A good skin care regime is vital to have healthy skin that glows and is not marred with unsightly spots and patches. In order to have skin that has a natural glow you should first and foremost have a healthy lifestyle, starting with a well balanced diet which supplies all the essential nutrients to your body. You should ensure that your diet is rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, fish, poultry and meat and whole grain cereals. It is important to cleanse your system daily by consuming the right amount of fiber to stimulate daily bowel movements and also by drinking the recommended amount of water and fresh fruit juices which not only flush out the toxins from the system, but also keep your skin naturally moisturized. In addition to this, you should avoid consumption of alcohol, nicotine and caffeine which have a negative effect on your skin, making it appear dull and haggard. Regular exercise is also beneficial for the skin by stimulating circulation of blood and supplying oxygen to all parts of the body, thus making your skin glow with natural health.
In addition to this there are several face packs you can make at home to improve the tone and texture of your skin. A face pack prepared with oats, ground almonds, yoghurt and honey can be applied on the face and neck and washed off after 10 minutes. This is excellent for improving your skin and making it appear fresh and healthy. If you want to lighten your skin color and get rid of the tan, you can apply a face pack prepared using the white of an egg and some honey. This acts as natural bleach and moisturizes the skin. Turmeric is also beneficial for acquiring healthy, glowing skin. You can apply a face pack made with turmeric powder and fresh cream on your face and neck and wash it off after 20 minutes with warm water. Similarly a face pack prepared wit sandalwood powder and rose water can also help to lighten the skin and improve the texture of the skin. Cucumber juice helps to improve the texture of the skin and thus you can mix equal quantities of cucumber juice and fresh curd and apply it on your face. You can also mix some fresh cucumber juice with raw milk and use this to cleanse your face with a cotton ball, instead of using your face cleanser or face wash. Another good natural face cleanser can be prepared using the powder of green gram with milk. This helps to lighten the tan and leaves the skin glowing naturally.
