Using commonly available materials, you can reduce your chances of getting wrinkles at a young age, or remedy existing wrinkles without spending a fortune on dermatological procedures and expensive skin creams. Although you may need to change parts of your daily skin care regimen, you can fight wrinkles using simple home methods.
Vitamin E Mixture
Empty three vitamin E capsules into a small bowl. Add 2 tbsp. plain yogurt, 1/2 tsp. honey and 1/2 tsp. lemon juice. Mix everything together. Apply the mixture with a cotton pad and leave it on for 10 minutes. Rinse with cool water.
Egg Whites
Egg whites contain protein, which helps to tighten your skin. When you use this remedy, do not use the yolks in the eggs.
Beat two egg whites together and apply this to your face, including your under-eye area. Allow the mixture to stay on for 30 minutes. Wash the egg whites off your face using cool water, and gently pat your face dry.
Water and Vitamin-Rich Foods
Improving your dietary habits and increasing your daily intake of water can go far in helping your skin regain its youthful appearance.
Start taking a B-complex vitamin and eating whole-wheat foods, chicken, beef and eggs. Green, leafy vegetables containing vitamins A, C and E can also have a positive impact on your skin, according to GrandmasHomeRemedies.com.
Hydrate your skin by drinking at least eight 8-oz. cups of water per day.
Vegetable Shortening
Apply a small amount of vegetable shortening to your face. This moisturizes your skin, speeds healing, helps skin maintain its fresh, youthful look and prevents scarring from acne, according to GrandmasHomeRemedies.com.
Pomegranate Oil Extract
Mix a small amount of pomegranate oil extract into your face moisturizer. The extract will add to the effects of the moisturizer, according to HomeRemediesWeb.com.
Treat Your Face Gently
Use cool water and treat your skin gently when you wash your face. Don’t scrub with a rough washcloth, and don’t use harsh soaps or hot water. Instead, use your fingertips, cool water and a gentle facial cleanser, according to HomeRemediesWeb.com.
