Reduce Wrinkles Using Natural Home Remedies
Keeping your complexion healthy and radiant is one of the easiest and smartest things you can do for yourself. And spending a fortune on expensive products these days ,in my opinion, is just plain unnecessary.
There are plenty of things from the garden, plants in your yard, or basic products found at the supermarket that can moisturize, cleanse, and exfoliate your skin to leave you looking younger and glowing.
You can get started on your own natural skin care recipes by just opening up your kitchen cupboard.
So simple, so cost-effective – wow ! You can battle aging skin , wrinkles, eye puffiness, crow’s feet, dry skin and oily skin problems and much more using natural items right from your kitchen. Learn how to make cleaners, masks, facial scrubs, toners, rosacea treatments and much more in just minutes. Get ready for a more beautiful you !
Just to get you started , I’m going to tell you some of the easiest home recipes to try today. There are so many recipes that I can’t share all them with you , but here’s a few of the basics to get you off to a good start.
Potato Cleanser (for dry skin or eczema) Rub your face with a raw slice of potato. Potatoes contain juice with vitamin C that is mild and soothing. The juice thoroughly cleanses and tones your skin. Rinse well and pat dry.
English Tea Astringent ( to cleanse and tone your skin)
Tea is a very powerful antioxidant found in many beauty products. Pick your favorite tea – green, orange, pekoe, jasmine – take ¼ cup boiling water and pour over 2 teabags and allow to steep for at least an hour. Combined the cooled tea with ¼ cup witch hazel and 1 teaspoon lemon juice (lemon juice is optional for oily skin). Stir mixture well and pour into clean bottle. Apply to clean skin with cotton ball or pad.
Simple Banana mask (used for dry skin) Mash and stir a banana in a bowl until it is smooth and creamy. Apply to face for approx. 10 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat skin dry. Discard what you don’t use.
OR you can also make a banana mask by using 2 teaspoon banana, 1 teaspoon milk and 1 teaspoon honey. Apply to face for approx. 10 minutes. Rinse well with warm water and pat skin dry. Milk and honey also smooth the skin.
Vitamin E (for wrinkles) Take the strongest vitamin E tablet you can find and dissolve it in ½ teaspoon boiling water. Let water cool until comfortable to the touch. Add it to a small amount of eye cream – pat gently under the eye and around the mouth. Vitamin E is a topical antioxidant that’s been proven to prevent oxidation of tissue.
For Enlarged pores, try a packet of raw sugar with enough lemon juice to make it spreadable, and rub into nose and chin area where large pores tend to settle. Rinse with warm water. Raw sugar is a natural glycolic acid that loosens dirt and dead skin.

Alpha Hydroxy Natural Skin Care Remedies
ALPHA HYDROXY, BETA HYDROXY And POLYHYDROXY ACID
Skin care products that are on the market today contain Alpha Hydroxy or
Beta Hydroxy Acids and are usually somewhat expensive. They are all the rage since they were launched in the 1980’s.You can achieve the same benefits that are found in these expensive creams using all natural anti-aging skin care from home.
Alpha Hydroxy is primarily derived from fruit and mild products. They work by speeding up the loss of dead skin cells and thinning the stratum corneum (the outer layer of the epidermis). In the process they create a tingling sensation. The key mechanism of AHA’s is setting off a wound-healing response in the lower dermis, which triggers increased collage production and has a visible anti-wrinkle effect.
The combination of fewer wrinkles, smoother skin, and fresher color can produce a remarkable change in your skin, sometimes in only a few days.
Many exfoliating products now contain PHA’s (Polyhydroxy Acid). They have been chemically modified to be gentler. Beta Hydroxy, such as salicylic acid, are cousins of AHA but more oil soluble. They are also stronger, more irritating and not as widely used.
Salicylic Acid is a type of Beta Hydroxy (commonly found in acne treatment creams). It penetrates your pores and gets beneath the sebum and dissolves and exfoliates dead skin cells.
A simple recipe for an effective mask for acne-prone skin is:
Mix honey and aloe vera together. Crush and dissolve an aspirin tablet
and add to honey and aloe vera.
and add to honey and aloe vera.
Apply to skin for approx. 10-20 minutes.
This mask helps to exfoliate the skin, soothes painful pimples and de-plugs any blackheads.
A great recipe for a mask for mature skin is:
1 teaspoon honey
A few drops of orange juice
Mix the two together well. Spread the mixture over entire face, even around the eyes and mouth.
Leave on for approx. 20 minutes. Remove with warm water.
If used regularly, it can stave off those fine lines that appear as we get older.

Reducing Wrinkles using Super Supplements
Here is some basic information on the best anti-aging vitamins
“Free Radicals” are unstable oxygen molecules that attach themselves to the molecules, attacking cell membranes and vital cell components. They can deactivate important enzymes and even damage DNA. The oxidation process that that takes place is believed to be responsible for the breakdown of cells that precedes aging and disease.
Antioxidant vitamins and nutrients work to “sweep up” free radicals and neutralize them. The primary antioxidants are vitamin A in the form of beta carotene, vitamin C and E, and the trace elements selenium and zinc, but there are also a number of other antioxidant nutrients. Let’s review the benefits of these nutrients as they pertain to our skin.
Vitamin E is the main fat-soluble antioxidant used in the body. This means Vitamin E must be taken with foods containing fat in order to be assimilated. Vitamin E has the strongest healing ability of all vitamins. Although vitamin E is crucial to body health, it is not manufactured by the body. To receive the antioxidant effects of vitamin E, you will need to take more than the current RDA (recommended daily allowance). A dosage of 800 to 1200 I.U. a day would suffice. (You can split up the dosage and take at different times during the day). Vitamin E may be applied directly to the skin via lotions and creams, as it is a highly moisturizing oil. Applied on the skin it can protect from UV ray, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and help to delay the progression of aging. Taken either way, it helps heal scarring and wounds. If you have ever used Vitamin E on the skin, you’ll know that it is very thick and heavy. Because of this it is easier to use as a treatment left on the skin for a few hours and then washed off.
Vitamin C is also an antioxidant. It helps LDL cholesterol from being oxidized in to its damaging form. It activates folic acid and prevents the oxidation of other vitamins. Vitamin C helps the body heal itself, resist infection and build and maintain collagen and elastin. Our need for vitamin C increases with age. It strengthens the skin and capillary walls. Fruits such as papaya, strawberries, and cantaloupe are high in vitamin C, as are dark green vegetables, cabbage, potatoes and rose hips.
Vitamin A is one of the two vitamins that can be absorbed by the skin. It is highly beneficial to the hair and nails as well. It helps fight acne and premenstrual skin eruptions. It increases blood flow, stimulates the skin and helps to keep it supple. Vitamin A is the only vitamin that is stored by the body, making it potentially toxic if too much is stored. This is why it is safer to take large doses of beta-carotene. Beta carotene can be safely taken in doses ranging from 5000 to 25,000 I.U. daily.
Zinc is important in health skin and necessary for collegen formation. It aids in assimilation of vitamins A and B and combines with Vitamin A for protein synthesis, which makes healing possible. Good sources of zinc are eggs, fish, peas ,nuts ,beans, grain, sunflower seeds and dairy products. Zinc helps to prevent acne, regulates oil glands and clears skin problems.
Here is a super easy all natural skin care recipe using vitamin E capsules that reduce fine lines and wrinkles under your eyes in a SHORT period of time ( I personally use this and had great success, and I'm a pretty tough critic !)
Purchase the strongest Vitamin E capsules you can find (I'm using 400 I.U.
but 800 to 1200 I.U. is usually recommended)
Dissolve a few capsules in just enough really hot water to form the paste.
When cool, dab a bit (it's very thick & sticky) under your eyes. Add a dab of your
favorite eye creme over it and GENTLY apply to eye area. (Or you can pre-mix the
two before applying to the eyes).
It's so simple and so effective. (and inexpensive)
And just for the fun of it .... I wipe a little bit of it on my dry chapped knuckles on my hands or elbows and see a difference the following day! ( I usually do all this at night - only takes a few minutes).
Hope this information was helpful !

Stress is another contributor.
Sun exposure is also a factor
And of course genetics play into it .
Allergies and hay fever can contribute as well as an Iron deficiency.
Well, there are several natural home remedies you can use.
Here are just a few simple ones I have today to share with you.
Put a used teabag (somewhat dried out) over your eyes for about 10 minutes. The tea can be black tea, green tea or white tea.
Apply cucumber or potato juice on eye with a cotton ball.
Apply a mixture of lemon juice and tomato juice on dark circles 2x per day.
Apply creams that have vitamin E or C in them.
Apply crushed mint leaves under eyes for 20 minutes.
Apply cucumber slices to closed eyes for 15 minutes.
So How do we prevent these dark circle ?
Getting enough sleep will help – try to get at least 7 hours of sleep.
NEVER sleep with your makeup on.
Try not to rub your eyes
Reducing your salt intake will help as well.

How to Get Rid of Age Spots Today
Age spots ,or often called “liver spots” (both sound depressing if you ask me !) OR the clinical term “ solar lentigines” usually start to appear around the ages of 40-50. In this age category myself I have recently started noticing some on my legs, due to previous years of overexposure to the sun. Age spots are marks on the surface of the skin. They can be brown, black or gray, and are usually freckle-size to larger than a centimeter across. They are an area of increased pigmentation, and usually flat and oval shaped.
So what’s the deal with these age spots and what do we do?
Fortunately, age spots are harmless – they are just unpleasant to look at. To rid yourself of them, treatment options can range anywhere from bleaching to dermabrasion to chemical skin peels. Other options include laser treatment or cryotherapy. Problem is, these are all EXPENSIVE and an unpleasant process.
BUT, never fear, there are some things you can do at home to fade out those age spots without breaking the bank. They take some time, so don’t expect results over night.
Below are a few very easy and effective treatments to get you started today.
Castor Oil - apply to age spots two times a day.
Lemon Juice -very effective method – start out with a 50/50 mixture of lemon juice and water. Swab on to age spots and leave on for about 15 minutes. Do this three times a day. You can gradually increase the strength of the lemon juice to a point where you can apply straight lemon juice or a slice of lemon to the age spots directly. Start out with a 50/50 mixture first and see how your skin tolerates it.
Yogurt and honey - mix 1 teaspoon yogurt and 1 teaspoon honey together. Apply to area. Leave on for 30 minutes and rinse off with warm water.
Aloe Vera gel - Apply two times a day. You will gradually see results.

Home Remedies for Sun Burn
Witch Hazel is a beneficial part of natural skin care. Witch Hazel comes for the witch hazel tree, and contains numerous benefits in natural skin care. Witch hazel can be used on insect bites, sunburns other burn as well as cuts and scrapes. It stops the bleeding and help ease the pain.
Witch hazel is a natural astringent which helps to reduce skin irritation and prevent infections. The tannin content in witch hazel has a strong astringent property as well as antioxidant properties. It is gentle and non-drying and great to use on acne-prone skin.
Witch hazel has disinfecting properties, thus reducing bacteria. It reduces irritation on the skin and causes a “numbing” effect when applied. The tannins in witch hazel also tighten pores and swollen veins , and reduce inflammation and dryness.
Witch hazel is also great as a make-up remover.
Witch hazel also soothes psoriasis and eczema.
Looking for an effective topical remedy for acne? Try this simple solution:
Take plain witch hazel straight from the bottle and apply twice a day (no more than that) to acne prone areas with a cotton ball. Never take witch hazel orally !!
GET READY FOR A SUNBURN! Yes, inevitably, sometime over the summer you will get a sunburn to some extent. So here’s a few quick and simple home remedies to help you through it.
Vinegar - Mix equal parts cool water and vinegar in a bowl or basin. Soak towels in mixture. Wring towels and apply these compresses to sunburn areas. Repeat as needed. OR mix 1 cup white vinegar into tub of cool water and soak in tub.

Natural Skin Care Recipes What Does Oil Free Mean
Triglycerides, palmitate, stearates, myristates, stearic acid, plant oils (like jojoba oil), plant waxes, shea butter, Vitamin E, acrylates and many other ingredients can all clog pores. These ingredients are used in moisturizers because they duplicate the natural lipids (sebum/oil) in our skin, which is great, UNLESS you happen to be having problems with the sebum being created in your pores, adding more of the same kind of substance will only make things worse. These ingredients show up in lots of so-called “oil free” products.
Many products claim to be “noncomedogenic” or “nonacnegenic” and maybe you have bought these products only to find out that they caused breakouts. These terms are now being replaced with” hypoallergenic” on cosmetic labels. These are all meaningless terms, just like Oil-Free. The ingredient list is the place to go to find out whether a product may put your skin at risk.

DID YOU KNOW…..
Not everyone NEEDS or should be using MOISTURIZERS, especially woman with oily skin, combination skin, or acne-prone skin. Woman with dry skin only need one moisturizer (not including sunscreen).
Moisturizers are the most misunderstood, misused and abused product. Things tend to get out of control in the cosmetic industry ( fancy bottles, high pricing and all kinds of promises)…and a lot of woman tend to overuse moisturizers, which can cause some surprising skin problems.
Most woman still believe moisturizers prevent wrinkles, and the mistaken notion that dry skin is more prone to wrinkles than oily skin , and is firmly planted in the consumer with a large selection of toning, lifting, and repairing crèmes, gels and lotions.
The only reason to use a moisturizer is if you have dry skin, or wrinkled skin that you want to smooth out ( moisturizers can smooth over, but not changed wrinkles).
If you have oily skin that breaks out, the worst thing to do is moisturize. Pores get clogged and blackheads develop. Dead skin cells get trapped and have a harder time naturally sloughing off (which makes your skin look dull). You are also at a high risk of getting patches of dermatitis, increasing the number of breakouts and creating your own combination skin predicament.
So…How do I know if I need to Moisturize?
As a general rule, if you are using a mild cleanser and no other irritating skin products, and your skin feels dry after about 20-30 minutes after you wash your face, yo9u probably need to moisturize. If you skin feel tight, dehydrated, taut, or uncomfortable from dryness by mid-day or the end of the day, then it is essential to moisturize. If you have fine lines that improve with a moisturizer, especially around the eyes, than go ahead with moisturizing. Bear in mind that it is always best to use the most lightweight moisturizer possible.
The point: If none of these problems are present, than you don’t have to moisturize.
