Homemade Wrinkle Cream Recipe

Now that I'm in my 30s, fine lines are starting to creep up on my face.  Fine lines and wrinkles can add years to your face, so it's best to treat them as soon as possible.  In fact, I've been preventing them since I was a teenager.  I use moisturizer with an SPF of 15 every day, even in the winter or when I'm staying inside.  I also keep my face moisturized and use a homemade wrinkle cream recipe as needed.


What Causes Wrinkles and Fine Lines?

As we age, our skin naturally loses elasticity.  We produce less collogen and elastin, which eventually causes wrinkles.  There's nothing you can do to completely get rid of wrinkles, but you can help reduce their appearance and slow down their natural progression.

Homemade Wrinkle Cream Recipe

This recipe has a lot of ingredients, but they are all carefully selected for their anti-aging and skin benefits.  The oils are full of the essential vitamins that your skin needs to stay healthy.  To use, dab on problem areas like around the eyes but avoid getting the product in your eyes.  If you have oily skin, use more rose water as directed below.
