Natural Wrinkle Remedies
Can Improve Tone & Elasticity

There are many natural wrinkle remedies worth trying. Some are home remedies that you probably have in your kitchen right now (and of course, they are also some incredible specialty formulations.) Here’s a look at a few of them.

Olive Oil

Some women swear that the regular use of olive oil accounts for their youthful appearance. It is applied topically in the same way that you would use a lotion or cream. The benefits could be due to the moisturizing effect. Olive oil is highly compatible with the skin’s own sebum, which means it is well-accepted: absorbed quickly, leaves no greasiness, etc.

Most of the lotions on the market are not actually moisturizing. They contain petrolatum or mineral oil; petroleum-based derivatives. They are not well-accepted by the skin, which is why they make it feel greasy and can cause pimples.

Olive oil is relatively inexpensive. It is easy to use and may be in your pantry right now.

Shea Butter

Shea butter might not be in your pantry. It is expressed from a nut, so it’s safe and natural. Pharmaceutical grades are sold in some countries, because of its anti-inflammatory and other medicinal effects.

Natural Wrinkle Remedies
Can Help Preserve a Youthful Appearance

Trials have shown that the regular use of high grade Shea butter can be an effective natural wrinkle remedy. After three to four weeks, volunteers saw an overall improvement in the health and appearance of their skin. When you try natural wrinkle remedies, be patient and give them at least two months to determine if they've made a difference in your skin.

Wakame Kelp

If you like health foods or Japanese cuisine, you may have some wakame on hand. You may have heard that it is an effective natural remedy for wrinkles. You can use it as a facial mask by masking it into a pulp and then applying it to your face. Studies have shown that while eating it may be good for your health, it doesn't do much to fight wrinkles. It may just be one of those substances that is better taken internally. Wakame kelp is a traditional Asian remedy that has been shown to prevent the loss of hyaluronic acid, one of the causes of aging skin.

Dietary Supplements

Can a dietary supplement work as a wrinkle remedy? There is evidence supporting the use of certain antioxidants for reversing sun damage, which is one of the major causes of wrinkles and other signs of aging.

Astaxanthin is one example. It is a unique antioxidant. The only common food source is pink salmon.

You may have seen one of the popular anti-aging doctors on daytime talk shows. He promotes the idea of eating salmon every day to "de-age" the skin. That can get expensive, especially if you buy it through mail order as he recommends. While salmon is good for you, if it is Atlantic salmon, it could contain high levels of PCBs, which is a cancer-causing chemical.

Astaxanthin supplements are less expensive and may be more effective natural wrinkle remedies. Since you have nothing to lose, but some wrinkles, this is a supplement that is definitely worth a try. Remember to give it at least two months of regular use before you decide if it is working for you. 

One of the best ways to take care of your skin is to keep it clean and fresh and stimulate it with a gentle scrubbing. I've found that the best way to do this is to use a Clarisonic Mia. I've noticed quite a difference in the quality of my skin since I started using it one month ago. Best of all, I look forward to washing my face (I used to only wash it in the shower.) This is a small investment that will make a big difference in the tone, look and feel of your skin.

Although topical solutions can help improve the appearance of skin, the best way non surgical way to transform your skin is to go through a detoxification program that also balances your hormones and provide supplements that make your skin glow from the inside out. The best program that I know of is Rose Cole's 7 Weeks to Super Skin. Rose is a former Ford Agency model and a holistic nutritionist. I went through her program and couldn't believe what a difference it made in my skin, plus I also lost 13 pounds. Seriously, ladies, following this program can take ten years off your face, not to mention what it will do for your sense of energy and well-being. If you really want to improve your skin, this is the way to go.

Finally, always make sure you drink lots of fresh, filtered water. It keeps your skin hydrated and energizes your entire body. If you don't have a drinking water filter system, then consider getting one because if you are still drinking water straight from the tap, you're ingesting a glassful of chemicals.
