1. Stock Up On Tomatoes
If you have issues with an uneven skin tone and skin inflammation, try tomato slices.
Tomatoes are high in water content. As a benefit, the juice in tomatoes helps to moisturize and rejuvenate dull looking skin. The acidic nature of tomatoes demonstrates its high levels of vitamin and potassium.
Both vitamin C and potassium benefit the skin by giving it a natural glow. Not to mention the presence lycopene—an antioxidant that battles free radicals in the body. Ridding the body of these helps slow down the aging process.
Slice up a few tomatoes and layer them like a mask on your face once a week.
2. Oils Are the Perfect Anti-Aging Home Remedies
Oils are not only great to cook with, they’re also excellent remedies for aging skin. Stock up on coconut and olive oil.
Free radicals in the body are one of the primary causes of premature aging. One way to combat the formation of these free radicals is by applying antioxidant-rich products to the skin. Coconut oil is a good start.
Coconut oil holds emollient that moisturizes the skin and prevents wrinkles. Massage a nice amount into clean skin at bedtime.
Olive oil is another healer. This ancient remedy contains vitamins E and A, which protect the skin from sun damage. Give the skin a dose at sunrise and sunset for excellent results.
3. Cucumber
Aging gracefully is as easy as a trip to the produce section. Pick up a few cucumbers on your next run.
Take one cucumber, slice it into thin slivers, then lay them all over your face. Doing so treats the skin to more than a dozen much-needed vitamins and iron.
B vitamins are the skin’s relief from acne, fine lines, spots, and cracking. Cucumbers contain at least six of the eight classes of B vitamins. Relieve your skin of inflammation and redness by giving it a cucumber mask twice a week.
4. Aloe Vera
If you’ve ever had a sunburn, you know how soothing the gel inside the aloe vera plant is. That gel has natural healing qualities for the skin and body.
