Only a few of us are lucky enough to have glowing skin all days of our lives. The rest have to put in consistent effort day after day to get and maintain that glow. However, what do you do when you haven’t reached your target but need that shine for at least one special occasion? Your special day might be tomorrow and maybe it is too late to start working on a consistent glow right now. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are a few simple things you can do for instant refreshing skin.
- Ice
Some cold really does good for the skin. The chill gives a slight shock to the pores, causing them to open up. It leads to reddening of the skin which gives one a fresh, dewy complexion. It also revives the dead cells, working like a refresher for the skin. Before you apply makeup or before you sleep, rub ice cubes across your skin and allow them to melt.
- Turmeric, lemon juice and yoghurt
Even as individuals, these ingredients work wonderfully for the skin. Mixed, they form the solution to literally all of your skin issues. Take turmeric powder, squeeze in a few drops of lemon juice and mix a spoonful of yogurt. This is very effective for the skin and even better when there is daily usage of the same. Apply on your entire body regularly for better results.
- Coconut oil
Unless you have oily skin, there is no reason why you shouldn’t use this instant glow treatment. Coconut oil does for the skin what it does for the hair: it clears clogged pores, rinses away the dirt and leaves a fresh, soft skin. It works like a cleanser. Apply coconut oil all over your face, be careful if you have acne. Keep it for 10-15 minutes and then rinse off. Before makeup is the best time to do this.
- Face masks
Scrubs and creams take time to work. Face masks are those cosmetic products which give instant results. They hydrate your skin and nourish the cells. If you have to get ready for an occasion, start by applying face masks on your skin every day a week prior. Even if you do it just a day before or right before applying makeup, the results are beneficial.
- Milk
There is quite nothing like milk for the body. Take some low-fat milk and start by dipping your fingers in it and applying it on your face. Massage it gently, letting the skin absorb the liquid. Wash it after a few minutes and you’ll see that it has moisturized your skin, making it soft, supple and dewy. Keep it overnight for better results. Milk also helps in removing tan.
- Aloe Vera gel
Aloe Vera is a natural cure for many ailments and skin related problems. Rub a natural aloe vera plant gel over your face generously and leave it overnight or for a few hours. Wash it off. You’ll see that your skin has become more hydrated, softer and looks fresh, giving the glow you need. Doing this every day can work wonders for your skin.
