Let’s do this – one day, one glow-boosting step at a time!
Pro tip: Consistency is key! Following these steps regularly will help you maintain long-lasting results.
Day 1: Know Your Skin Type
Before you dive into a skincare routine, it’s important to understand your skin type. This will help you choose the right ingredients and methods that suit your skin best. Here’s a simple way to determine your skin type:
- Wash your face with a gentle cleanser and pat it dry.
- Wait for 30 minutes without applying any product.
- Observe your skin:
- If it feels tight and flaky → Dry skin
- If it looks shiny all over → Oily skin
- If it’s shiny in the T-zone but dry on the cheeks → Combination skin
- If it feels neither too dry nor too oily → Normal skin
- If it’s red, itchy, or easily irritated → Sensitive skin
Once you know your skin type, you can build a skincare routine that caters to your skin’s specific needs.
Pro tip: Don’t guess your skin type—knowing it properly will save you from using the wrong products!
Day 2: Cleansing and Hydration
Now that you’ve identified your skin type, let’s start with the basics—cleansing and hydration. Cleansing removes dirt and excess oil, while hydration keeps your skin fresh and plump.
Natural Cleansing Routine for Each Skin Type:
- Dry Skin: Use a honey and milk cleanser to retain moisture.
- Oily Skin: Try a gram flour (besan) and yogurt cleanser to absorb excess oil.
- Combination Skin: Use aloe vera gel with a few drops of rose water for balance.
- Normal Skin: A simple raw milk and turmeric cleanser works wonders.
- Sensitive Skin: Opt for a mild oatmeal and honey cleanser to soothe irritation.
Hydration Tips:
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water.
- Use a lightweight, natural moisturizer suited for your skin type.
- Apply aloe vera gel before bed for an overnight hydration boost.
Pro tip: Double cleansing at night helps remove all dirt and sunscreen buildup, keeping your skin clear!
Day 3: Exfoliation for Radiant Skin
Exfoliation is a game-changer when it comes to glowing skin. It removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and enhances absorption of skincare products.
Natural Exfoliation for Each Skin Type:
- Dry Skin: Use oatmeal and honey for a gentle scrub.
- Oily Skin: A mixture of coffee grounds and yogurt works best.
- Combination Skin: Try sugar and olive oil for balanced exfoliation.
- Normal Skin: A simple papaya and rice flour scrub will keep your skin smooth.
- Sensitive Skin: Opt for finely ground rice flour mixed with aloe vera gel.
Exfoliate twice a week to avoid irritation. Over-exfoliating can strip your skin’s natural oils and cause breakouts.
Pro tip: Always moisturize after exfoliating to restore hydration and maintain skin balance!
Day 4: Home Remedies for Radiant Skin – DIY Glow Masks
Face masks provide deep nourishment and target skin concerns effectively. Use these natural face masks based on your skin type:
- Dry Skin: Banana and honey mask for intense hydration.
- Oily Skin: Multani mitti (Fuller’s earth) and rose water to absorb excess oil.
- Combination Skin: Yogurt and honey to maintain balance.
- Normal Skin: Cucumber and aloe vera for a refreshing glow.
- Sensitive Skin: Oatmeal and chamomile tea for soothing effects.
Pro tip: Use a face mask twice a week for the best results, and Patch test first!
Day 6: Beauty Sleep & Stress-Free Vibes
You can use the best natural skincare routine, but if you’re stressed and sleep-deprived, your skin will snitch on you.
- Sleep for 7-8 hours (no scrolling at 2 AM!).
- Try meditation or deep breathing to keep stress pimples away.
- Switch to silk pillowcases – less friction, fewer wrinkles!
Pro Tip: A lavender-scented pillow spray = deeper sleep + glowing skin. Thank me later.
Day 7: Sunscreen & Final Glow-Up
You’ve done the work, now protect your glow! Sunscreen is non-negotiable – it prevents dark spots, premature aging, and dullness.
- Use SPF 50 PA++++ sunscreen daily.
- Reapply every 2-3 hours (yes, even indoors!).
- Pair with a Vitamin C serum for extra glow power.
Pro Tip: Look for a sunscreen that’s lightweight and doesn’t leave a white cast. No one wants to look like a ghost.

Glowing skin isn’t just about external care; so what you EAT matters too!
