Making Your Own Homemade Wrinkle Cream

Most of us know about the healing properties of aloe, but naturally caring for your skin goes far beyond this one plant. In fact, more women and more manufacturers are looking to the antioxidants found in nature for ways to smooth lines and wrinkles. If you're looking for a wrinkle cream but are concerned about the long term effects that chemicals can have on your complexion, then you may want to consider a holistic approach to your beauty regimen, and try making your own homemade wrinkle cream. In this article, we'll look at some of the most common ingredients used in natural wrinkle treatments.

Sweet almond oil is a popular skin softener, conditioner and moisturizer. It's commonly used to relieve skin itch, irritation and dryness and is suitable for all skin types. Naturally occurring vitamins A, B1, B2, B6 and E. also nourish the skin and keep it smooth while brightening your complexion. Making your homemade wrinkle cream using sweet almond oil takes a little bit of time but you'll find that the results are well worth it. You'll need 1 tablespoon of an infusion of comfrey leaves or 1 tablespoon of comfrey root extraction, 1 tablespoon of lanolin, 2 teaspoons of sweet almond oil, 2 teaspoons of water and 2 teaspoons of cod liver oil. To make the extraction of comfrey roots, boil a half ounce of the root in 1 coup of water for about 4 minutes and then let it steep for about 5 to 7 minutes in a covered pot. Melt the lanolin and almond oil in a double boiler and then add the water and allow the mixture to cool. Add in the cod liver oil and comfrey and mix all of the ingredients together. Apply the mixture to your skin and allow it to set for about five to ten minutes.  

For a wrinkle cream that is organic and easy to make, take a look at your fruit bowl. Applying the juice of green pineapples and apples to the face daily for 10-15 minutes is an excellent way to smooth fine lines and wrinkles while repairing cracked skin. Banana is wonderful as an anti wrinkle treatment and it smells great. Simply mash 1/4 of a banana until it has a creamy texture and spread it all over face. After about 15-20 minutes, rinse your face with warm water until clean and finish with a splash of cold water to close your pores. You won't believe how soft your skin feels. For a nourishing facial, open up a jar of honey. Start by placing a washcloth soaked in warm water on your face to open your pores. Smooth a layer of honey over your skin and let it sit for up to thirty minutes. Rinse with warm water and finish with cold water to close your pores. Active Manuka Honey from New Zealand is believed to be the best honey for this wrinkle treatment. Studies have shown that Active Manuka Honey encourages cell renewal and helps it produce stronger collagen. Collagen is what gives your skin elasticity. This honey also contains very high levels of antioxidants and enzymes.

Many over-the-counter products are now incorporating natural ingredients into their blends. There are a few ingredients that you should look for. Shea Butter is a natural skin moisturizer that is good for preventing new wrinkles from developing. It's also good for repairing sun damaged skin. Lavender essential oil is believed to work as a detoxifier that cleanses your skin and helps it to regenerate itself. As a bonus, the refreshing fragrance of lavender has a therapeutic, relaxing effect. Tea extracts, like green or black tea, also have antioxidant qualities that neutralize free radicals, which dull the skin.

Many women prefer the refreshing healing properties of fruits and vegetables over the chemical laden, over-the-counter wrinkle treatments. In very little time, you can whip up a homemade wrinkle cream that is completely organic. Love the sweet, summery fragrance of strawberries? Blend a handful of berries with yogurt for an aromatic face mask that's packed with antioxidants. This also works well with papaya. The natural chemicals in the fruit will condition and tone your skin so that you have a healthy, radiant glow.
