Get Glowing Skin, With Food!

One of your easiest and most natural sources for skin glow is using home remedies, if you work one of these recipes in regularly with your skincare regimen you should see results within a few weeks.

A glow on the skin communicates a healthy person from inside and outside. Eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables and drink 2-3 liters of plain water in a day to keep the body hydrated Furthermore for your skins well being, use the face mixes/masks made from these 6 foods to get that glow!
  • Cucumber - It is the skin’s “best friend”. It replaces the dull skin with striking glowing skin. Grate one cucumber and squeeze out its juice. Dab this freshly prepared cucumber juice on the face and neck with a cotton ball. And put the left behind grated cucumber on the eyes. Re-apply the juice on the skin 2-3 times in the span of 20 minutes. Later wash the skin water. Use it everyday for that wonderful glow on the face.
  • Egg Yolk - The yellow part of the egg called as egg yolk is excellent for skin glow. To one egg yolk mix ½ olive oil and 4-5 drops of lemon. Apply it on the skin. Keep it for 15 minutes and rinse it off. In case the mix dries up prior to the set time of 15 minutes then also wash it off. Egg packs must be cleaned immediately once it dries up else it stretches the skin and can lead to fine wrinkles. So be sure to wash the face as soon as the mask dries. It is best for dry to normal skin.
  • Avocado - It is a nutrient-rich fruit. It leaves the skin well nourished and moisturized. Take one fully ripened avocado and mash it thoroughly. To this add ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice. Mix well. Smear this paste on face and neck. Leave on for 10 minutes, then after rinse it off.
  • Banana - This fruit when mixed with honey gives instant glow. Take one tablespoon well mashed fully ripened banana and ½ teaspoon honey. Mix both together and apply it on the face. Then after 15 minutes clean skin with lukewarm water. This can be used once every two days for best results.
  • Coconut Milk - Coconut has recently become wildly popular in the health and beauty world! Take advantage of all this 'nuts' goodness. Freshly prepared coconut milk does wonders for the skin. In 2 tablespoon concentrated coconut milk add 1 teaspoon sandalwood powder. Mix both well. Using a flat brush apply the mixture on the face. Allow it to dry and after 15 minutes sponge down the mixture from the skin. This works on all the skin tones.
  • Orange - It is a good source of ingredients that assist for getting the skin glow. Take out the juice of half orange. To this add 2 teaspoon of curd and mix well. Apply the mixture on the face and leave it as it is. In the course of 20 minutes orange juice and curd shall penetrate deep inside the skin layers and fulfill all skin nutrient requirements.
