Anti-aging creams and serums can cost a fortune. Even if these treatments claim to be natural, they are still loaded with chemicals and preservatives. The best way to treat the signs of fine lines and wrinkles is with pure ingredients straight from Mother Nature.
The Skin Vitamin
Vitamin E is commonly referred to as the "skin vitamin." Known as a skin cell regenerator, it will encourage new cell growth to diminish fine lines and deep wrinkles.
Use pure vitamin E oil directly on problem areas before bed to allow the oil to plump skin overnight. This is also a great treatment for age spots and scars.
Vitamin E oil can be purchased at any drug store or grocery store in the pharmacy section.
Gradual Peel
The power of citrus fruit as a facial peel is priceless for aging skin. The citric acid and Vitamin C work to keep skin fresh and free from fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C is a natural antioxidant that protects the skin from sun damage as well as boosts collagen production.
Remember after squeezing a lemon in iced tea or having a grapefruit or orange for breakfast, save a slice to slide over the face for younger looking skin.
Any citrus fruit will work. Read up on all of the citrus fruit options. Apply the fruit to the face two to three times a week to prevent and treat aging skin.
Diet
Eat a colorful diet of dark leafy greens and deep purple, red and orange fruits and vegetables. These are loaded with important antioxidants that fight free radicals and prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
Cherie Calbom, author of the book Juicing for Life, suggests adding the herbs lavender and thyme to as many dishes as possible. According to history, these herbs were used to slow the aging process.
What to Avoid
Stay away from smoking and limit sun exposure. These are the two most common enemies of aging skin.
Steer clear of refined foods and sugars. These treats may taste great, but they are not just linked to weight problems anymore. Refined products cause wrinkles and aging on top of weight gain.
Incorporating these anti-aging techniques and habits into a daily routine will make a noted difference in the appearance and formation of fine lines and wrinkles. Natural is always best when treating and preventing fine lines and wrinkles. It saves money in the process, and most of the ingredients can be found in cabinets and the refrigerator or the nearest neighborhood grocery store.
