Have you seen that crow’s feet appear slowly at the corner of your eye? Then, at the turn of a photo where you laugh out loud, it became obvious! You have wrinkles and they are seen more and more.
That’s how I realized that my skin was no longer twenty years old. She lost elastin (1) and collagen.
Now you have to find the right anti-aging treatment. In addition, no more anti-wrinkle creams from major brands stuffed with chemicals. We rely on the best natural anti-wrinkles, to compose oneself or to use alone.
1 – Argan oil
It is the most recommended natural vegetable oil to fight wrinkles and hydrate the skin.
“Rich in antioxidants, it prevents the appearance of wrinkles. It quickly penetrates the epidermis. It will regenerate and soothe dry skin. ” (2)
This vegetable oil has been used for thousands of years by oriental women. Argan oil helps fight against aging of the skin and nourishes it in depth.
It is applied morning and evening like any moisturizer.
Combined with green clay, also known for its anti-wrinkle and purifying properties, and a little hot water, you can create an effective anti-aging mask.
2 – egg white
It is also to be used as a mask. Got eggs and olive oil in your cupboard?
Perfect!
It is the easiest anti-wrinkle agent to obtain and the fastest to transform. Separate the white from the yolk, beat it to create a foam, add a teaspoon of olive oil and apply it directly to your face for about twenty minutes.
The properties of egg white help to have toned skin and smooth your skin.
3 – The lawyer
Again, like egg white, this fruit is easy to access and use. Not only is it recommended as part of a balanced diet, but it is also very good for reducing your small wrinkles, cleaning out a good number of toxins and increasing the elasticity of your skin.
“Vitamin B, C, K, […] calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, etc., polyphenol with an antioxidant effect” (3). Avocado is excellent for fighting the aging of your skin.
Crushed to form a homogeneous paste, it is enough to spread it on your face for half an hour, once a week.
4 – olive oil and clay
Always draw from your kitchen cupboard and take olive oil, preferably extra virgin. This oil is full of virtues for health, hair, nails and it is also a natural anti-wrinkle.
Mixed with an egg yolk or lemon, in a localized massage or as a mask, your skin will emerge softer, firmer and radiant.
Mixed with green clay, in addition to olive oil’s natural antioxidants and moisturizers, you exfoliate and purify your skin.
Exfoliation helps stimulate blood circulation and rid your skin of dead skin. So moisturizers like olive oil penetrate your skin better.
5 – Carrots and potatoes
A little puree like baby and your natural anti-wrinkle mask always taken from the cupboard is ready! Add a light touch of baking soda and this mask will bring you all the anti-wrinkle benefits: stimulation of your skin’s collagen and smoothing.
It is the breakdown of collagen (4) that creates wrinkles, the vitamin A in carrot helps your skin to produce this essential element and naturally present in the skin. The potato thanks to its starch helps to standardize it.
Result, your skin is smoothed, plumped and you look good!
6 – coconut oil
Like Argan oil, coconut oil is a sure bet for anti-aging skin. Vitamins A and E contained in coconut oil act directly on fine lines and wrinkles by tightening the skin.
It creates a barrier that protects the skin from microbes and external aggressions. It thus ensures good hydration of the skin. Apply in the evening before going to bed for a massage.
7 – Honey
It has also been used since the dawn of time as a natural cosmetic product. Against wrinkles, for hydration, antioxidant and protective against free radicals, honey fights the effects of time on the skin.
Not all honeys are created equal. So, to ensure you have sufficient antioxidant properties, “Dark honeys are preferred: their antioxidant content is higher than that of light honeys.” (5)
Used alone by rubbing the skin or mixed with milk, lemon, olive oil, egg or oats, it hydrates, softens and tightens pores.
8 – The different anti-aging essential oils
Essential oils also have a big role to play in your daily fight for rejuvenated and glowing skin.
A few drops of it mixed with a few drops of it, added to a little clay, to a vegetable oil or even to a base of neutral moisturizer, you dab or apply in massage.
You create your daily skincare or weekly mask yourself.
Essential oils are great natural anti-aging allies to have in your bathroom cabinet.
Here is a list of essential oils ideal for your anti-aging treatment:
- Ladaniferous cistus (cistus ladaniferus): protects, repairs, fights against the lack of elasticity, erases wrinkles.
- Palmarosa : helps to have better elasticity of the skin, also regenerates cells and its fragrance is very pleasant.
- Lemon : Perfect for erasing age spots, stimulating surface blood circulation and having a radiant complexion. Warning: use only in the evening and do not expose yourself to the sun after application.
- Carrot : anti-aging, healthy glow effect and mixes very well with ylang-ylang essential oil
- Ylang ylang : Often mixed with vegetable oil to hydrate, repair and revitalize dull and dry skin.
9 – The best natural anti-wrinkle in the world
I end this list of natural anti-wrinkles with the one that I like the most. It is the simplest and most natural: the hygiene of life.
We will never repeat enough, we must drink! Lots of water to hydrate you and hydrate your skin, but also green tea which is an excellent antioxidant and anti-aging.
Eat fresh fruits and vegetables, white meats, and fish. Protect your skin every day but even more from the sun.
The sun is one of the first factors in the aging of the skin, so use total protection treatments and put yourself in the shade under a parasol or a hat in addition to your treatment.
Avoid cigarettes at all costs, it destroys cells and acts as an accelerator of skin aging. Alcohol in large quantities and at high frequency damages your skin just as much.
Finally, sleep! Full nights’ sleep helps your skin regenerate and maintain a fresh complexion.
What you must remember,
Natural anti-wrinkles are often found handy in your kitchen cupboards or bathroom.
Natural vegetable oils like Argan oil, olive oil or coconut oil have been used for centuries by many women around the world to maintain and beautify their skin.
Associated with essential oils, they are formidable natural anti-wrinkle treatments.
Do not deprive yourself of it to take care of yourself without breaking the bank. But no treatment will be effective unless you have a healthy lifestyle that helps your skin and your body to withstand the effects of time.
