I used to spend so much money on fancy face stuff. Little bottles that cost as much as dinner. Pretty packaging. Big promises.

Then one day I just stopped. Started looking in my kitchen instead. And you know what? Most of the good stuff was already there.

I tried a bunch of natural remedies for glowing skin over the years. Some were terrible. Made me break out. Made me look like a tomato. But these twelve? They actually did something. And you don’t need to be rich or go to some fancy store. Just open your cabinets.

Natural Remedies for Glowing Skin at Home

1. Honey

Not the fancy kind with the little comb piece. Just regular honey. The one you put in tea. Smear it on your face. Leave it for ten minutes. Rinse. That’s it. Your face feels so soft right after. It kills bacteria too so if you get little pimples, honey helps. This is one of those old home remedies for glowing skin that people have used forever because it just works. No hype. Just sticky face and soft skin after.

2. Alovera

That green thing that many people leave hanging in their window! Now go ahead, take a piece of it, cut off one end, and rub the clear stuff from the inside of it on your face and how nice will that feel? Super! If your face is sunburned or if you have red bumps – or you feel upset for no reason – then put some on and leave it on for about 15 minutes, then rinse with cool water. This is a very natural way to have beautiful, healthy looking skin, and since you can keep growing more leaves to use on the vine, it costs you nothing!!

3. Yoghurt

Not the strawberry one with sugar. Just plain. Put it on your face for ten minutes. It has something in it that eats dead skin. I don’t know the science word. Lactic something? But you rinse it off and your face is so smooth. My grandma did this. Her grandma probably did too.

4. Turmeric

Okay this one’s messy. It stains everything yellow, fingers, towel and sink. So be ready. But mix a tiny bit with honey. Put it on your face for five minutes. Not longer. Rinse really well. It takes away redness. Makes your face look brighter. Like you actually slept. If you want to know how to get glowing skin naturally, this is a good one to try. Just use an old towel and don’t wear anything nice.

5. Oats

Yes, that’s the food that people eat for breakfast! And yes, oats are also the base of a skin care recipe I’m going to share with you. The recipe is for oatmeal masks, which you can use on your face or body to relieve dry, irritated, inflamed, red, blistery, rashy and/or just plain “ewww” skin. Oats are such a gentle, soothing topically applied product that they feel magical when applied to both slightly inflamed and completely inflamed skin. So if you want natural ways to make your skin glow, you should add oatmeal to your pantry because you probably have some already!

6. Coconut oil

It may be a miracle for some, it could break an oily skinned person out. It a matter of knowing your face. Dry skin, you can apply coconut oil at nighttime, and you’ll have a perfect facial moisturizer to awaken to as you did sleep with a glowing face. Put a little coconut oil into your hand to warm it up first, then dab it on – if you have oliy skin, this may not be for you. For dry skin persons, you will love how soft you will wake up to and want to keep touching your face like a weird person, as an at-home remedy for glowing skin.

7. Cucumber

Not just for fancy spas. It actually works. Cucumber is cold and full of water. Cut two slices. Put them on your eyes for ten minutes. The puffiness goes down. You look less like you stayed up all night watching shows and crying. Part of learning how to get glowing skin naturally is realizing the simple stuff works best. You don’t need gold flakes or tiny spoons or whatever.

8. Lemon juice

Okay but don’t be dumb about this one. Lemon brightens stuff. But please don’t leave it on too long. And never go in the sun after. You will burn. Trust me. I learned the hard way. Once a week max. It’s one of those natural remedies for glowing skin that works great if you’re careful and ruins your week if you’re not.

9. Papaya

The ripe mushy kind. Papaya has something in it that eats dead skin. Like actually dissolves it. Mash up a piece. Put it on your face for ten minutes. Rinse. Your face is so smooth after. It feels fancy but it’s just fruit.This is the true ‘home remedy for glowing skin,’ and more than just that, you can enjoy the leftover papaya from this recipe as well!

10. Rose water

Rose water just feels nice. Your skin feels fresh and tight. It’s not going to change your life by itself but it’s one of those little natural remedies for glowing skin that just makes everything better. Plus it smells good. And cold rose water on your face after a long day is so nice.

11. Tea bags

Put them on your eyes for ten minutes. The caffeine wakes up your under eyes. Dark circles look better. It’s so simple but it works. This is real how to get glowing skin naturally stuff. Not expensive. Not complicated. Just tea that you already drank and were going to throw away anyway.

12. Water is Important

Yes, you have heard this before many times – to drink water. You will see dull and sad skin if you do not drink enough water. You do not have to drink the assigned 8 glasses a day. Just drink when you are thirsty.

Summing It Up

However, don’t attempt all at once or your face will freak out; select 2 or 3 and try those for a week to see what effect they have. Each person’s skin is a little different based on genetics, so just because it works for me doesn’t mean it will work for you.

Natural remedies for glowing skin are awesome, but they are not magic; you still need to wash your face; you still need to get enough sleep; you still cannot pick at pimples if you are stressed – while using food products from the fridge can help with your skincare, they won’t solve all your problems.

Oh and please patch test first. Put a little on your arm. Wait a day. Some people react badly to lemon or turmeric even though most people are fine. Just be smart.

Your kitchen has everything you need. I really mean that. Go look around. You probably have three of these things right now.
