Wrinkles are caused by thin, sagging skin. They particularly appear on the face, neck, backs of hands, and tops of forearms. There was a time when wrinkles were considered as a sign of aging. But, nowadays, it is no longer a surprise if they start appearing even if you are in your mid-20s. Premature wrinkles can also be caused by too much exposure to sunlight, smoking, use of certain drugs, excessive stress, sudden weight loss, loss of vitamin E, and genetic predisposition.
Here are few easy home remedies that will help reduce wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.
1. Aloe Vera
The aloe vera plant contains malic acid that helps reduce wrinkles by improving the elasticity of your skin.
Simply cut an aloe vera leaf from the plant and extract its gel. Apply the fresh gel onto your skin and leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes. Wash it off with lukewarm water.
2. Bananas
Bananas are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that combat the causes of wrinkles and fine lines. Using this remedy twice per week will rejuvenate your skin and treat wrinkles in a natural manner.
3. Turmeric
Turmeric synergically slows down the loosening of skin. Turmeric possesses healing properties that rejuvenate the skin.
Make a paste of turmeric powder. Apply this and leave it on for 10-12 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water. Use this mask twice a week.
4. Egg White
The egg whites tighten your skin naturally, easing fine lines and laugh lines. This remedy is especially good for people with oily skin as egg white also unclogs pores and absorbs the excess sebum from the skin.
Gently whisk the egg white and apply it on your skin. Allow it to dry completely. Rinse it off with lukewarm water. Use this face mask once or twice a week.
5. Almonds
Almonds are an excellent source of fibre, vitamin E, iron, zinc, calcium, folic acid, and oleic acid, which combined can delay the aging process and treat wrinkles.
Soak some almonds in raw milk overnight. In the morning, remove the skin and grind the almonds into a thick paste. Apply the paste to your skin, and even under your eyes to get rid of dark circles. Leave it on for 15-20 minutes and then wash it off with lukewarm water. Apply this daily to best results.
6. Castor oil
Castor oil enhances the production of elastin and collagen in the skin. As a result of this, the wrinkles and fine lines start to diminish and even disappear over time.
Use a cotton ball to apply castor oil on the affected areas. Do not rinse the oil. Keep it on overnight. Do this every night.
7. Olive Oil
Olive oil is a great massage oil for your skin. It is a good source of antioxidants, like vitamins A and E, which fight skin-damaging free radicals.
Regularly massaging olive oil onto the affected skin area will moisturize, repair and even regenerate skin cells. As the oil penetrates deep into the skin, it provides long-lasting protection and keeps it moisturized.
7. Yogurt and Olive Oil
The lactic acid and other natural enzymes present in yogurt cleanse the pores and shrink them. This exerts a tightening effect on the skin, thus reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Yogurt also diminishes scars and makes your skin smooth.
Mix the olive oil and yogurt. Beat the mixture gently so that the oil is completely blended with the yogurt. Apply this to your face and neck. Leave it on for 20 minutes. Rinse with lukewarm water.
8. Aloe Vera
Aloe vera gel is an enriched source of vitamin E, which is a booster for the skin and works excellently in combination with egg whites. Aloe vera also heals dull skin with its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds.
Make a paste of Aloe vera and egg white and gently massage it on your face. Leave it on for half an hour and wash off. Apply this face pack twice a week.
9. Jojoba Oil
Jojoba oil is quite similar to the natural oil produced by the skin. It gets easily absorbed into the skin and lubricates it. With regular use, fine lines and wrinkles are reduced.
Apply a few drops of jojoba oil on your face. Massage gently. Leave it on for a few hours. Do this every day for wrinkle-free skin.
10. Fenugreek Seeds
Fenugreek seeds are a rich source of vitamin B3 and niacin that helps in recovering the damaged skin cells and promotes the regeneration of new cells and tissues that help in lightening age spots, hyperpigmentation wrinkles, fine lines and crow’s feet that form on the forehead, at the corner of eyes and lips.
Grind a handful of fenugreek seeds to form a thick paste, add 1 tbsp of honey to it, mix well and apply to face and neck. Let it stay for 1 hour and wash off with water.
