Have you grown weary of your dull and lifeless-looking skin? Would you like to change it without any expensive skincare procedure? How about doing it at home? We can show you how to get clear, glowing skin at home without breaking the bank.

We will introduce you to the 7-day glowing skin challenge at home. Following this beauty routine will give you radiant and glowing skin in a week. If you are tired of using multiple products, going through different treatments and trying other diets with no results, then this challenge is for you. It will surprise you with the difference it makes in just seven days.

Your Beauty Plan for the Next Week

Behold the secret behind the 7-day beauty challenge. In the following, we will explain what steps you should take to get the skin you want. These steps help you start small and move to more significant steps. Doing so helps assure you that you can settle into this routine quickly and won’t have trouble following it.

Day1. Adopt Healthy Skin Habits

Habits make your future. So, if you want healthy, radiant and glowing skin, start with your daily routines. Pick essential skincare habits like cleansing, toning and moisturising every morning and night.

Start with these three steps:

Cleanse: Your face collects oil, dust, and dirt like a sponge, so you better wash your face with a cleanser (suitable for your skin) every day to get rid of all the debris. It will freshen up the skin and help prevent pores from getting clogged. 

Tone: After washing your face, use a toner. It will balance your skin’s pH and remove excessive oil, makeup, and other purities. Use a hydrating toner if you have sensitive and dry skin, whereas a clarifying toner if you have oily and combination skin.

Moisturize: Now moisturise your skin and lock in the freshness. Yes, moisturising will keep you from losing water and your skin supple. Moisturising also helps maintain a healthy skin oil balance.  It doesn’t matter whether you have dry or oily skin; you must always keep your skin moisturised.

This essential routine will help you win the seven-day glowing skin challenge at home. Cleaning, toning and moisturising your skin twice daily will help your skin glow but also help fight off other skin issues like flakiness, signs of ageing, acne breakout, etc. Just use light and gentle products that are right for your skin.

Day2. Change Your Diet

Now that your skincare regime has improved, you better adopt a healthier diet.  Whatever you eat affects your skin, which makes “skincare diet” a science (or subject) on its own. This science goes beyond drinking lots of water; it’s pretty complex. However, we want to keep things simple and introduce some simple changes (instead of something drastic). Making more minor changes will make it easy to start and keep following this routine for a long.

•       More Meat and Eggs

These protein foods have building blocks (amino acids) that help make collagen, which keeps the skin firm.

•       More Oily Fish

Oily fish, including salmon, sardines’ trout and mackerel, are rich in beneficial fats. These nutrients help your skin stay hydrated, helping you get supple and plumbly skin. Healthy oils are the best internal moisturiser; they keep the cell walls hydrated. So, add 1-2 portions of oily fish to your weekly meal. If money is an issue, try a wild one instead of farmed; it’s cheaper and has better fat composition.

•       More Nuts, Almonds, Walnuts and Hazelnuts

It would be best to have more healthy fats in your diet, so add stuff like chia, flaxseed, almonds, hazelnuts, walnuts, almonds, (etc.) to keep your skin well-oiled. These nuts are also a good source of vitamin E, active sunblock, and zinc.  These nutrients keep your skin soft and supple and help heal blemishes, inflammation, redness, rosacea and acne. 

Make these changes while drinking lots of water, and you have built a strong foundation.

Day 3. Get Some Proper Sleep

You need proper sleep, like you need food and water. Adequate sleep lets your body and brain repair and recharge themselves. During sleep, your body produces human growth hormones (HGH) that repair damaged cells.

Moreover, during sleep, the blood flow to your skin increases, giving you more oxygen and nutrients. This significantly increases the flush out of toxins responsible for breakouts or reactions on your skin, helping improve your skin’s look. 

Furthermore, sleep regulates oil production, as any imbalance can cause issues. Yes, too much oil production clogs your pores and leads to an acne breakout. Not producing enough oil can make your skin dry and dull. So, you need a balanced amount to make your skin look vibrant and glowing. Apart from Oil, a proper night’s sleep also helps produce more collagen. It helps repair skin cells and fight off signs of ageing like wrinkles, fine lines, crow’s feet, etc.

Day4. Exfoliate At Least Once a Week

How to get clear and glowing skin at home? Simple, exfoliate it regularly.

Exfoliation, at its most basic, helps your skin stay smooth and soft as it buffs away and removes dead skin. Yes, the human skin sheds dead cells once every month and forms the top layer of your skin with new cells. These dead cells (if not cleared away) make your skin dry, dull and flaky.

So, exfoliate at least once a week to remove dead cells or any residue from your skin’s surface. Doing so reveals bright, smooth and healthier skin.

Regular exfoliation also improves skin texture by smoothing rough patches and fine lines, leaving the skin supple and softer. More importantly, exfoliation can help improve your body’s collagen production. Yes, as it helps repair skin cells, your skin becomes more elastic and robust. This equips the skin to fight ageing as a loss of collagen production paves the way to wrinkles, fine lines, saggy skin and other signs of ageing. So, by boosting collagen production, you can keep your skin looking young and radiant.

If you want to achieve quick results from exfoliation, we suggest you exfoliate two or three times during the seven-day glowing skin challenge at home.

Day 5. Supercharge Your Skin with a Serum

The suitable serum for your skin does many wonders, including:

•       Hydrates the skin
•       Balances Oil production and Keeps Breakouts at bay
•       Protects your skin from free radicals and other damage
•       Keeps inflammation in check
•       Fights off signs of ageing
•       Makes your skin feel light and fresh

But how can it help you get glowing and radiant skin in 7 days? A facial serum is a concentrated skincare product with a high active ingredient content that addresses different skin concerns. These ingredients are Vitamin C, Retinol, Antioxidants, Hyaluronic Acid, etc.

For example. Some serums are designed for acne, hyperpigmentation, ageing, dehydration, dull skin, etc.  In this case, look for a serum containing Vitamin C, Niacinamide and Hyaluronic acid. Check its online review, and ensure it suits your skin. Use it daily, right after you wash your face (day and night), to brighten your skin tone.

It will take a month or so before you get proper results, but using it twice daily with the rest of these suggestions can help you see some visible effects within a week.  To boost your chances even more, look for Serums with Vitamin B3, which helps fade away dark sports apart from brightening your skin.

Day6. Time for a Hydrating Mask

Face masks help the skin glow as they improve blood circulation. A hydrating mask will give you a dewy complexion, making your skin look more youthful and vibrant.

As the mask dries on your face and hardens, removing it causes a boost of blood flow in your skin’s blood vessels. Moreover, it removes excess oil (cutting off the chances of an acne breakout) and helps clear your pores while hydrating the skin.

This improves the skin tone, making it feel soft and smooth, with a more refreshed outlook or radiant glow. Yes, you may feel tingling, but you won’t have to worry if you mind your skin and choose the face mask ingredients accordingly.

You will need a mask with Vitamin C, Kaolin Clay and Ubtan. If you have sensitive skin or get reactions often, we recommend you find something with Turmeric and glycerin.

Choosing a mask with these ingredients will help you get radiant and glowing skin without risking anything; it’s a safe bet despite your skin type or condition.

Day7. Facial Steaming and Facial Massage

Frankly, this should have been the first step. You can build on your routine and follow it accordingly once you get a facial steaming and massage. We’ve mentioned it because this can be expensive, and it’s optional for people with healthy skin. But if your skin is rough and needs work, you must consider it.

Steaming your face will open the pores and make it easy to clear dirt, allowing for an effective deep clean. This, combined with the benefits of facial massage, improves blood circulation (by a considerable margin) and delivers more oxygen. This nourishes the skin and leaves a clean, flushed, glowing skin.

Ideally, we recommend getting this treatment twice, once right before you start the routine and the second time once a week, like the 4th or 5th day. This will ensure you get the best results possible.
