Binging on organic food is good to get rid of toxins in our bodies but it is also important to pay attention to what you apply on your body.

Cleansers, toners, moisturisers, oils and serums are part of the larger skincare regime and therefore, the right ingredients in these products play an equally important role.

Here are some tips that experts suggest for softer, glowing skin – perfect for winter.

1) Exfoliate

Regular exfoliation helps get rid of dead skin, which in turn helps your skin breathe and absorb other nutrients. Exfoliated skin looks fresh and healthy. For a completely natural skin exfoliator you can use an almond and orange face scrub.

Exfoliating also promotes a radiant appearance by helping your skin unclog pores and remove tanning. Olive seed oil is considered to be great ingredient for that as it deeply moisturises the skin and improves hydration level of the skin. It helps in eliminating dead skin cells and refines the texture of the skin.

2) Ghee

Having a spoon of cow ghee or cold pressed coconut oil every morning moisturises the entire body including your skin.

It is a habit you can develop over time but this will definitely show result with softer and even skin tone in the long run.

3) Essential oils

These oils are more than just the concentrated fragrant essence of botanicals. Their aromatic scents, natural healing and cleansing properties make them a perfect supplement for your beauty
routine.

No matter what type of skin you have, there is an essential oil that can enhance and balance your complexion.

4) Coconut oil
