How To Look 10 Years Younger

There is huge line of products out there promising to make us look younger. But you know there are so many natural ways to slow the aging process and most of them are very inexpensive. AOL Health did a great post on home remedies for anti-aging. They asked their readers for their own home grown remedies and here are some of their tips:

Stress Less

Stress can cause us to tense our facial muscles which causes wrinkles and can be hard on our entire body. Our bodies are not designed to be in the “fight” mode all the time. Learning how to get rid of those stressful feelings can go along way toward keeping your body young not to mention lower your blood pressure. Many people say meditation is the best way to de-stress but you can also do breathing exercises, take a relaxing bath, listen to soothing music, do yoga, or exercise. Just pick one that works for you and you will feel so much better and look younger too.

Keep Covered

Minimize your exposure to strong sun. You probably know the sun is strongest during 10 am and 2 pm. If you can avoid being out in the sun during those times, it is like taking a magic anti-aging pill. Stay out of tanning booths at all times. You need some sun exposure to get the proper amount of Vitamin D. See our post Safely Avoid Vitamin D deficiencies – Sun Exposure. If you are out in the sun make sure you use sunscreen. You will keep your skin smooth and reduce your chance of getting skin cancer. Also wear a hat. So many people forget to do this. Wearing a wide brimmed hat will keep you cooler and protect the delicate skin on your face. If you color your hair, it will also prevent your color from fading.

Moisturize at Any Price

One AOL Health respondent said “Another friend said this is what works for him: “Slather on moisturizer twice a day. It doesn’t matter how expensive or cheap the moisturizer is, as long as it is slathered on. If you have money for a more expensive one, good, but any will do.” I can speak from personal experience and tell you that does work. My skin is still very soft even though I am older because I have always used moisturizer. I put mine on right after I step out of the shower so the water gets locked in my skin.

Sea salt is really great for your skin and very inexpensive for your pocketbook. Here are some great natural remedies using sea salt from Pamela Allerdice writing in her book Natural Remedies A-Z

For dry cracked skin – First, to soften skin, pour 1 cup of sea salt onto a small area in an empty bathtub. Wet it slightly. Sit on the ege of the tub and work your feet back and forth in the salt mixture. Then with your hands, massage the sea salt into your feet, making sure to get all the dry rough area – sides and tops too. Rinse with cool water and dry briskly with a towel, rubbing off the old dry skin.

Tired feet – Prepare two foot baths, one containing hot water to which 1 cup of sea salt has been added, the other with cold water containing an infusion of rosemary(put a few drops of rosemary essential oil in water or boil water and add fresh rosemary, after five minutes add to cold water footbath). Put feet in the hot water for 5 minutes, then in the cold for 1 minute, back to the hot for 5, back to the cold for 1 minute, and so on. The minerals in the sea salt help to revive and thoroughly clean the skin.

Herb and Sea Salt footbath – Take a large handful of fresh sage, thyme or lavender (you can find fresh thyme and sage at the grocery store in the produce department). You can buy a lavender plant at your local nursery or plant store. Put in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of sea salt; cover with boiling water and allow to cool until tolerable. Soak feet for a least 15 minutes.

Did you know that Apple water is excellent for fever? In her book Natural Remedies, Patricia Allerdyce says “Prepare it by slicing three washed, unpeeled apples. Simmer until they are soft. Strain the apples, add a piece of lemon for flavor and chill before drinking.”

Fresh apple juice can also be used a cosmetic preparation. Fresh apple juice has excellent restorative and tonic properties for the skin:

Two recipes for Apple Facial -

Recipe 1

Peel and core one small apple, process in a blender until you have a liquid, and then put through a sieve. Combine this with 1 tablespoon of whole milk and enough fuller’s earth (Get fuller’s earth at the pharmacy – you may have to ask pharmacist) to thicken (approximately 1 tablespoon) and use as a cleansing mask for dull or scaly skin. Rinse off and tone and moisturize as usual.

Recipe 2

Cook one small apple (peeled and cored) and combine with equal part cream, honey and ground oatmeal to make a rich and nourishing facial mask. Warm up a bit and spread over your face. Leave on for about 15 minutes and rinse with warm water.

Dr. Oz suggests if you want to help prevent new wrinkles and age spots:

Take half a good multi-vitamin twice a day

Take an extra 300 mg of niacin and 500 mg of vitamin C twice a day

Take an extra 400 IU of vitamin E daily

Eat plenty of vegetables, beans, olive oil, walnuts and multi-grain breads because you are less likely to wrinkle than someone who eats mostly red meat, butter and sweets.

Eat avocado, green tea, pomegranate and tomatoes.

Don’t forget to wear sunscreen!!!

Cucumbers are usually cheap and readily available. They have an amazing number of uses for natural cures. According to Pamela Allardice writing in her book Natural Remedies A-Z cucumber’s ability to eliminate water from the body makes it very important for those with heart and kidney problems. It also helps dissolve uric acid accumulations such as kidney and bladder stones. Constipation is helped greatly by cucumber salad. The best cucumbers to use are those fully ripe, when starting to turn yellow.

For skin and cosmetic uses, cucumber juice can be applied to the skin as a toning, refreshing lotion, or blended into a cream; it is excellent as an inclusion in any ointment or lotion used for treating burns, chafing or dry or flaking skin.

Recipe for Cucumber Juice:

Wash the cucumbers thoroughly and then cut them, with the skin on, into small pieces.

Put the pieces in an earthen ware or porcelain dish.

Pour enough hot water over them to cover, put over a low heat and let simmer for half an hour or more. Be careful not to burn them.

Strain the mixture through a colander.

Alternative Recipe for Cucumber Juice:

Cut cucumbers into very small pieces.

Mash them to a pulp (you can put them in the blender or food processor)

Squeeze through cheesecloth or a sieve.

This method gives you the pure fresh juice, or essence of cucumber.

Cucumber juice is appears in many beauty care recipes. Here is one for a cleansing tonic, which is also very useful in treating chapped hands.

Recipe for Cucumber Cleanser with Rosewater

90 ml cucumber juice
90 ml distilled water
45 ml rosewater

Combine all ingredients in a lidded jar and shake well to mix. Rub into skin thoroughly, and then rinse with tepid water.

Recipe for Cucumber Cleanser with Milk:

Peel half a cucumber and blend it in the food processor until you have a smooth liquid, then put this through a sieve.

Combine with 250 ml whole milk and blend well.

This will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

When you are done with beautiful Valentine’s Day flowers, if you received roses you have an opportunity to recycle them into something equally wonderful. Rosewater is a traditional and safe natural cosmetic which can used as a soothing lotion or compress for sore or inflamed skin says Pamela Allerdice in her book Natural Remedies from A – Z.

Refresh your eyes -Wipe diluted rosewater (2 to 1 ratio of purified water to rosewater) over the eyes with a clean cosmetic sponge to refresh and tone.

For compresses, soak a piece of clean lint or cotton in pure rosewater and lay over eyes, throat, cheeks and chine for 10 minutes whilst lying down.

Burned or inflamed skin - Rosewater is a simple and effective treatment for inflamed or burned skin.

Skin Toner – combine rosewater, half and half with witch hazel to make an economical and effective skin toner or all over body splash.

Hand softener - Blend 3 teaspoons cornflour with 125 ml rosewater; heat gently. Add the juice of one lemon and 2 tablespoons glycerine and simmer, stiring, until the mixture is thickened. Pour into a sterilized glass or ceranic jar, cool and cover. Stored in the refrigerator it will keep up to one month.

Recipe for homemade rosewater – You can make your own rosewater by taking a handful of the flowers and place them in boiling water and simmering for 10 to 15 minutes. Strain, then cool before use.

Got this really great tip from Woman’s Day Magazine. You can give yourself a facial while cleansing your skin. Once you get the hang of it – you will want to do it every time you wash your face. According to the article applying uniform strokes when washing your skin helps improve blood circulation and renew elasticity. Ready to begin? Here is how you do it:

Use your ring and middle fingers (these apply the least pressure):

Forehead - Rake your fingertips in upward strokes toward the hairline.

Cheeks - In three separate strokes gently swipe from the sides of your mouth out towards below your ears, then from the sides of your nose out to the middle of your ears and then sweep below the eyes out towards your temples.

Chin and jawline - Massage in circular motion

Most of us tend to think of natural remedies as herbal but here is one from a potato. According to Patricia Allardice of Natural Remedies, “Potatoes are the richest natural source of potassium chloride, and raw potatoes can be very useful in first aid. Use a raw, peeled, grated potato around a sprain of any kind. Hot baked potato pulp can also be used to releive tennis elbow or other joint pain. If you are in a great deal of pain, for instance after having a wisdom tooth out, try a hot potato poultice. Spread slices of boiled, peeled potatoes between pieces of flannel and apply to your cheek, as hot as can be tolerated.”

If you have chapped hands mashed potatoes mixed with a little almond oil and orange flower water (you can sometimes find this in Indian or Middle Eastern food stores) can be very soothing.

Did you know a potato is a simple and effective skin freshner. Chill a slice of raw potato and rub your skin with the chilled slice of potato. It will help close the pores and refine the texture of the skin.

None of us like getting older, and as we age, we are reminded how important it is to take care of our skin. I saw an great article on the Over 50 Website about home remedies for under eye wrinkles, and I intend to make that part of my regular routine. What I really liked about the recipe is that they only tell me to put things on my face that I would also put in my stomach, so I know it is safe.

For a commercial wrinkle reducer, look at products that actually encourage your skin to produce new cells, and that keep your skin hydrated. Look at Revitol Natural Anti Aging Products for a combination of vitamins and other natural ingredients that will nourish your skin and refresh your face.

Revitol Wrinkle Cream can effectively reduce the appearance of wrinkles, firms skin and reduce superficial signs of aging for men and women of all ages. The ingredients in this formula can actually help to stimulate the renewal of skin cells. This micro emulsion formula penetrates the skin and delivers a host of skin agents that hydrate, tone, and reduce facial lines. The ability of our formulas to stimulate collagen and elastin will significantly improve your skin’s smoothness and youthfulness. In addition, this formula also contains a number of other skin agents to form a proprietary formula that is second to none.
