How To Get Smooth Skin

Although there are numerous skin care products on the market that promise to give you smooth and flawless skin, they can be expensive and some even have harsh ingredients that can damage your skin.

Luckily, your skin can become smooth and clear with the help of some readily available natural ingredients.

1. Water

One of the most important things you can do for smooth and glowing skin is drink plenty of water. Your aim should be to drink 8 to 10 glasses of water a day. Water helps the body flush out toxins and waste. However, avoid sugary drinks, alcohol and carbonated drinks.

Also try to eat fruits and vegetables that are high in water content. Washing your face at least twice a day with water and using coconut oil to moisturise will also help improve your skin’s health and appearance.

 

2. Lemon Juice

Lemon juice can be used to cleanse your skin, lighten spots and scars, as well as soften and smooth it.

This citrus-rich fruit contains cleansing enzymes that remove dead skin cells, leaving your skin smoother and fresher. With its excellent astringent properties, lemon is a great natural cleanser for people who have oily skin.

 

3. Tomatoes

Fresh tomato is an excellent natural skin toner. It can also help treat pimples and blemishes.

  • To make your skin soft and smooth, puree some fresh tomatoes in a blender or grinder. Apply the tomato paste to your face. Leave it on for 10 minutes and then wash it off with water. Daily use can help shrink enlarged pores and give you smoother, glowing skin.

4. Honey

Honey is another natural ingredient that you can use to get smooth skin.

  • Apply raw honey to your face and neck, leave it on for about 10 minutes and then rinse it off with cold water. This simple remedy will make your skin soft and smooth.
  • Another option is to mix an egg white with honey and apply it to your face for 20 minutes. Wash it off with cold water and a delicate soap to remove the smell from the egg white.

5. Tea Tree Oil

Tea tree oil has antibacterial properties that help fight acne-causing bacteria. It is also good for reducing scars and blemishes.

Some people can be allergic to the oil, so it is highly recommended to try it first on your inner wrist area before applying it to your face.
