Gone are the days when having beautiful skin was only a woman’s priority! Everyone nowadays desires soft, smoother, and, of course, blemish-free glowing skin. With our hectic schedules, irregular eating habits, insufficient sleep, and pollution, achieving flawless and picture-perfect, glowing skin has become difficult, if not impossible.

While the market is flooded with skin and beauty care products, nothing beats the goodness and wholesomeness of natural products. So, go into your kitchen today and make some of these simple home remedies that promise to give you glowing skin!

Here’s a rundown of some of the best home remedies for glowing skin:

 Turmeric (Skin Type- Dry & Oil):

Turmeric is a divine spice with anti-bacterial properties that will never let you down. Turmeric is a powerful antioxidant that contributes to that beautiful glow. It contains curcumin, an anti-inflammatory agent that aids in the removal of puffiness. Turmeric not only makes your skin glow, but it also rejuvenates it and keeps dull skin at bay.

Combine half a teaspoon of turmeric powder and one cup of gram flour (chickpea flour). Mix in enough milk/water to make a smooth paste. Add a few drops of rose water and mix well. Apply this paste to your face and neck and leave it on for a few minutes to dry. After that, rinse with cool water.

Honey (Skin Type – Oily, Acne-Prone & Combination)

Honey is an excellent moisturizer that helps to keep the skin hydrated. Honey’s anti-bacterial properties aid in the prevention of infections as well as the reduction of blemishes and acne at home. Honey keeps your skin spotless. It has bleaching properties and aids in the fading of pigmentation and scars.
You can apply honey directly to your face and neck, but make sure your skin is clean and damp. Massage for a few minutes to allow it to absorb into the skin. Now, rinse with lukewarm water.

Olive Oil (Skin Type- Dry)

Olive oil protects the skin by acting as an antioxidant. It aids in the prevention of premature skin aging. Applying olive oil to the skin after sun exposure is known to fight cancer-causing cells. Olive oil is well-known for its ability to repair skin damage. It’s not only good for your skin, but it also gives it a nice shine.
Apply a few drops of olive oil all over your face and neck every night before going to bed. Massage for two to three minutes in an upward direction. Now, wet a towel, squeeze out the excess water, and place it on your face and neck for about a minute. Dip the towel in warm water again and gently wipe away the excess oil from the face and neck. Dry off the face and neck area with another clean towel. Include this step in your monsoon skincare routine as well.

Orange Juice (Skin Type- All)

Oranges are loaded with Vitamin C and can aid in detoxification. A glass of orange juice every day helps to clean the complexion and rejuvenate the skin quickly. Orange, which contains Vitamin C and citric acid, also helps to control acne and firm the skin.
So, make it a habit to squeeze a few oranges each morning. Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to this freshly made juice and drink it alongside other breakfast items. Alternatively, you can make a smooth paste with a few pieces of orange peel and a few drops of rose water. Apply this paste all over your face and rinse with cool water after 15 minutes.

Milk (Skin Type- Oily, Acne Prone and Dry)

Tyrosine, a melanin-regulating hormone, causes skin darkening. Milk regulates the level of Tyrosine in the skin and promotes glowing skin. Raw milk is one of the most easily accessible ingredients for healthy skin.

You can apply raw milk to your skin or make a paste with it and other ingredients.

Besan (Skin Types-All)

Over the years, this has been a tried and true agent in homes. When it comes to healthier and shinier skin, Besan has never let us down. Besan or gram flour is a natural exfoliator that aids in the removal of dead skin cells. You don’t have to buy expensive cosmetics or face packs off the shelf. Besan works wonders by bringing healthier, newer skin to the surface.
Besan is prepared by combining it with water, milk, or other ingredients. It is applied to the skin in the form of a pack. Sugar is sometimes added to aid in exfoliation.

 Cucumber (Skin Types- Acne-Prone, Dry & Sensitive)

Do you have dry skin, chapped skin, or dark circles? Cucumbers should be included not only in your diet but also in your beauty routine. Cucumber’s pH level is the same as our skin’s. It promotes glowing skin by replenishing the skin’s protective layer and keeping it hydrated.
As seen in magazines and on television, you can apply cucumber slices to your eyes. You can also use a mixer grinder to extract the juice from cucumber.

Papaya (Skin Type-Dry)

This one contains a secret beauty ingredient called papain. Not only is papain beneficial to the liver, but it also benefits the skin. This enzyme has skin lightening properties and can be used to lighten blemishes and scars. Papaya is also a gentle exfoliator that aids in the removal of inactive protein cells and dead skin cells. It produces excellent results and keeps the skin looking young and healthy, with a lovely glow.

Papaya can also be ground in a blender, and the resulting paste can be applied liberally to the skin.

Aloe Vera (Skin Types-All)

You can make your own aloe vera juice or add aloe vera gel to smoothies and other beverages. It can also be applied to the skin directly. Apply aloe gel to your skin by gently scraping it from the leaves. Allow for 10 to 15 minutes. After that, rinse your skin with cool water and pat it dry.
