Wrinkle Prevention
May 19, 2009
Wrinkle-free skin is within your reach! It’s possible to look 30 when you’re really well into your 50s if you take proper care of your skin.
As strange as it may sound, fruits can work wonders on the skin as a face mask. Your skin is almost constantly bombarded by harsh elements, dirt and pollution, leaving it yearning for nourishment. Different fruits have different uses. Apples, strawberries, and tomatoes help treat oily skin.
Deep moisturizing can be done with avocadoes and peaches. Applying mashed bananas and honey to your skin can maintain soft skin. Fruit doesn’t just taste great; it helps keep your skin healthy. Try mashing up a piece and applying it to your face the next time you have a snack.
Eggs are two-fold in skin benefits. The egg whites can be used to treat oily skin, toning skin and helping to prevent acne outbreaks. The yolks nourish the skin, delaying wrinkles from forming. Whole-egg mayonnaise can be an easy way to treat your skin. Its rich ingredients of eggs, vinegar and oil, when applied to the skin, help keep your face looking young and fresh.
Don’t miss out on essential oils! Mixing your moisturizer with jasmine, myrrh, lavender, sandalwood, patchouli or ylang-ylang oil can create an incredibly effective wrinkle preventing cream. Always mix oils before applying them, though, so they have the opportunity to work well on your skin.
Massaging your neck and face is very important for skin heath. You can do this while you apply moisturizer, gently rubbing the skin in gentle upward motions, towards your hairline. This will not only let the moisturizer deeply penetrate your skin, but will also increase blood flow to your face, helping your skin maintain its glow.
A firm slap to your skin can generate the same results. Don’t slap too hard, though, or you may bruise your face. You could also try splashing your face with cold water. All of these techniques will bring puffiness in your face. Quick, firm slaps under your chin can help prevent a double chin from forming, too.
Be careful when working on the area under your eyes. Always use best under-eye cream, and only gently tap the skin. Anything else and the skin might stretch, increasing puffiness and causing wrinkles to form prematurely.
