Stop wrinkles naturally

Wrinkles are part of the natural aging process. Thin lines that form in the skin, primarily on the face and neck result from a gradual decrease in the skin’s collagen levels. With age, the skin loses its elasticity.

Wrinkles may also form prematurely, as a result of poor diet, stress and sudden loss of weight. Good to know that there are natural remedies to prevent and get rid of wrinkles.


Soy

Soy improves appearance of skin in more ways than one. When applied to the skin or taken as supplement, it protects against the sun’s damage, heals some of its damage and improves skin structure and firmness. Soy also evens out skin tone.

Milk and honey

Milk and honey is an age-old, anti-wrinkle cleanser. Modern science supports the efficacy of this remedy. Milk is rich in lactic acid which deep cleanses the pores, removes debris from the skin and stimulates secretion of collagen. Honey is rich in humectants which promote the absorption and retention of moisture into the skin, helping to keep the skin hydrated and increases its elasticity. Mix one tablespoon of honey with half a tablespoon of raw certified whole milk. Massage the mixture into your skin and leave on for 10 minutes. Rinse it off with lukewarm water.

Lemon juice and sugar

Lemon juice is rich in citric acid, a naturally-occurring, organic acid with strong exfoliating properties that help to get rid of wrinkles. Exfoliating your skin sloughs off dead cells from the outer layer of the skin, revealing soft, supple skin underneath. It is also rich in vitamin C, which is essential in the production of collagen.

Sugar contains glycolic acid, which helps to repair skin damage and to remove dead skin cells. Stir one teaspoon of sugar into two tablespoons of lemon juice, mixing thoroughly. Gently massage the solution into your skin using your fingertips, taking care to avoid your eye area. After 10 minutes, rinse it off with cool water.

Egg white mask

Egg white is a temporary but popular remedy for getting rid of wrinkles naturally. Egg white has astringent properties that temporarily tightens pores and firms the skin, helping to diminish the appearance of wrinkles. To use this remedy, separate the egg whites from two organic eggs and whip until peaks form. Apply to the face, leaving on for about 20 minutes. Wash off with cool water.

Lemon balm

Lemon balm is a natural astringent that helps to keep skin taut and firm. Make a lemon balm rinse by steeping a handful of lemon balm in two cups of boiling water. Let it cool and then use it as a facial rinse each morning.

Vitamins

Vitamins are a simple but effective natural anti-wrinkle remedy that not only helps to get rid of wrinkles, but also promotes healthy, younger-looking skin tone. B-complex vitamins, in particular, have potent antioxidant properties and can be obtained from beef, eggs and whole wheat. Vitamins A, C and E are also natural antioxidants for the skin, and they can be obtained from green leafy vegetables and fresh fruit.
