes the skin unhealthy, and problematic for you. This can be avoided if you wash your skin daily with water, a mild soap or natural cleanser, a wash cloth, or sponge, or loofah to remove dirt, and keep your skin clean and fresh.
Helpful tips-
- To get a smooth and clear face, wash your face gently with warm to cold water, not with hot water.
- Avoid washing your skin with water that is too hot, or too cold, so you do not burn, scar, and discolourise your skin.

FOR A HEALTHY GLOWING SKIN USE BODY SCRUB REGULARLY
Body scrub is very good for the skin, because it exfoliates rough and dry patches, to make skin smooth, soft, and unified.
If you would like a smooth and soft skin, then use body scrub regularly, and you will notice, from the first use, an immediate improvement.
The use of body scrubs, regardless of your skin type, is a sure means for achieving firm, smooth, healthy and glowing skin.
Useful tip-
- Make your own body scrub at home
- For a simple scrub:
-Use a simple mixture of natural brown or white sugar, and freshly squeezed organic lemon juice. -If you have oily skin, add salt to the mixture.
-Pour 1 cup of sugar (or half a cup of sugar, and half a cup of salt) in a medium sized container, mix the juices of 1 lemon.
-Mix well.
-Let it sit for more then 30mins before use.

MOISTURISE YOR SKIN DAILY TO GET AND GLOWING HEALTHY SKIN
Natural moisturisers helps the skin stay supple and hydrated.
The purpose of moisturiser is to provide moisture for the skin from the outside. Moisturisers are especially useful during dry whether, and for dry skin.
However, when deciding on a moisturiser, choose a moisturiser that is natural.
Because our skin is made of natural components, it’s healthy and preferrable to use natural products on our skin. Moisturisers that are made with synthetic products will potentially cause damage to your skin, and health. But a good moisturisers helps the skin to prevent dryness, roughness, unevenness, acne, dermatosis, and oiliness.
If you want healthy skin, you shouldn’t skip the process of moisturising daily. You can use any of the different types of moisturisers, such as oils, lotions, gels or balms.
If you are someone with dry skin, and you don’t use moisturiser, you should start moisturising from now. Because, healthy moisturisers adds moisture, and elasticity to skin texture and gives skin a healthy appearance.
Helpful tip-
- Use moisturisers with natural ingredients. And avoid moisturisers made with synthetic, and potentially dangerous ingredients.

A HEALTHY DIET
Your diet is a combination of everything you consume daily. A healthy diet is about eating healthy natural food.
What you eat shows on your face, and on your skin. If you eat well it will show on your skin that you’re healthy, if you eat poorly, your skin will look rough, dry, and unhealthy.
Your skin is a reflection of the food you eat, and of your daily habits.
Expensive lotions and potions might make your face smooth and clear, but they only act as a mask to cover up unhealthy eating habits, and may contain addictive ingredients that are causing harm to your health. So the most natural and healthiest means to get healthy skin is to eat healthy food, and avoid unhealthy food and drinks.
When you eat a healthy diet consistently, your skin will effortlessly look healthy, but if your diet is lacking nutrients, your skin will look unhealthy and malnourished.
A healthy diet should be the norm for everyone.
What you consume affects all areas of your life, including your strength, your mood, and your skin which is a signalling reflection of the state of your gut, and showing you what is good and bad for your health.
So by choosing to consume only food that is natural and good for your health will improve the appearance of your skin, and your overall health.
If you are not used to eating healthy nutritious food, you can make a conscious effort now to start eating natural organic food. And avoid bad, fake food, for the purpose of your wellbeing and for good health.
Helpful tips –
- Read the ingredients in the labels of food, and drinks before you buy, and consume. And avoid products with ingredients that are not natural, or that are potentially harmful.
- Drink water instead of beverages, alcoholic drinks, coffee, tea, and other processed drinks.

4 STEPS TO GET HEALTHY AND GLOWING SKIN
I will add a few points to conclude the post:
- Wear comfortable, natural fabric. Synthetic fabric tends to suffocate, and wears out the skin. Although synthetic fabrics are less expensive than natural fabrics, but they aren’t worth it, as they cause skin irritation. So it’s better to wear natural fabrics for a healthy skin. They are comfortable and breathable.
- Avoid smoking.
- Don’t stay too long uncovered under the sun.
- Avoid chlorinated water, and harsh chemicals on your skin.
- Avoid alcoholic drinks and food.
If you follow the four steps for healthy and glowing skin thoroughly, you will notice a huge improvement to your skin, and overall health.
So keep in mind that healthy skin is a reflection of a good diet, as bad skin is a reflection of an unhealthy diet. Choose to eat well. And also make the effort to wash your skin daily, scrub regularly, and use a natural moisturiser.
