the formation of new ones

Empty the contents of 3 Vitamin E capsules into a small bowl. Add to this 2 tsps

using a cotton ball. Leave it on for 10 minutes and rinse.


A mixture of 1/4 cup comfrey infusion, 1/4 cup witch hazel and 10 drops of
patchouli essential oil is effective in treating wrinkles. This can be stored in a
clean bottle and applied on affected areas with a cotton ball.

slow skin ageing.


Cut a green Thompson seedless grape in half and gently crush it on your face on
the wrinkles. Leave it for 20 minutes and rinse with warm water and let it dry in
natural air.

Balanced diet


The role of a balanced diet for a healthy, youthful looking skin cannot be
undermined. A diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains paves the
way for a wrinkle-free skin.


Flax seed oil is an excellent wrinkle cure agent. Take a tablespoon of flax seed
oil 4 times a day. This may cause diarrhea, so make sure your body is used to
taking flax seed oil.
