Homemade Wrinkle Smoother

Wrinkles are creases or folds that appear on your skin. They are caused by over-exposure to the sun and the natural aging process. Wrinkles can affect anyone and make you appear old, especially if there are too many of them, especially on your face. Anti-wrinkle creams and Botox injections are common treatment options for wrinkles. However, you can make your own natural wrinkle remedy that is inexpensive and safe to use.

Step 1

Squeeze two fresh lemons or limes into a clean bowl, and remove any seeds. Add 2 tbsp. of milk and 3 tbsp. of raw honey. Avoid using honey with sugar, because this can irritate your skin. Break four vitamin E softgel capsules into the mixture. Squeeze out every drop into the bowl. Stir until the mixture turns into a paste. Set the mixture aside or put it in the fridge.

Step 2

Soften and prepare your skin by taking a hot shower for 20 to 30 minutes. Use a moisturizing soap to help moisturize your skin. Avoid using harsh glycerin soaps or antibacterial soaps when doing this natural treatment; these soaps can dry out your skin.

Step 3

Apply the paste with your fingers and massage into the affected areas for 10 minutes. Let the mixture dry and leave it on overnight. Rinse it off in the morning. Doing this every day for three or four months will help smooth out the wrinkles in your skin. Store any leftover mixture in the fridge for future use.

Tips and Warnings

  • Drink at least eight glasses of water a day to help keep the wrinkles from forming.
