Wrinkles usually form due to a loss of flexibility and moisture in our skin, which typically happen as we age. This happens when elastin and collagen, which are important proteins in our skin, start to decrease. Wrinkles commonly appear on the face and hands.
While it’s common to link wrinkles to aging, many other factors can cause wrinkles. Things like too much sun exposure, smoking, drug use, pollution, stress, and lack of certain vitamins can all speed up the wrinkle-forming process. The good news is that there are many effective treatments for wrinkles available today.
Let me share some easy and natural remedies that you can make at home. They’re not only effective but also have no side effects.
Here’s a simple recipe: Empty the contents of three vitamin E capsules into a bowl and mix them with two tablespoons of yogurt, half a tablespoon of honey and some lemon juice. Once it’s all mixed, you can use a cotton ball to apply the mixture on your face. Let it sit for 10 minutes before gently washing it off.
Here’s another one: Mix a quarter cup of comfrey infusion and witch hazel with 10 drops of patchouli oil. Store this solution in a bottle and apply it on your wrinkles every night with a cotton ball.
You can also use coconut oil. Apply it on the affected areas of your skin just before you go to bed.
Another simple home-made treatment involves turmeric and sugarcane juice. Mix the two until you get a paste, then apply it on your face until it dries up. Rinse it off afterwards.
Green grapes can also be used. Just cut a seedless green grape in half and rub it on your wrinkles. Leave it for 20 minutes and then rinse with warm water.
Pineapple and apple juices can also be great for reducing wrinkles. Apply the juice mix on your face for about 15 minutes each day.
Lemon juice is another common remedy for wrinkles. Just be sure to use it regularly for it to be effective.
A mixture of two cups of water and a half cup of rosemary leaves can also be helpful. Boil the mixture for 30 minutes, then add half a mug of brandy. After boiling it for another 15 minutes, let it cool down and then store it in a bottle. Use it to clean your face twice a day.
Ginger and honey, when grated and mixed together, can also help remove wrinkles and give your face a glow.
If you have wrinkles around your eyes, here’s an interesting trick: Put a metal spoon in the refrigerator overnight. The next morning, press the back of the spoon against your eyes. This can help reduce both wrinkles and dark circles around your eyes.
Lastly, you can try a mixture of two tablespoons of vodka and honey, and one tablespoon of fennel seeds. Let it sit for three days to form a toner which can be effective for treating wrinkles.
I hope these natural home remedies help you in your fight against wrinkles! Remember, a little effort can go a long way in maintaining a healthy, youthful-looking skin.
