Unlocking the smooth and silky skin secret isn’t behind expensive skin products or getting skin treatment from an expensive spa and salon. Still, the secret to getting smooth and silky skin is behind the simple things and skin care which anyone can achieve at home with a simple step-by-step process. Nowadays everyone wants smooth skin with a radiant glow but how? What to use? Where to use? When to use.
Having smooth skin doesn’t just give you the pretty privilege that it promises but it also increases your self-confidence so you can feel confident socially and shine even brighter in your day. Smooth skin can also improve your complexion to make it appear even more radiant and luminous. Smooth skin gives you a youthful and younger appearance that has always been hidden within you that you could not unlock because of acne, breakouts, wrinkles, and pigmentation.
People have very complex skincare routines that promise but disrupt their skin’s natural texture and glow and are completely unnecessary. We can achieve smooth and silky skin at home with simple steps without spending much money.
These are some steps to get smooth skin at home:
CLEANSE YOUR SKIN DAILY
Our face is the most exposed part of our body as we cover every part of our body by wearing clothes. So, it’s important to wash our face regularly twice a day- in the morning and before going to sleep at night to get rid of all oil, dirt, makeup, and pollution that builds up during the day on your face. This will even out your skin pores and will help you get smooth skin at home.
We can use either cold water or lukewarm water to clean our face while using any facewash we like and stop using towels to rub your face as towels can easily add to the unwanted bacteria on your face and ruin the smoothness of your skin. Instead of that use paper towels or tissues and it is the best practice for people with dry and acne-prone skin.
EXFOLIATE TO GET SMOOTH SKIN AT HOME
The skin naturally exfoliates by itself in 20 to 25 days the face’s older layer of dead skin gets shed off and then the skin starts making new skin from the base layer. While this is a natural self-renewal process, we must regularly exfoliate and turn over our skin by removing dead skin cells from the outer layer of our skin, which also helps increase blood circulation and brighten our skin. You can exfoliate your skin with a product like an exfoliating brush, an exfoliating sponge, or an exfoliating scrub.
If you are unsure of which face scrub to use that will suit well for your skin type, then you should try making a face scrub at home by yourself. We have a whole blog available about DIY face scrubs for glowing skin that you can make at home.
You can also get our handmade Ubtan soap, Skin Tightening soap, Charcoal soap or the Rose Petal soap which are the best soaps for exfoliating and deep cleaning your face.
KEEP YOUR SKIN MOISTURIZED
Keep your skin hydrated with the help of moisturizer which supports and suits your skin, and will help your skin become luminous and glowing. The human body contains an average of 60% water and similar to the human body, our skin also needs a good amount of water to keep hydrated. If we don’t, our skin will become dry causing cracks, inflammation, acne, and will become highly reactive to cold water, sun exposure, and dehydration.
Keeping your skin hydrated by drinking enough water will make your skin refreshed and moisturized and is the first step to getting smooth skin and helps to quench your skin's thirst, leaving it plump, dewy, and revitalized.
KEEP YOUR SKIN NOURISHED
To get smooth skin at home, we have to follow a natural skincare routine daily in which we have to nourish our skin daily and for our skin nourishment, we have to follow a balanced diet by consuming a diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants including fruits, vegetable, whole grains, proteins and healthy fat in your meal. Your kitchen holds the key to getting smooth skin by following a healthy and balanced diet.
