We know, yes we know, time is a luxury and most of us don't seem to have it. That's where these tricks come in. They require literally just five minutes of your time and show results almost instantly.

However, before we further explore these ingenious hacks for glowing skin, you need to do some background work!

And with the background work, we mean tweaking your everyday habits to reap long-term skin benefits.

Quit smoking, as it can make your skin age twice as faster. Chug down that H2O, as it flushes out the toxins from your body, making your skin glow. Avoid touching your face, unless you want to transfer bacteria from your hands to face.

And of course, the most important, apply sunscreen every single day! Yes, do remember this point clearly.

So, here are 7 insanely simple hacks for an instant glowing skin, take a look!

Acne Wiping Spray

Mix a tablespoon of sea salt to a cup of warm water. Transfer the solution to a spray bottle. Shake it well and spritz it on the problem area. Let it get soaked naturally into the skin. It will help heal, repair and dry out the acne.

Caution: Avoid this trick for clear and radiant skin, if you have dry skin.

Illuminating Cheeks With Lip Balm
