Do the lines on your forehead belie how young you are at heart? Wrinkles and sagging skin are an inevitable part of aging. And that happens because collagen and elastin fibers, which are important proteins that give your skin strength and suppleness, start to dwindle with age, leading to those wrinkles you see. While aging is the most obvious cause of skin wrinkling, lifestyle factors and everyday habits – for instance, overexposure to the sun and smoking – can contribute to premature wrinkles and even make them worse.
While you can definitely start using sunscreens and stop smoking, it may not be possible to arrest the skin aging process completely. However, several natural remedies can help ease your wrinkles or even delay skin sagging – and that too without your having to resort to intrusive treatments like botox or fillers. Remember, natural remedies tend to be milder, which means you have to be diligent about application and give it time to work. Don’t bail out too soon! Instead, work these remedies into your daily skin-care regimen.
Apply Buttermilk
Legend has it that Cleopatra bathed in buttermilk to keep her skin smooth. You should give that a shot too! Buttermilk contains lactic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid that can help erase wrinkles and smoothen out your skin. Studies have also found that treating skin with lactic acid increases collagen, the protein that gives skin structure and makes it firm.
