How to Reduce and Prevent Wrinkles
By Annie B. Bond
Here are some simple tips to keep your skin looking dewy and youthful, including a couple of ultra-simple formulas, dietary hints, and lifestyle tips. Those of us blessed with young skin can help to keep it that way, while those of us with aging skin can reduce wrinkles and have softer, more glowing skin. Here are the great tips for younger skin:
Hydrating aging skin and helping it to retain moisture are the keys to reducing and preventing wrinkles. Nourishing the skin with the proper foods, exfoliating dead skin cells with fruit acids, and getting enough rest are also important.
So here are some simple tips for younger skin:
1. Humidify your home, especially during the winter heating season.
2. Spritz your skin frequently throughout the day with a mineral water spritzer.
3. Aloe vera gel makes a great healing moisturizer. Use it on your face and body as often as possible.
4. Honey is a great humectant: make a mask of honey with the contents of a vitamin E capsule added and smooth on your face. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, then rinse with warm water and pat dry.
5. Moisturizing creams are great for reducing wrinkles. See our Luscious Tropical Moisturizing Cream which contains cocoa butter, a fabulous moisturizer for aging skin.
6. Anti-oxidant-rich foods like carrots, for example, are good to eat–and good to apply to the skin. Try adding carrot juice or other fruit or vegetable juices to your moisturizer.
7. Make simple fruit or vegetable masks to gently slough off dead skin cells. Crushed strawberries, bananas, cucumber, and many other foods make wonderful nourishing and exfoliating masks.
8. Rub Vitamin E or wheat germ oil directly into wrinkles.
9. After a lifetime of exposure to pollutants, we need antioxidant help. Try applying witch hazel to your skin: it is powerful.
10. Make sure you get enough omega-3 oil in your diet. Flax seeds are a great source.
11. Try a simple, all-natural Herbal Face-Lift Formula.
12. Make sure you get enough rest, so that your skin has time to repair itself.

To begin with, this particular company does a great job packaging the product and I noticed their ingredients dont degrade oils and ruin their antioxidant capabilities. I actually store mine in the fridge and wrap in aluminum foil to be safe. Also, the price is the most fair and that amount will last at least a month.
I use it on my face and neck and have seen a SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT in the tighteness of my skin, and less wrinkles on my neck and around my eyes. I hated getting loose skin around my face!!
It definitely healed some recent acne marks and it got rid of the dark circles under my eyes (this is all in the first week of use!) I've had those dark circles since I can remember and not even the best under eye creams have done so much work in such a little amount of time.
And you can feel good about using it because all Made from Earth skincare products are organic and chemical free which are now protected by environmental agencies. You're supporting the environment and the economy :)

Hi,
I started developing pretty bad facial wrinkles after I crossed 35. I was pretty upset about it as I really didn't whink my skin would start degrading in my 30s. I tried altering my diet, took a lot of dark coloured vegetables such as beetroot and tomatoes as these were supposed to be good for wrinkles and also drank plenty of water. It didn't really work though and my Doctor had even suggested that I go for a Debrassion treatment to fade out my wrinkles. I then recently read an article by a lady who claimed that she got rid of her wrinkles using a particular anti-wrinkle product. I tried it and it worked really well. Within 4 weeks my wrinkles had faded out and were barely visible. Really good stuff. You can read more about the lady's article at the link below.
