Five Little Wrinkle Remedies

My Aunt Emma Ellison lived to be over 90 and had no wrinkles on her face. Now, of course, the reason for that was predominately due to having blessed genes. Some women are not as fortunate, but there are remedies to diminish wrinkles. While there are very expensive creams, oils, serums, pills and procedures, some of the best remedies can be found right in one's own kitchen.



Green Thompson seedless grapes have been known to help reverse the signs of aging. You can apply the power of their natural nutrient by cutting a grape in half and crush it evenly over trouble spots. Let the juices soak in for about 15 minutes, and then wash your face with warm water. Instead of using a towel, let you face dry naturally. You should notice the benefits immediately.

Cold tea bags applied to the eyes is a great way to diminish crow's feet and fine lines in this area of the face. Simply soak the bags in ice cold water and then rest them on your close eye lids. The healing properties of tea and the caffeine will actually reduce puffiness and fine lines.

Another method of fighting wrinkles is to supplement your current diet. By adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet you will provide your body with the antioxidants and vitamins need to maintain healthy skin. Vitamin C is an essential element for producing skin collagen, and utilizing natural sources of it will increase absorption.

Castor oil has been recommended for ages as a proven skin moisturizer. It is particularly effective for the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes. You can find Castor oil in your grocery store, but make sure you purchase the unscented version. Apply a drop to your index finger and gently rub into the affected area before bedtime.

Lemon juice is recommended for reducing age spots and blemishes that often accompany wrinkles. Use a soft cloth to dab the targeted area with lemon juice a couple times a day. This is not an overnight cure, but the effects will compound over time and slowly reduce the appearance of the age spots.
