Anti aging treatments

Taking a moment to cleanse your face thoroughly in the evening before sleeping is a simple but very effective way to prevent a build up of make up, dust and grease on the surface of your skin and in the pores. This can help to prevent acne, blocked pores and other skin problems, but at the same time, it can help prevent wrinkles too. So cleanse well and remove all traces of make up before applying your night time moisturizer.

In addition, there are many natural foods that you can either eat to work on your skin from the inside out, or apply direct to your skin. These natural anti aging skin care products will help to nourish your skin and help keep it supple, moisturized and young looking.

Vitamin E

The first thing to consider when you are looking for natural wrinkle remedies is whether you have enough vitamin E in your diet. Vitamin E acts as a shield, protecting the skin cells from attack by free radicals, pollution elements, etc. Vitamin E is found in seeds (especially sunflower seeds), nuts (especially almonds), egg yolk, some fish such as tuna, and other fatty foods including avocados, olives and olive oil.

You can use an online calculator such as the one at Fitday.com to record your daily food intake and check whether you are receiving enough vitamin E and other essential nutrients. If you find it hard to get enough vitamin E in your diet, supplements are available. However, research suggests that vitamin E from the diet gives better protection against serious diseases and the effects of aging than the isolated form of vitamin E found in most supplements.

Egg whites

Egg whites used as a face mask can be a great anti wrinkle remedy. Apply a little to areas of fine lines and creases and you will soon see them smoothing out.

Coconut oil

Coconut oil is one of the best natural moisturizers that you will find. Rub it into your skin daily and you should very soon see a difference in those wrinkles.

Virgin coconut oil is a component of many natural skin care products but you can also buy it from health food stores. It is a solid white fat at temperatures below 75 degrees. Above this temperature it melts to a clear liquid. Coconut oil provides many essential ingredients for skin health as well as assisting the body to metabolize essential vitamin E.

As well as using coconut oil directly on the skin, you can add it to your diet. It can safely be heated so you can use it for frying and baking. However you use it, your skin will thank you for making coconut oil part of your regular anti aging skin care routine.
