Luxurious Homemade Wrinkle Cream – Natural And Effective

Anti-wrinkle creams must be one of the oldest kinds of beauty products, yet new ‘secret’ formulas are on the market nearly every day. These products make claims and contain wondrous ingredients, but often come with a large price tag.

Rather than whipping out your credit card for costly creams and potions, wouldn’t you rather make a luxurious homemade treatment yourself?

Making your own creams and lotions at home is easier than you think and way more economical in the long run. With just a small investment in a few quality ingredients, you can create an effective, all-natural anti-wrinkle cream that will leave you with fresh, young looking skin without the big price tag.

While the manufacturers of the fancy wrinkle creams want you to believe that they alone have the fountain-of-youth-in-a-jar, there are many ingredients available at your local health food store that will keep your skin smooth and supple. Gather the ingredients below to make your own anti-wrinkle cream at home.

Plump It Up

A combination of quality oils is important for a thick, but not too sticky wrinkle cream. Choose cold pressed, organic oils when possible and don’t skimp on quality. This is going on your face, after all, and a little goes a long way with these oils.

* Jojoba Oil – prized for its ability to easily penetrate and protect the skin; it is a natural anti-oxidant and offers mild sun protection

* Apricot-kernel Oil – contains vitamins and minerals that are especially beneficial to aging skin and is soothing for sensitive, inflamed skin. It protects skin, keeping it supple and wrinkle-free

* Rosehip Seed Oil – provides essential fatty acids and powerful antioxidants that promote tissue regeneration

Soak It In

Adding a few key ingredients that not only smooth skin but help trap moisture in the skin cells is an important component of any wrinkle cream. The healing power of roses combined with the natural moisturizing qualities of glycerin is then bound together with the oils by the beeswax, creating a rich and nourishing cream.

* Rosewater – contains anti-oxidants that can reduce fine lines and repair skin tissue

* Glycerin – naturally replaces lost moisture and helps to maintain youthful elasticity

* Beeswax – acts as an emulsifier, providing a creamy consistency and binding the other ingredients together. It seals in beneficial moisture and prevents it from evaporating off the surface of the skin.
