Homemade Remedies for Glowing Skin | Part 1| Natural Skincare | Bijay Anand

Summary

Bijay Anand shares personal skincare and self-care practices, emphasizing simple ingredients, gentle massage, and caring for the body as well as inner wellbeing. These are presented as his own routine and beliefs, not as medical guidance.

Skincare practices he describes

• Palm and finger massage: Rub the palms together, then massage the face with the fingers. He believes regular massage helps keep facial skin firm.
• Neem: He says he chews neem for about 15 minutes in the morning and takes in the juice. He recommends using it for 10 days, then taking a 15-day break, and attributes benefits for skin concerns to neem. These health claims are his own.
• Almond-oil blend: Add six strands of saffron and a gold coin or piece of gold to cold-pressed organic almond oil. Leave it for 12 days, shaking it occasionally, then apply a small amount to the skin.
• Coconut oil: He uses cold-pressed organic coconut oil more often in summer and says keeping skin moisturized is important. He applies oil before bed.
• Gram-flour face or body pack: Mix gram flour with a pinch of turmeric and cream (malai) or milk. Leave it on for 10–15 minutes, then rinse in the shower. He advises not using soap afterward.
• Oats-and-honey mask: For winter, mix oats and honey and apply to the face or body. He advises against using this in summer, describing honey as “heaty” in Ayurveda.
• Cotton towels: He prefers lightweight cotton towels, which he says exfoliate dead skin when used after a shower and require less water to wash. He also carries his own towel while traveling to avoid unnecessary towel changes.
• Nighttime cleansing: He uses Clinique Mild Liquid Facial Soap once a day, before bed, and applies oil afterward.

Broader wellness ideas

• Treat the body with care and focus on nurturing it rather than pursuing appearance alone.
• He connects a “glow” with kindness, compassion, gratitude, and feeling connected to nature.
• He also emphasizes conserving water as part of everyday self-care and travel habits.
