Homemade Facial Products for Aging Skin

by Aileen Fitzharris

The skin care industry has recently discovered an interest in natural skin care ingredients. What does that mean? It means that you can now find, purchase, and use products that contain all natural ingredients.

However, some people still believe that the most natural skin products are still those that you can make on your own. Your pantry and refrigerator contain a wealth of products that can help you battle skin problems, from acne to aging skin. If you do decide to use this type of product then you should always keep in mind that most homemade remedies take time to show results, so be patient.

Here is a quick overview of some of the natural skin remedies that you can use to help you deal with skin wrinkles, sagging and dull skin, and age spots. And before using any one of these products, remember to do a patch test to make sure that you are not allergic to them.

How to Rejuvenate your Skin with Citrus

Vitamin C is the quintessential anti-aging ingredient that can help treat damaged skin and stimulate the production of collagen. Fortunately, most traditional facial products contain this vital ingredient.

Here's a recipe that you can whip up from products that you easily find in your kitchen. Take whipping cream and mix it with lemon and orange juice. Apply this mixture to your skin, massage lightly, and rinse off using a damp towel and warm water.

Aloe Vera & Anti-aging Ingredients

Aloe vera is a very popular ingredient in all types of skin care products. When used in anti aging products it helps make the skin firmer and more elastic. This can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, immediately.

To use this plant, simply cut open a stalk and apply the gel directly to your skin. Keep in mind that it can cause slight irritation, but it will pass quickly. If the stinging sensation bothers you, dilute the aloe vera with water or mix it with olive oil before applying it to your skin.

A Face Lift for less than a Dollar

Egg whites are a great way of treating the skin around your eyes because they gently tighten sagging skin and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Simply make sure to be gentle when applying any product to this area of your skin.

This is also a very simple skin care recipe. Simply beat the eggs whites until they are foamy. Once it's done, apply the beaten egg whites to your skin, let it dry thoroughly, and rinse off with warm water. Some people have claimed to added honey or almond flour to the mix.

Milk: A Natural Facial Product for Wrinkles

Milk is a great anti-wrinkle product that can help tighten your skin. Simply apply the milk all over your face and neck, let set a few minutes and then rinse off with warm water.

If you want a natural skin care product but aren't interested in making your own then you should look for natural products such as BIOBALM. This wrinkle cream is a natural skin care cream that contains Helix aspersa muller extract, a natural ingredient that can help soothe and treat aging skin.
