How to Get Glowing Skin in 2017
There are always better and brighter ways out there to get glowing skin. Whether you have lost your glow in recent years, or are trying to give your skin that extra luster, here are some solutions to get your skin glowing in 2017.
1. Avoid Excess Sugar.
Any food containing a high glycemic index, such as sugary sweets and carbs like bread, will increase cortisol, which will cause the sugars to weaken collagen. We need collagen to keep our skin firm and supple so skip the donuts and eat some veggies instead.
2. Exercise.
Exercise is important for many things, including strength, reduced inflammation, your heart, and your lungs. However, not everyone knows that exercise can work wonders for your skin. Exercise increases circulation in the body, which brings blood to the cells that carry valuable nutrients to the surface of the skin and helps carry away toxins.
3. Drink Green Tea.
Green tea is known to be highly effective at helping people with different ailments, not least of which is to create healthier skin. Green tea can help fight signs of aging by fighting free radicals. It is also known to reduce inflammation and improve your skin’s elasticity.
4. Eat Tomatoes.
Do you like tomatoes? These fantastic fruits are said to pack a punch when it comes to skin health. Instead of eating them, turn them into a do it yourself face mask. Mix a tablespoon of tomato juice and a few drops of lime juice and apply it to the skin with a cotton ball. To create a glowing complexion, mix honey and tomato juice until the mixture becomes a thick paste.
5. Addressing Pimples.
Unfortunately, acne isn’t a skin condition that everyone grows out of. Many adults still deal with painful pimples and other acne lesions, and the battle for clear skin can be tough. Learning what type of acne you have is a good first step, but maintaining a regular skin cleansing regimen is essential. Every morning and every night, be sure to give your skin a gentle scrub, and always make sure to wash your face before and after a workout. Consistency is truly the key to clear skin, and being diligent with your facial cleansing routine will help clear those pimples.
6. Eat Omega-3 Fatty Acid Rich Foods.
Foods such as salmon, walnuts, and olive oil contain healthy fats that help the skin build collagen. Many first-time vegetarians make the mistake of not supplementing their diets with adequate Omega-3s found in meat, which can lead to worsened breakouts. If you are a vegetarian, find alternatives that pack the right amount of Omega-3s to keep your skin looking healthy.
7. Get More Sleep.
Sleep is one of the most important factors to maintaining your youthful glow. Get your necessary seven to eight hours of sleep in order to allow your body enough time to rebuild damaged skin and produce collagen to keep your skin firm. Avoid sleepless nights by putting your phone on “do not disturb” mode before bed. Decrease the negative effects of the blue light on your phone by turning on your phone’s nighttime setting. Finally, avoid technology about an hour before bed so that you can settle in.
8. Relax More.
It's easier said than done, but reduced stress is critical to keeping skin youthful and glowing. If you have preexisting conditions such as severe acne, rosacea, or psoriasis, you can lessen their effects or avoid them all together by reducing stress. If you have a busy schedule, there are a few ways to help reduce it. For example, take some time to yourself to take a meditation class, read a book, or cook yourself a healthy meal. Take some alone time to refocus your thoughts. Look away from your e-mail, and put in some headphones. Maintaining healthy habits like this will help reduce your stress and make your skin glow again.
9. Be Gentle with Your Skin.
You should never get into the habit of scrubbing your face until it is raw. In fact, even when you remove makeup you should use only the gentlest cleanser and gently wipe your makeup off. If you can’t get all of your mascara off in one try, for example, dab a Q-tip in baby oil to get the access mascara right off.

I’ve always admired your beautiful skin. Thanks for sharing your skin regimen. So radiant, indeed!
I really need to get relaxed more.. Been busy lately with work, I no longer have time to pamper myself! Thanks for sharing your tips with us!
Green tea.. Tomatoes… Oh, that’s what I’ve been missing then.
I probably won’t be able to make the first tip. I’m so bad with exercises. I hate doing exercise.
I need to do something about my pimples. Thanks for all these tips!
Love this! I admire you for sharing your tips with us, at the same time, giving us advice about us girls’ most common skin care problem – pimples. You have such a generous heart Heidi!
Ahhh… I’m a sugar addict.. I love everything sweet. I guess I need to sacrifice if I really want a healthier skin.
I’ve got this really oily skin and pimples keep sprouting every month. I’ve tried all the treatments for acne but my skin already suffered a lot. Thanks for helping us with some of our common girl problems. 🙂
Sleep is a luxury I couldn’t afford lately due to work and busy schedules. I really should find time to relax and sleep 24 hours soon.
There’s no wonder you got that radiant skin! You take care of yourself with love and dedication. I wish I could do the same with mine.
I’ve got sweet tooth, I couldn’t live a day without sugar, so I think I’ll just minimize it instead of avoiding this condiment. But exercise and getting enough sleep? No problemo. Thanks for this tips, really helpful and rejuvenating!
Tomatoes as face mask for skin care? Wow, that’s awesome! I’m glad I saw this, I get to learning something new everyday.
You certainly have that radiantly glowing skin. Thanks for sharing these tips. I wasn’t really aware about those tomatoes, though. That was a nice trick.
Love all these steps on how to have glowing skin. Now I can have celebrity-like skin too!
Oh I’m guilty with that rubbing skin raw when cleaning the make up off. I don’t know why, but I always get the need to rub it off rigidly so as to take away all remnants of cosmetics. My bad.
No wonder you have such amazingly radiant skin! Those are kind of a lot of skin care regimen but definitely worth trying.
I better get enough sleep.. I’ve been awake for days, working on the night shift at work and all that. I seriously need to take care of myself.
Oh sugar crush! I love everything sweet! I guess I should cut back then..
Best skin tips ever!
I definitely need to sleep more!
Yes, great skin care tips! Glad to know that there are home based products like veggies that we could use to help our skin glow 🙂
So beautiful!
True, there are a lot of things to be considered if one would love to have luxurious glowing skin. I’m so thankful for always guiding us and sharing us your ideas Heidi!
More sleep and relax… Got it!
So there’s still a chance for me to get glowing white skin… Yes! Thank you for all these!
Always rehydrate, that’s my number 1 advice if you’d ask me. Always drinking water will definitely replenish lost fluids in the body and makes you feel relaxed and refreshed and makes skin glow. Just my two cents.
Love all these tips. Never thought some things/items at home can be used for skin glowing processes. Very nice!
I had been using lots of lotion and moisturizers to keep my skin smooth and fair, but I notice it doesn’t have the same glow as before when I haven’t been married. Now that I’m a regular at our kitchen, I’ll keep those nifty ideas of yours in mind.
Yes, I agree with sleeping.. We always need to do some rest and relaxation. Sleeping is what every body need to condition not only our minds but also our pores/skin.
Great tips! I’m sure these will yield great results! Thanks for this, The Ambitionista!
Such flawless beauty!
I’m guilty with the heavy skin scrubbing, I know that’s wrong and I should be more careful on how to handle my skin. Thanks for this tip.

Tomatoes as skin / face mask? Now that’s interesting! I can’t wait to try it at home.
