If you like natural makeup looks, red cheeks are something you can’t overlook! Read about the 9 ways that will help you achieve natural rosy cheeks below. These are the best measures when compared to makeup for attaining the rosy cheeks.

1. Proper And Sufficient Diet

Want to know how to get glowing skin naturally? Here is the secret! Having a good and healthy meal is the key to healthy skin and a more beautiful self (1). You should never skip your meals even when you are on diet. Crash dieting is never good for your health. You should take at least 4 nice and healthy meals a day viz. Breakfast, Lunch, tea and Dinner.

If you are hungry in between meals, you should take some light snacks which are healthy. Never leave your stomach growling for food. That will make you eat even more when you sit down to eat next.

The food you eat can give you a natural glow from inside as follows:

a.  Cut down on the red meat consumption. Include fish and chicken proteins.

b.  Add sprouts to your meals .They are a great source of proteins (2).

c. Add low-fat milk and milk products like low-fat yogurt and skimmed milk.

d.  Add lentils to your daily meals. They will give you the daily protein boost.

2. Exercise And Hydration

Regular exercise improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture and helps you maintain and preserve bright and beautiful skin (3). Include facial exercises like cheek lifts and jawline movements to improve blood circulation, leading to naturally rosy hue.

According to a recent survey conducted on 3110 adults in Great Britain, 62% of the respondents confirmed that they feel happy after a workout session. The happy hormones released after a workout have a good effect on the skin and help in regeneration. However, do not forget to clean your skin after exercising.

3. Exfoliation

Regular exfoliation of skin may help you get soft and rosy cheeks (4). However remember that if you are exfoliating your skin regularly, then a mild and very gentle scrub is the best solution. Do not scrub every day, especially in a harsh manner. It is best to exfoliate just once a week.

Quick Tip

Try natural exfoliators like coffee grounds, oatmeal, or cinnamon to gently nourish your skin as you peel away dead skin.

4. Mild Bleaching

Some mild bleaching can help you get rosy cheeks. Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 3 tablespoons of water. Apply this solution with a cotton ball to the cheeks. This will make your skin jump to life. However, if it reacts then do not continue.

5. Fill In The Deficiency

There are two vitamins that are vital to the natural glow of the skin. These are vitamin E and Vitamin C. If you see unnecessary cracking of your lips or your facial skin getting even more dry than normal, this may be the cause of a deficiency of vitamins C and E (5). Consult a good doctor and take capsules as supplements for these two Vitamins.

Alternatively or complementing the intake of supplements, you can apply a paste of Orange peel which is rich in vitamin C, and mix it up with some Cream milk and a broken Vit E capsule. Apply this paste on the skin, especially on the cheeks for 20 minutes, and wash off with lukewarm water.

Vitamin C deficiency can dull the skin. The graph below reveals the factors that play a key role in vitamin deficiency in the observed population. Overall, there are significant differences in vitamin C status and prevalence of deficiency between high-income (HIC) and low-and middle-income countries (LMIC).

6. Anger And Stress Management

Stress and anger can rip the natural glow off your skin. So try to keep the levels of anger and stress away as far away as possible. Try yoga or meditation. Sleep is also an important factor. If you are not getting enough sleep, it will mean your stress levels will not be completely countered. Sleep enough so that when you wake up, you feel cheerful and fresh. Your skin will glow naturally. Moreover, when you sleep, your skin secretes oils that nourish your skin and make you look radiant and lively.

7. Proper Massage

Circulation of blood under the skin ensures a warm glow to your skin as it were blooming.Proper massage in clockwise and anticlockwise motions can make your skin supple and rosy within days (6). Continue this to get proper benefits. You can massage your skin with facial massage cream too.

8. Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera gel has antioxidants and skin-friendly properties that protect the skin from damage. It is used in many home remedies to rejuvenate the skin. It keeps the skin moisturized and may help you get rosy cheeks (7). Apply the extracted gel and allow it to dry before rinsing it off with lukewarm water.

9. Beetroot Juice

If you want to get glowing skin, beetroot can be your best ally. Beetroot juice can give a nice rosy blush to the cheeks. Obtain juice from a medium-sized beetroot and warm it on a low flame to enhance its thickness. After cooling, add 1 tablespoon of rose water and blend thoroughly. You can also add glycerine to increase the mixture’s consistency. Refrigerate the mixture to prolong its shelf life. Apply as desired for a tinted radiance on your cheeks.

Quick Tip

You can perform a few face yoga poses, like happy cheeks sculpting (smiling without showing your teeth and pressing your index fingers to your cheekbones to lift the muscles up and hold for 20 seconds), five times a day to boost circulation.
