No matter how much BOTOX® or plastic surgery a woman receives, time does not rewind. What inevitably happens is that too much surgery makes a person look worse rather than better. There are ways to slow the aging process by preserving and nourishing skin without the expense or risk of shots and chemicals.
Mother Nature intended to care for a woman’s skin, and many of the most legendary women in history took advantage of these natural ingredients. Think back to Cleopatra’s milk baths, for example. The bottom line is that for personal well-being, it is important to have good skin.
Important ingredient:
Every woman’s bathroom should contain pure Vitamin E oil. This thick and sticky substance needs to be incorporated in a daily routine. Vitamin E aids in the protection of cell membranes, fights free radicals from the environment, and it is the most well known skin vitamin among medical and cosmetic professionals. Used alone, Vitamin E oil works for spot treatments like age spots, scars and stretch marks.
- Tip: Pure Vitamin E oil can be added to drugstore moisturizers and lotions . This aids in skin health, and is more beneficial than products fortified with the vitamin.
Facial scrub:
Exfoliating is one of the most important things a woman can do to prevent dull wrinkled skin. This allows the blood to circulate throughout the face, boosts cell production and regeneration and removes dead skin cells.
Technique
- Take a teaspoon of sugar.
- Combine sugar with enough olive oil to make a grainy paste.
- Exfoliate skin in circulation motions for 2 minutes.
Sugar is cleansing and a wonderful natural exfoliate. Olive oil preserves skins moisture while it purifies.
- Tip: Sugar packets from restaurants and coffee shops are the perfect size.
Facial mask:
To add firmness to sagging skin, before going to the plastic surgeon, go to the kitchen cabinet for a banana and some honey.
Technique
- Mash ¼ of a ripe banana.
- Add enough honey to cover and bind the banana mix.
- Spread over face and leave on for 20 minutes.
Bananas are rich in Vitamin A which is anti-aging and highly moisturizing. Honey is another natural purifier, fades age related facial discoloration and tightens the skin.
These natural recipes not only bring life back to aging skin, they also save money in the process. They should be used a couple of times a week to maintain beautiful glowing skin.
There are several other recipes for making skin care products that nourish the skin and slow the aging clock.
