4 Tips to Get a Naturally Healthy Glow

The natural, no-makeup look is extremely attractive, but you can only really pull it off if you have clear, healthy skin and a natural glow. Fortunately, getting healthy-looking skin isn't rocket science. By implementing a few natural techniques, you can get beautiful skin and surprise people when you tell them you don't wear any makeup. 

1) Drink More Water 

Do you skip water but load up on sugary, caffeinated beverages? This may negatively impact your skin's appearance. Drinking at least two liters of plain, filtered water daily hydrates your skin from the inside out. 

Hydrated skin looks and feels healthier. Drinking enough also promotes healthy cellular function throughout the body; sufficient hydration means skin cells have a better chance of fending off acne causing bacteria. 

2) Use Less Soap 

Overusing soap and facial cleansers can cause increased oil production, resulting in unwanted shiny patches and fostering blackheads, whiteheads and even cystic acne. 

Rinse your face daily with cold water, but cut down on soap use to only a few times a week if you have oily skin. It may seem counter-intuitive, but reducing soap use can even out oil production.

3) Use an Apple Cider Vinegar Toner 

Make a 1:4 solution of apple cider vinegar with water, and use it as a daily toner after you wash your face. The anti-bacterial properties of the vinegar kill off acne bacteria. Additionally, the acid clears away soap residue, which helps prevent over drying and oil overproduction. Non-diluted apple cider vinegar is also excellent as an on-the-spot treatment for troublesome acne.

4) Exfoliate

A little exfoliation goes a long way. Exfoliate twice a week using a facial scrub, brown sugar, or even a loofah. Clearing away dead skin cells opens up pores and allows young, healthy skin cells to shine their brightest. 

Good Skin Care Has a Big Impact

Good skin is the foundation of looking and feeling attractive. By implementing these natural techniques for healthy skin, you can eradicate acne, cut down on oil and allow your natural beauty shine through.
