Having skin that
literally glows and glitters is a woman’s priority and innermost need; achieving it is not so easy but possible. Lots of teenage girls
and young women haunt drug stores and chemist stores looking for that “savior-cream”/
lotion, others pester their dermatologists to prescribe what THEY want for
THEM; still yet……NOTHING WORKS. On
top of that, their skin tends to get worse and look stressed out because of the
different products and chemicals they let it consume.
I can tell you it’s not your fault that you
just have to wear the tiniest amount of lip tint because of your chapped lips
or the simplest puff of blush on your cheek because of those blackheads and
open pores. GOSH! I know it’s so frustrating but what can you do? You’ve tried
so many different things and methods: professional advice, home treatments,
detoxification processes and yet…. NOTHING
STILL WORKS.
Just relax now,
because I have what you have been looking for….for a while. Because of you, I took
2 days to search throughout the web and personally picked out 5 most
effective home treatments for glowing skin. These home treatments will help
brighten your skin tone and give you the healthy glow you desire. As always, I
keep it simple. Let’s get glowy;
1st
Aloe Vera gel
“Aloe Vera is one of the best home remedies for healthy
skin and overall skin health”.
It has been
used since generations(literally from the ancient times) as one of the ancient
beauty products and secrets of our beautiful great grandmothers and African
beauties. It’s not a doubt that your mom or friend has mentioned aloe vera to
you anytime you ask about your solutions to your skin problems or need to have
glowing skin.
Apart from its wonderful health and total
fitness benefits, this plant has a vital role in the health of our skin. This is
because of its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Aloe Vera gel
hydrates the skin and rejuvenates it giving it the natural glow you want. It
can also act as a natural moisturizer because of its soothing properties. It
also prevents acne, eczema and clear spots.
You
can:
Slice a piece
of aloe Vera and apply the gel on your face as a moisturizer.
Apply aloe Vera gel and honey on your face to give
your skin a radiant glow.
·
You can plant aloe Vera in your garden or in a small bowl. The fresh
one is better than the packaged one you buy in commercial stores.
·
Be safe, be healthy, and be wise.
2nd
Coconut oil
“Coconut is rich and nutritious, but did you know its oil is much more
rich and nutritious”
Coconut oil has
a ton of beauty benefits that it has to be a
post on its own. Some of its benefits are due to its antibacterial
and antifungal properties. You know what that means……….It’s a teeny-tiny drippy,
slimy soldier that fights fungal and bacterial infections on our skin….FOR
US!!! It can also be used as a mild cleanser and a face moisturizer. Two in
one!!
It also has
soothing properties so it nourishes and hydrates the skin, leaving it as fresh
and shiny as a baby’s bosom!
You can:
Take a cotton pad and dab in a bowl or spoonful of
coconut oil. Use the pad to gently clean the face for 2 mins then dispose of
it.
Mix a tbsp of coconut oil and 2 tbsp of brown sugar as
your magic exfoliator. The mixture removes dead skin cells and gives your skin
a glow-y appearance.
·
Organic or distilled coconut oil? Which is better? You already know
my answer by now, stick with the organic. It’s healthier. You can also use the distilled
one if you want to but you’ll miss out on some of the nutrients the organic one
has.
·
Coconut oil is said to be good for sensi-skins so why don’t you try
it out?
3rd
Baking soda
YES!!!
I said it! I bet you didn’t know that powdery
stuff you put in your cupcake dough to make the result look as nice… as it
is….is really any good. Well, guess what, IT
IS!
Baking soda is
a shelf-dweller that has so more potential than we know and can see; it is not
only good for baking pastries and stuffs, it is also good for our health and
skin. The presence of anti-inflammatory properties makes it a mild, natural antiseptic
which makes it our second teeny-tiny fluffy, powdery soldier! It can be used as
an exfoliator because of its ability to prevent and remove accumulation of dead
skin cells, dirt and excess oil.
This in turn
makes the new, fresh and shiny skin come out and shine its light!
You can:
Mix a tbsp of baking soda with a tbsp of olive oil and
apply as a strengthening mask.
Mix baking soda with aloe Vera gel and use as an
exfoliator.
·
Baking soda and powder are not likely the same and not likely
different. Baking powder has low concentrates of antiseptic in it than baking
soda.
·
Baking soda isn’t a natural bleacher. It merely has mild antiseptic
in it. #
4th
Lemon juice
How many of you
guys have been told by the dozens of dermatologists and every YouTube videos
you’ve watched about natural bleaching and you have always gotten answered by
one thing-lemon? Does this citrus
fruit everyone yaks about really is as potent and effective like they say it
is? I’ve got two words for you?
Juice-it.
Yeah, you heard me, Juice-it!
Lemon juice, as
I know you have heard, is good for losing weight, boosting immune system and
also helps with the health of the skin. The citric acid present in lemon juice
has mild bleaching properties; because it of this it helps removes the dead
skin cells and rejuvenates your skin. It also helps to remove dark spots, clear
blemishes and fixes discolorations. Lemon juice is the right way to go when
aiming for glowing skin.
It also helps to fight acne, pimples and soothes
sensitive skin.
You can;
Take a cotton ball and dab in a spoonful of lemon
juice. Then, apply on your face and let it dry before you start your normal
skincare routine.
Use honey and lemon juice for bright skin.
·
Lemon juice tends to irritate and prick sensitive and oily skin when
applied. Make sure you dilute with water or a tablespoon of honey before
applying to your face.
5th
Carrot juice
Carrot has enormous uses and benefits in our lives today,
more than you could possibly know.
This vegetable
is rich in Vitamin A which helps to tone the skin and revitalizes the skin.
Carrot juice reduces inflammation and redness of the skin. It keeps the skin
hydrated when it is applied as a natural moisturizer. It helps even out the
skin tone and prevents wrinkles and fine lines. It also fights acne and fungal
diseases. This would make it our third teeny tiny juicy, carrot-y soldier!
It leaves the
skin looking shiny after applying it because of the presence of carotene. These being said make it one of the best
home remedies for glowing skin.
You can;
Have of body bath made of ½ part carrot juice, ¼ part
cucumber juice and ¼ part rose water with drops of lavender and rosemary
essential oils.
Spray carrot juice on your face and body before you
bathe, to act s a mild face and body cleanser.
·
Carrot oil or juice? Which is better? For the sake of my previous explanation,
I would go with the juice because it’s more `natural’ than the oil that has to be
boiled in a carrier oil to be obtained.
·
Drink a glass of carrot juice with a tbsp of honey everyday for a
month and watch your skin glow.
Conclusion
Thanks for reading.
I hope this post was helpful t you. I would like to say I’m sorry for the
failed weekend I had and how I let every single one of you down on the back-to-school
series. Something came up and I had to cancel it and postpone it till further
notice. I’m really sorry for not posting for this long. I actually found out
the government announced the schools in my state were to resume a week after
the normal day so my bro and I have had an extra week. I still have a couple of
days too. I am happy but many things have been going on lately and it’s just
been……..hectic but by the grace of God, everything’s alright. Anyways, I hope
this post helped you and you can pick out the remedy you think is best for you.
The ones I, myself consider the best are the ones that are rooted, you know, I
mean the ancient ones that your grannies used when their moms told them about
it when they were little girls. You can also mix them and make effective masks
that will give you glowing skin. I personally promise you that you will see positive,
visible changes and progress.
Thanks again
for stopping by.
Stay tuned and stay blessed.
