Home Remedies For Aging
Skin aging is a state that threatens each one of us. Everybody wants to feel young and exuberant always. This article will discuss the top five causes of skin aging and their remedies. We all want to live to a ripe old age without looking a day over twenty-nine! Unfortunately, aging is a fact of life that occurs as the body’s ability to function declines. The process of aging—marked by wrinkles, aching joints, fatigue, and loss or graying of hair—is accelerated by a poor diet, lack of exercise, excessive exposure to sunlight’s ultraviolet rays, and lifestyle choices including smoking and drug use. These and other factors increase free-radical activity. Free radicals are highly unstable molecules that damage the cells’ DNA and interfere with the cells’ ability to function. A number of herbs function as antioxidants, which effectively eliminate free radicals. These herbs include
Ginkgo biloba, ginger, parsley, and milk thistle. Other herbs contain flavonoids, naturally occurring compounds that can improve the strength of your body’s capillaries (tiny blood vessels), and therefore your circulation (something that is often impaired as we age). These herbs include berries, cherries, black currants, elderberries, horsetail, and milk thistle.
Natural Anti-Aging Remedies
The skin has a natural tendency to age and lose its glow. One cannot avoid this fact. However, you can follow some of the natural anti-aging remedies to slow skin aging. Otherwise, opting for anti-aging creams and lotions costs you a bomb, and still you fail to get the desired results. We will let you know about the top five natural anti-aging remedies that will help you keep your skin fresh and smooth as you have always wanted to.
Cleanse away dead skin
The foremost step to keep your skin glowing and healthy is the removal of dead cells from the surface. Cleansing agents like milk and honey have always been known for removing dead skin cells, harsh makeup, and other surface dirt particles. A blend containing equal amounts of milk, honey, and a mild liquid soap if applied as a cleanser twice a day helps in keeping skin fresh and glowing.
Protection from large pores
One big sign of skin aging is the formation of stretched and large pores that can easily clog dirt and impurities. Applying a blend of lemon juice and yeast helps keep the pores small and cleans the impurities that make pores large.
Apply a nourishing mask
One of the common reasons for aging skin can be the scarcity of nutrients and dryness. Applying vitamins and natural oils to the skin can be very helpful in such a situation. Bananas, which contain high contents of Vitamin A, and avocados, which contain an abundance of Vitamin A as well as Vitamin B and proteins, when combined make a mask that restores natural oil in the skin to ensure the prevention of dry skin and other aging effects.
Moisturizing the skin
The use of a good moisturizing agent after the cleansing of the skin helps in keeping it youthful and glowing. Olive oil and Vitamin E oil are the most useful moisturizers wherein olive oil is considered the original beauty ingredient and Vitamin E oil help cure skin ailments like sun damage, wrinkles, lines, and scars. A solution of both olive oil and Vitamin E act as a perfect moisturizer and heals age spots and makes the skin smooth by regular use. The quantity of the solution applied depends from person to person, from skin type to skin type, and the climatic conditions.
The cellulite secret
Not many people are aware of the fact that the cellulite creams that melt away dimples contain caffeine in large quantities. Caffeine is the beauty industry’s best-kept secret. Hence, you should try your coffee secret first before opting for the high rocket costed cellulite creams. The procedure for this coffee effect is to take the warm coffee grounds from the morning pot and rub the moist grounds vigorously on cellulite and then rinse it off with water. Cellulite will disappear in a few days if you do this regularly once a day.
