Make Your Skin Happy! Easy Homemade Anti-wrincle Masks!

As we get older, we can see the toll of the years on our faces. Our skin can look hungry and tired, and of course, more and more and more wrinkles start showing up. That is normal and even beautiful. When we see a wrinkled face, we can learn a lot about the person. Did they laugh or did they spend most of their time frowning? Some embrace the lines of time on their faces, some try their best to get rid of them. Today, cosmetic procedures and even surgery are also widespread. However, we are not going to talk about that. We are going to go on a journey together.

Every time, we will bring you one natural anti-wrinkle face mask.

More so, we will make, try, and review every single one of them.

We bring you the ultimate guide through the world of natural solutions to natural problems. Let's go on a journey around the world and let's learn how natural masks can really help you reduce the existing wrinkles and do our best to prevent new ones from starting to show. Nature is our ally if we know how to use what it has to give us.

First of all, we will mention that prevention is the best cure when it comes to our skin. This means that you need to nurture your skin properly, and it is not all about defeating wrinkles, we want to make our skin happy!

Here, we are not going to talk about how and why wrinkles actually appear, and what we should have done since we were 15 to have the best chance of looking younger later in life. First, let's accept the fact that the wrinkles might already be here, or they are just around the corner and will start showing any day now. We can also maybe accept the fact that not all of us had the best skincare routine in the past and that we might have used the wrong products.

We will talk about all of that along the way, but now let's give some love to our skin.

Of course, we must mention that prevention is the best cure when it comes to our skin. 

However, the fact is that it is not all about defeating wrinkles, our goal is to make our skin happy!

To do that, we must determine what type of skin do we have, and if you still do not know yet and you just want a bit of self-care, combined with a nice warm bath while you have the mask on?

That is perfectly fine because there are amazing masks that are compatible with all skin types. We will always give you a few options so everyone is included. Every time we will also share with you at least one vegan option. As we know not everyone has a pantry that looks like a small store, we will give you at least a few ingredient options, so you don't have to go and get anything.

Now, let's dive into the world of funny looking little jars and bottles and let's talk about ingredients and our simple, yet effective concoctions.

The first mask/cream is very simple, but it is powerful. It has only two ingredients and it is compatible with all skin types.

Coconut oil and panthenol cream

Apply coconut oil on a clean face, then apply panthenol cream on the face. Leave it to stand overnight, then wash with lukewarm water in the morning. Let's just mention that panthenol is a powerful ingredient that preserves the proper function of healthy skin, restores skin moisture, elasticity and softness. You can apply this mask every night instead of night anti-ageing cream. It is important not to use it during the day because the oil will absorb all the impurities from the air that will enter the pores directly. This is very important if you have oily skin, even if you do not use this mask/cream.

Let me guess, you don't have panthenol at the moment? That is not a problem, let's go to the next simple dose of happiness for our skin. This one is not only homemade but also all-natural. 

Honey anti-wrinkle face mask

This one also has just two amazing and natural ingredients. Honey and lemon juice. But, it comes with a warning! Please, be careful with this one. If you have very sensitive skin prone to irritations, or acne because lemon has a strong effect on the skin and can cause mild inflammation and should never be in contact with damaged skin. In that case, it is better to first apply a little lemon juice behind the ear, and then wait to see if the skin will turn red. If there is no reaction, feel free to use this miracle mask.

There is no need to talk about how great honey is for our body and skin. Just to mention that it is one of the best natural antibiotics and that it works wonders for our body and skin. Mix a teaspoon of natural honey with a little lemon juice and apply the mask on the face, neck and décolleté. Relax and leave on for about 30 minutes, then rinse.

If you have sensitive skin, and no panthenol in your cupboard, that is not a problem, we have another great mask, just right for you!

Take 1 teaspoon honey, 2 teaspoons milk and 1 teaspoon cocoa powder, and mix well. Just add enough cocoa powder to get a thick consistency. Apply evenly on your face and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Finally, wash it off

For the end, we will leave you with a final and the simplest option, just one ingredient, it does sound funny, but it is very effective.

Potato mask against wrinkles

Potatoes restore the skin's natural moisture and elasticity because they contain vitamins C and E, as well as potassium, phosphorus and sulfur, which contribute to reducing inflammation on the skin.

Grate one potato, then apply it to the previously moistened face. Let it work for about 15 minutes, then rinse.

There are simple variations to this one, you can also slice the potato and make a pad shape, to use it under your eyes, just be careful as your eyes are very sensitive.

Next time we will continue our journey, learn about wrinkles, skincare and self-care. Of course, we have so many recipes to talk about. Just to give you a hint, we will talk about the benefits of fruit, rice and more.
