ANTI-WRINKLE CURES START AT HOME!

Here are some tips and home remedies to get you started on the path to an anti-wrinkle plan and make your skin look youthful and healthy again.

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #1 - Avoid the Sun

The first place to start is to stay out of the sun. Sun tanning damages and ages your skin and it also leads to cancer more and more since the ozone is wearing away from pollution.

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #2 - Facial Massage

Massage increases the blood circulation and causes muscle and tissue tightening. This reduces the fleshiness of the skin and restores a youthful look. You can apply coconut oil on the portions of your skin and face where wrinkles set in and gently massage at bedtime.

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #3 - Vitamin E

Open three capsules of vitamin E and drain into a small bowl. Add 2 teaspoons plain yogurt, ½ teaspoon of honey, and ½ teaspoon of lemon juice. Apply this mixture to your face with a cotton ball and leave on for about 10 minutes and rinse off.

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #4 - Eat Healthy

Incorporate healthy doses of natural antioxidant foods like leafy green vegetables and brightly colored fruit for maximum free radical elimination. Free radicals are the number one cause of collagen breakdown, which is a direct cause of wrinkles.

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #5 - Go Bananas

Try bananas as an anti-wrinkle treatment. Mash ¼ of a banana until it becomes very creamy. Spread all over your face and leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing off with warm water, followed by a dash of cold water. Gently pat dry.

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #6 - Smokers Beware

Smoking robs the complexion of oxygen, decreasing blood circulation to facial skin and resulting in premature lines and winkles. Also, anyone puffing on a cigarette is essentially doing a lot of repetitive facial movements that add even more wrinkles. So kick the habit if you want those wrinkles to disappear. This is the most important anti-wrinkle tip!

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #7 - Get a Humidifier

Air conditioning and heating systems are known to dry out the skin, making the aging process occur more rapidly. Try using a humidifier. This equipment will help to keep air moist and, therefore, keep your skin moist too.

Anti-Wrinkle Tip #8 - Sleep On Your Back

When you sleep on your side or belly with your face on the pillow, wrinkles are formed. People who sleep in this posture usually get a diagonal crease on their forehead running above their eyebrows. Sleeping on your back helps this problem.

In summary, while there are expensive beauty treatments, cosmetics, and products, the most basic anti-wrinkle program starts at home with activities of daily living. A final anti-wrinkle tip is that egg whites produce proteins and amino acids that are very helpful in an anti-aging skin care regimen. Good luck!
