When we are younger, we all believe that we will have young, supple skin forever. That’s why it comes as something of a shock when we look in
mirror one day and see appearance of first fine line or wrinkle, which then seems to rapidly spread across face. There are many things that can contribute appearance of wrinkles, lines, blotches and other blemishes. Firstly, of course, it is a natural process for aging skin because as we grow older our skin elasticity gets weaker so it is harder for skin to spring back into place. Other factors can include:• Smoking • Unprotected sun exposure (UV rays) • Stress • Poor facial/skin care
No matter how old we are, we all want to enjoy benefits of healthy skin – that’s why anti aging skincare industry has become a multi-billion dollar one. The good news is that you can use natural skin care combined with a change in lifestyle to improve texture, tone, and feel of your skin, and to reduce lines and wrinkles that can make your skin look aged.
Home remedies and a healthy lifestyle can help you feel and look younger
We’ve all heard of ‘old wives tales’ and many people treat them with severe skepticism. But, as saying goes, there is no smoke without fire, and many of home remedies that are regarded as old wives tales really do have substance to them. You can look young without having to refinance your home by using some of these incredibly simple methods.
Apple Juice You can treat fine lines, fine wrinkles, and cracked skin by applying juice of green apples to your face each day. You should leave juice on for around ten to fifteen minutes each day before rinsing off. This is one of those home remedies that can help you to look younger and add a real zing to your day. The aroma and zest of apples will put a spring in your step while juices get to work on your skin.
Pineapple If you want another fruity way to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, you can use juice or core of a fresh pineapple. Apply juice either by hand or by rubbing core over your face, and leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes. You can enjoy tropical aroma of this home remedy while pineapple juice helps to improve tone and texture of your skin, enabling you to feel fresh and look younger.
Nourishing face mask If you want to enjoy a more luxurious home remedy, you can make up your own face mask. This will leave your skin feeling supple and revitalized, and can help you to look younger by replenishing your skin. You simply combine a couple of tablespoons of natural whole yogurt with a tablespoon of pure liquid honey. You then squeeze in some cucumber juice and give whole mixture a good stir. Chill mixture in fridge for a short while (you don’t want to get it too cold, but refrigerating it for a short while will help to ‘set’ it so that it won’t slide off your face). Apply mixture to your face liberally, lie back, pop a couple of cucumber slices onto your eyes to soothe them, and simple relax for about fifteen minutes.
Afterwards, rinse facemask off your face and pat dry. You can then moisturize your face, and you should be left with smoother, softer, and suppler skin. You can do this once or twice a week to help keep your skin nourished and replenished.
Cucumber If you are having problems with discolored age spots, you may find that cucumber juice is very effective in bleaching out these age spots. Simply combine cucumber juice with water (one tbsp of juice to two tbsp of water), and apply to affected areas twice daily. Dab solution on in morning and at night, and allow to dry on affected area.
Papaya Juice This fruit contains an enzyme that can remove dead surface skin. So, if you have rough skin or blemishes, fresh papaya juice rubbed into skin can remove affected skin and leave you with softer, smoother skin.
