But what if it was a lot simpler than that? What if we could turn back the clock, using nothing more than what Mother Nature has supplied us with?
Natural Anti-Aging Secrets for Eternal Youth
The first secret is that what you put in your body will affect what you look like (you are what you eat) so make sure you make good choices. The best treatment for face wrinkles involves keeping a healthy diet that focuses on whole foods will not only help you feel young, but look young as well. Avoid things like processed foods, don’t smoke, and if you have to at all, consume alcohol in moderation.
But what else can we do? Like we previously mentioned, there are a lot of products out there that people are using in the hopes of trying to reduce the look of aging. Thankfully, there are plenty of natural solutions as well that are effective, cost-efficient, and have ingredients you can feel good about.
Essential Oils For Younger Looking Skin
- Jojoba Oil. Jojoba oil is one of the most hydrating oils out there, but it doesn’t leave your skin feeling oily. It also contains antioxidants that can smooth fine lines and reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the skin [1].
- Pomegranate Seed Oil. Pomegranates in general are known for their health benefits, but the most potent way to get them is through their oil. It’s dark red color comes from bioflavonoids, which act as antioxidants. The oil has a natural SPF and can help protect your skin from sun damage [1].
- Frankincense Oil. Frankincense is a powerful astringent, meaning it helps protect cell walls. It can be applied on the skin to help even skin tone, reduce the appearance of sun and age spots, and reduce wrinkles. It can also be used to tighten the skin in areas where it has gotten saggy over time [1].
- Lavender Oil. One of the most dangerous risk factors for disease are free radicals, and they can have devastating results on your skin. According to research, lavender oil can help our bodies produce 3 of the most potent antioxidants that fight free radicals [2]. Try mixing lavender oil with jojoba or coconut oil and apply it to your skin to reduce the look of age spots [1].
