“Life begins at 40”, as they say. Apparently, so do frown lines and furrows.
This is one of those many dilemmas every woman (and even men) needs to deal with when they reach a certain age or even worse, having to let the old crow’s feet land on you... Premature wrinkle, that is.
With all those new age “fountain of youth” in the form cosmetic breakthroughs such as botox, radio frequency, and fractional CO2 laser, as well as those fortified anti-aging creams and promising medications, it seems like stopping skin-aging is conveniently closer to reach.
However, the sophistication of these anti-aging solutions doesn’t come in cheap price – which makes even much harder for us, women to avail and undergo such procedures and products. Luckily, there’s still hope, thanks to Mother Nature!
Here are 9 natural remedies against anti-aging.
Water Therapy – The universal remedy for everything. What can we say; almost all living organisms consist mostly of water… which means hydration plays a big role in keeping our overall well-being up and running – skin included. Skin hydration improves the tone and moisture level of your skin, giving you lighter and more radiant look.

Citrus Fruits – Orange and lemon are just some of the fruits that are rich in Vitamin C. This particular vitamin helps combat collagen degeneration. Aside from this, ascorbic acid also helps in erasing off dark spots and other blemishes caused by the sun’s harmful rays, as well as maintaining its immune system, giving you and your skin resiliency against skin diseases.

These electrolytes are responsible for keeping your skin hydrated and moisturized.
