Cure Wrinkles - Naturally!

People haven't changed much over the years -- folks from hundreds of years ago (just like folks today) wanted attractive skin. There were no local beauty counters to visit, so people relied on natural remedies.

Yes, "natural" -- there are behavioral remedies as well as nutritional aids. There's no reason you can't begin trying these aids now!

You might start by visiting your kitchen -- any eggs or olive oil? This was a common facial mask -- just mix a little bit of olive oil into a beaten egg. Spread this on your face; let it dry. Use a cotton ball and lukewarm water (perhaps mixed with a little baking soda) to gently remove the mask.

Vegatable or fruit peels were also popular. You might take a peach peel and rub the moist inner portion of the peel against your face. Don't scrub -- just rub gently. This not only cleans your face, but also has a tightening efffect. When peaches are no longer in season, try a cucumber peel with a little lime juice instead.

Don't like putting food on your face? Then how about putting food where it belongs -- in your body ... just make sure it's good, nutritious food. Stay hydrated -- drink plenty of water -- and eat a healthy varied diet. Don't run from healthy fats like olive oil, nuts, and avocados. These natural fats are a great natural wrinkle cure.

No secret that stress and fatique cause wrinkle woes -- so work on this! Perhaps there's not much you can do about a stressful lifestyle -- but you can certainly work on getting enough sleep. Count up your hours -- and see if you can't stretch your sleeptime by an hour or two. Most people don't get enough sleep -- and results are bags and circles. Get enough sleep and these problems will disappear.

Would you feel more comfortable applying a product from a bottle? Just because natural cures exist in your kitchen doesn't mean they're not available at the store. Examine the ingredients of your cosmetic care products -- shop for those with natural ingredients.

Sometimes skin care products made with natural ingredients will cost a little more than your normal products -- just ask, "It's my skin -- am I worth it?" and it'll make your decision a little easier!

Instant Wrinkle Remover?

We all want a fast fix in this world -- and we love hearing about magic remedies. So ... is there really such a thing as an instant wrinkle remover?

Fast fix deserves a fast answer -- no, there is no such thing. Sorry -- but, there are things you can do to help reduce wrinkles and lines and help prevent new ones from occurring.

Remember, wrinkles are going to happen; they're a natural part of the aging process. What you can do is help prevent premature wrinkles -- ones that are due to your lifestyle -- from appearing.

Be wary of envivonmental factors -- like excessive exposure to dust and air pollution. This will cause wrinkling over time.

Facial expressions -- like excessive squinting or frowning -- will cause lines around the mouth and forehead.

Keep the quality of your skin high by ensuring proper doses of vitamin E.

Sun damage is a huge factor -- the sun's UV rays will damage your skin. Be sure and use proper sun blocks when going out in the sun.

Don't smoke -- there are loads of reasons not to smoke, but did you realize that free radicals caused by cigarette smoke are harmful to your skin? Smoking is bad for your health -- and your complexion! If you smoke -- quit! If you don't, then don't start!
