How to Get Glowing Skin

While some holistic formulas have an instant effect on the skin, bringing out its luminosity, supporting healthy radiant skin is the result of a long-term, conscious connection between  skin, body, and spirit. If you're wondering how to get glowing skin, the secret lies in a holistic lifestyle that deeply nurtures and nourishes the skin from within, creating a lasting glow that reflects true inner harmony.

Hydration and Skin-Boosting Foods

Hydration is one of the cornerstones of glowing skin–sipping plenty of water throughout the day encourages a supple, luminous complexion. 

Eating with intention—focusing on nutrient-dense, skin-supporting whole foods—also supports skin health from within. Dark leafy greens like spinach and kale are rich in lutein, which helps promote skin elasticity and hydration. These greens provide essential nutrients that support overall vitality for the entire body, including a healthy complexion. Even small, mindful changes in your diet, like adding antioxidant-rich berries to your breakfast or incorporating garlic into your meals, can have a profound and lasting impact on your skin’s radiance.

 

Movement and Its Impact on Skin Health

Movement is a powerful way to bring life and vibrancy to skin. When you move your body—whether through yoga, a peaceful walk, or dancing around your home—you encourage circulation and lymphatic drainage. This increased blood flow delivers fresh oxygen and essential nutrients to your skin cells, giving you that natural, healthy flush that encourages a brighter, awakened skin tone. 

Movement also supports lymphatic drainage, which is crucial for detoxifying the skin and reducing puffiness. Lymphatic flow assists with the removal of toxins from the body, encouraging clear and vibrant skin. 

 

The Power of Rest and a Soothing Evening Routine

Rest is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, elements of skin health. Quality sleep provides a level of rejuvenation for your skin that no skincare product can replace. During restful sleep, the body naturally enters a state of renewal, allowing the skin to heal and restore its vitality from within. A consistent, soothing evening routine is essential for setting the stage for restorative sleep which can help reduce the signs of aging. 

Creating a calming environment for sleep can make all the difference. A spritz of Bulgarian Rose Water on your pillow or using Bulgarian Lavender Body Oil or Serene Lavender Body Lotion before bed can help relax the mind and body, creating a tranquil atmosphere for restful sleep. The aromatic benefits of Bulgarian Lavender help soothe the nervous system, encouraging deep relaxation and allowing the skin to recharge overnight.

When the body and mind are in sync, the skin reflects that calm and balance, resulting in a brighter, more even complexion by morning.

 

Manual Techniques for Glowing Skin: Face Massage and Gua Sha

Manual techniques like facial massage and Gua Sha are gentle yet powerful ways to enhance your skin’s natural glow. These methods stimulate circulation, bringing fresh oxygen and nutrients to skin while helping detoxify and tone the complexion and encourage detoxification through the lymph channels.

Gua Sha, an ancient practice rooted in traditional Chinese medicine and skin care, involves using a smooth tool to gently glide over the skin. This technique encourages lymphatic drainage, helps reduce puffiness, and helps move stagnant energy, allowing the skin to detoxify and heal. The result is a brighter, clearer complexion with improved skin tone and radiance.

Tammy’s Quartz Gua Sha tool is perfect for this ritual. Crafted from smooth, cooling quartz, it works by gently contouring the face, helping to release tension and support lymphatic drainage. Regular use helps reduce puffiness, improve circulation, and promote clarity. This tool not only enhances skin health but also offers a calming, meditative moment in your skincare routine, nurturing both skin and spirit.

Body brushing is another beautiful technique for achieving glowing skin. Using a dry brush, this practice exfoliates the skin while stimulating circulation and lymphatic flow. It helps to detoxify the body, remove dead skin cells, and create a smoother, more toned appearance. Regular body brushing encourages the skin’s natural renewal process and supports overall vitality, making it a lovely complement to your skincare ritual.

Epi-Body Polish is another wonderful way to beautifully exfoliate and detoxify the skin. This award-winning, multi-purpose exfoliating scrub and body mask combines a blend of soothing Marjoram, uplifting Peppermint, and cleansing Watercress. With exfoliants designed to both buff and polish, it can be used as a scrub or left as an aromatic mask, leaving the skin soft, nourished, and radiant.

The Body Gua Sha tool offers another deeply nourishing technique, ideal for releasing tension, soothing muscles, and boosting circulation. The gentle gliding motion enhances lymphatic flow, supporting the immune system and promoting fascial health for a radiant, balanced appearance.

 

Sun Protection 

When spending long days outdoors, sun protection helps guard against harmful UV rays that can lead to skin cancer and premature aging. Apply a mineral-based, broad spectrum sunscreen, mineral-based sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) after your moisturizer. As sunscreen can dry skin, it’s best to cleanse it away as soon as you've returned indoors.

Ultimately, however, Tammy recommends relying on physical sunblock, pairing your sunscreen with a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved tops, and sunglasses to shield your skin and eyes naturally. This mindful approach supports your skin’s health and vitality, even on the sunniest days.

 

The Role of Joy, Emotional Well-Being, and Time in Nature

Emotional well-being plays a vital role in revealing your glowing skin. A peaceful mind and heart are reflected in the skin, creating a natural radiance. Reducing stress through contemplative practices and by creating time for joyful moments—whether it’s laughter, spending time with loved ones, or indulging in a favorite activity—helps calm the body, which in turn supports healthier skin.

Time spent in nature is a powerful way to nourish wellbeing in every way. A peaceful walk through a garden, sitting in the sun’s warmth, or simply breathing in fresh air can help ground the body and mind, easing stress and brightening the complexion. Nature’s rhythms naturally reduce stress hormones, which can otherwise contribute to skin issues like breakouts or dullness.

By cultivating moments of joy and connecting with nature, emotional well-being is restored, which encourages healthy and glowing skin.
