How to Make Wrinkle-Reducing Oil

Wrinkle-reducing cream is a natural, homemade remedy that will help smooth the appearance of fine lines around the face and mouth, and work wonders on crows feet around the eyes. Homemade wrinkle-reducing cream also works quite well on wrinkled, tired hands, as the tea tree, jojoba and raw coconut oil have a calming, soothing effect. Wrinkle-reducing cream will keep for about two months if stored in a cool, dark place between uses. Store unused portions in the refrigerator for slightly longer shelf-life.

Things You'll Need

• 2 tbsp. sweet almond oil
• 1 tbsp. liquid lanolin
• 1 tbsp. tea tree oil
• 1 tbsp. jojoba oil
• 1 tbsp. raw coconut oil
• ½ tsp. vitamin E oil
• Sterilized glass bottle with tight-fitting lid

Instructions

1. Combine the sweet almond oil, liquid lanolin, tea tree oil and jojoba oil in a small saucepan. Warm over low heat for 3-4 minutes.

2. Remove the saucepan from heat and add the coconut oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or disposable stirrer and let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes.

3. Stir in the vitamin E oil. Transfer the wrinkle-reducing oil to a sterilized glass bottle with a tight-fitting top.

4. Use by rubbing a small amount into the skin and leave on overnight without wiping of excess moisture.

Tips & Warnings

• Label the bottle with a waterproof marker on a plastic label, particularly if you intend to use other homemade skin care products.
