Facial wrinkles: grandma's remedies
Symbol of wisdom and the passage of time, wrinkles have always been an inestetism that we try to fight in every way.
"Even though wrinkles are a natural and physiological sign, they certainly also represent a problem for our self-esteem, as they make us confront the passing of time."
But is there a way to counter them?
Aesthetic medicine has indeed made great strides in this field, offering more and more minimally invasive solutions for rejuvenation, which, however, are not always affordable.
Fortunately, against the signs of time, in addition to using the right active ingredients found in the most professional creams, there are also excellent natural remedies, very economical and quite effective.
Against wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, the first to appear as a consequence of our facial expressions, there are simple and natural methods that can slow down skin aging.
Facial wrinkles, remedy 1: Lifestyle
The first remedy by far is also the most effective: a healthy lifestyle.
Having healthy habits in everyday life, in fact, brings benefits that are often underestimated when it comes to skin.
If we do not drink enough to hydrate the skin, and do not take care of our diet with foods rich in fruits, vegetables, and fiber, and moreover, we also have the habit of smoking or drinking alcohol, there is no anti-wrinkle cream that can help, no matter how expensive it may be.
Good hydration, in fact, is essential for maintaining the elasticity of the skin over time, just as the intake of the right amounts of nutrients from the food we eat will ensure greater well-being for our body and our skin.
Here is a product that can help you keep your skin hydrated and youthful for a long time:
Facial wrinkles, remedy 2: Egg whites
An excellent natural remedy, at almost no cost, taken from the most classic "grandmother's remedies," is egg whites, which are rich in proteins, minerals, and vitamins. Ideal for a toning and rejuvenating effect, especially for the periocular area and the forehead.
Just brush a little egg white where we see the classic expression wrinkles and wait a few minutes after drying, before washing it away.
Before applying any mask, always make sure your face is cleansed and hydrated.
Facial wrinkles, remedy 3: Extra virgin olive oil
Our grandmothers, who did not know the power of argan oil or rosehip oil, which are widely used today to nourish and smooth the skin, relied on extra virgin olive oil, a very natural anti-aging product that was easily found at home.
Emollient, antioxidant, and nourishing, it was often used against chapping and dryness caused by sun and cold. A pleasant "side effect" of olive oil was that the skin became more elastic, softened, and even firmed.
"In the end, even the iconic Sophia Loren has never hidden that the beauty of her skin has been aided by massages in critical areas with a few drops of extra virgin olive oil morning and evening."
Facial wrinkles, remedy 4: Yogurt, brewer's yeast, and apple
Two perfect ingredients to create an ideal anti-wrinkle mask.
In a half glass of organic white yogurt, pour one tablespoon of powdered brewer's yeast and one of fresh apple juice. Mix everything for a moment and when you obtain a homogeneous mixture, you will have your perfect DIY mask against mature, tired, dull, and wrinkled skin. Thanks to the properties of yogurt, vitamin B, and ribonucleic acid from the brewer's yeast, and the enzymes present in the apple, this mask provides a considerable vital contribution to the epidermis.
Don't forget to exfoliate at least once a week to remove dead skin cells and achieve smooth, polished skin.
