There is no magic formula to go back in time and fight aging. As the years go by, our skin
naturally changes. Sagging, expression marks, and spots can, and will, appear. But, did
you know that besides being our body's largest organ, skin also reflects our internal well-being?
In another words, the appearance of your skin can indicate if you are healthy or not. You
may not be able to completely escape from skin aging, but did you know that you can
slow down the effects of this process?
Some of the most common signs of aging are the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes,
fine lines around the lips, and age spots on the hands. Besides that, there are reasons
to believe that the deep wrinkles on the forehead can be more than only aesthetic questions.
As we have already seen in the channel, these wrinkles may be associated with a risk of
cardiovascular disease.

what about trying one of these 3 natural alternatives?
Aloe Vera Gel The fresh gel extracted from aloe vera is
recognized as an ingredient with many benefits. Aloe vera gel will improve your skin's viscosity
and elasticity, acting as a moisturizer, restoring skin's humidity, and keeping it soft and flexible.
Write down the ingredients of this aloe vera mask to reduce your wrinkles.
Ingredients 1 tablespoon of aloe vera (15g);
1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil (16g); ¼ cup of brown sugar (50g);
Mix the ingredients and apply it to your face, gently massaging the skin with circular motions.
Let the mask act for 5 minutes, rinse it with cold water and pat your face dry with a towel,
careful to not rub your skin. If you have too many wrinkles, apply this mask 2 times
a week. If not, just once a week.
Frankincense Oil Frankincense oil is being studied by many
people, and according to studies, it is efficient on acne control, wrinkle prevention, and stretchmark
reduction. Besides that, frankincense oil also has astringent, healing, and anti-inflammatory
properties. You can make your own anti-blemish and anti-age serum at home.
Mix six drops of frankincense oil (choose a high quality one!) in 30 ml of almond oil
(or another carrier oil of your taste), and apply it two times a day. Be sure to always
test on a small patch of your skin beforehand, to avoid and identify any possible allergic
reactions.
Coffee A 2013 study, published at Evidence-Based
Complementary and Alternative Medicine, has shown the antioxidant activity of coffee.
The results of this study showed that topical application of coffee extract reduced the
appearance of fine line, wrinkles, and improved pigmentation and general appearance of skin.
It's very simple to make it:
Carefully break an egg, separating the yolk from the whites. Put the egg whites in a bowl
and beat. Add 1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground coffee, and mix until the solution is homogeneous
and foamy. Wash your hands thoroughly, and apply the mask with circular motions all over
the desired area. Leave the mask on your skin for 20 to 30 minutes, until it dries. Remove
it with water.
