Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 19 years old, and I want to know how to get glowing skin. I use only Mamaearth tea tree face wash. So please tell me how I can get glowing skin.
Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com
I read your query and understand your concern.
It is great that you are thinking about skin care at this age. In teenage years, the aim is more about keeping your skin clean, protected, and healthy. Your skin is still young and naturally capable of repairing itself, so a simple, gentle routine is the best and safest approach. It means skin that is clean, even-toned, hydrated, and healthy. Using too many products or harsh treatments at this age can actually damage your skin barrier and cause acne or irritation.
I am giving you a step-by-step approach to give you the desired effect.
Continue washing your face twice daily with a gentle face wash. The face wash you are using can sometimes be a little drying or irritating if used too often, so if you feel dryness or tightness, switching to a gentler cleanser is better. Always wash your face with your fingertips, not with scrubs or brushes, and avoid washing more than twice a day.
After washing, always use a light moisturizer, even if your skin feels oily. Hydrated skin looks brighter and healthier. A simple option like a good moisturizer is fine. Apply a small amount and spread it gently over your face. Skipping moisturizer can actually make skin dull and trigger more oil production.
In the morning, sunscreen is extremely important for glow and long-term skin health. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen like sunscreen every morning, even if you stay indoors most of the day. Apply it to your face and neck, and reapply if you are outdoors for long hours. Sunscreen prevents tanning, dullness, dark spots, and early skin damage.
For improving glow and preventing small bumps or marks, you can use Azelaic acid 10 percent only twice a week at night. Apply a very thin layer to the whole face, avoiding the eyes and lips, and always follow it with moisturizer. Do not use it daily at this age. If you feel irritation, stop and continue only with cleanser, moisturizer, and sunscreen.
General habits matter a lot for glowing skin. Drink enough water, eat fruits and vegetables, sleep well, and avoid junk food as much as possible. Do not touch or pick your face, and avoid using home remedies like lemon, toothpaste, baking soda, or fairness creams, as they can harm your skin. Also, avoid comparing your skin to social media filters; real, healthy skin has texture and pores.
If you stay consistent with this simple routine for a few weeks, your skin will naturally start looking clearer, fresher, and more radiant.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
