How to Make Your Own Anti-Aging Products

Anti-Aging Skincare

There are many anti-aging skincare products on the market today that claim to diminish wrinkles and signs of aging. Unfortunately, many of these products have toxic chemicals in them that can actually damage skin and cause allergic reactions. You can make your own anti-aging products that have wrinkle smoothing and facial toning properties. These products have the added benefit of being all natural and healthy for the skin.

Things You'll Need

• Jojoba oil
• Baking soda
• Stone ground oats
• Vitamin E oil
• Rose essential oil
• French green clay
• 1 Raw egg
• Mixing bowl
• Whisk

Instructions

1. 

   Create a facial toning egg mask. In a mixing bowl, whip a raw egg with a whisk until it is light and frothy. Apply the egg directly to freshly washed skin with your fingers. Allow the egg to dry completely. Wash the egg from your face using warm to cool water. The egg will tone the skin and shrink the pores.

2. 

   Create a skin-smoothing scrub. Combine 3 tablespoons of baking soda with 1 cup of stone ground oats in a mixing bowl. Add 1/2 cup of hot water and mix well. Apply the scrub to freshly washed skin and massage into the skin using circular motions. Rinse well with warm water. Baking soda has skin healing and clearing properties, and oatmeal nourishes and softens the skin.

3. 

   Create an eye smoother. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of Jojoba oil with 1 tablespoon of Vitamin E oil. Add in 2 drops of Rose essential oil. Stir well. Using your fingers, massage the oil mixture onto the skin around your eyes using small, circular motions. Be very careful not to get the oil into your eyes or on your eye lashes. Jojoba, Vitamin E, and rose essential oils reduce the appearance of wrinkles.

4. 

   Create a nourishing mud mask. Buy French green clay from a health food store or natural foods market. In a mixing bowl, combine 2 tablespoons of clay with a drizzle of water until you get a consistency similar to thin toothpaste. Add in 2 drops of rose essential oil. Apply the mixture to your skin and leave it on until it completely dries. Rinse off with warm water. Rose essential oil nourishes and protects the skin, and French green clay tightens the pores of the skin.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the oils out of the eyes and away from the eyelashes. Use only on the skin surrounding the eyes.
