With several festivities like Navratri, Dussers and Diwali being lined up for the coming months, all of you must be rushing to parlours and beauticians for beauty tips and treatments to get a glowing skin and look beautiful. Why spend time and money on beauty parlours when your house is stuffed with natural ingredients that are ideal to get a healthy and radiant skin? Dr. Apratim Goel lists down top six natural ways to get a glowing skin during the festive season:

1. Cleansing: Make a scrub of 1/4 of a cucumber, two tablespoons of yogurt and two tablespoons of oatmeal. Cleansing your face with this natural scrub thoroughly removes dirt and gives a glowing skin. Though cleansing milk or baby oil can be used to cleanse dry skin, yet this natural scrubber is anytime better than cleansing milk available in the market.

2. Bleaching: Mild bleaching of the skin helps to remove dead cells and bleach fine hair. Those with dry skin need to be careful while bleaching because even mild bleaching can worsen dry skin. Grated radish acts as a natural bleach and is a perfect medicine for dry skin type. Grate handful of radish, apply it all over your face and naturally lighten your skin at home.

3. Steam facial: This is another natural way to get a glowing skin. Steam facial improves circulation by dilating the blood vessels. It also helps melt excess oil and dirt that clogs up the pores. A steam facial is also advisable for easy extraction of black heads. There is no need to visit a beauty parlour for to get a steam facial done. Nowadays, handy steam machines are available for undergoing a quick steam facial at home.
