How to Treat Wrinkles Naturally at Home

The natural aging process causes everyone to develop wrinkles, especially on parts of our body that are exposed to the sun, like the face, neck, hands, and forearms. For most, wrinkles develop between the ages of 40 and 50 as the skin loses moisture and thickness.

Natural remedies for wrinkles
Aloe vera
Aloe vera has numerous healing properties. A 2008 study suggests that taking a daily gel aloe supplement significantly reduced the appearance of wrinkles in just 90 days.

Banana mask
Bananas contain natural oils and vitamins that can boost skin health. Experts recommend applying banana paste to the skin.

Superfoods
Foods rich in health-benefitting nutrients are often referred to as “superfoods.” There are many superfoods that appear to prevent wrinkles and boost overall health. They may help reduce the appearance of wrinkles: artichokes, avocadoes, chia seeds, cinnamon, egg whites, ginger, oatmeal, salmon, sardines, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, walnuts.

Egg whites
Using cream made with egg membrane can lead to a significant reduction in wrinkle depth and increased production of collagen, which makes skin smoother and stretchy.

Massage
Many people turn to massage to prevent and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Researchers have found that use of a handheld facial massage device can help prevent wrinkles by increasing proteins that keep the skin smooth.

Olive oil
Research suggests that consuming olive oil may protect the skin from developing more wrinkles. Olive oil and its byproducts, like the stems and leaves, contain compounds that can increase the skin’s collagen levels.

Topical vitamin C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant that helps create collagen in the skin. It can be found naturally in many fruits and vegetables, such as rosehips, chili peppers, guava, and kale.
Applying a topical gel containing vitamin C can help improve the appearance of wrinkles and other signs of sun damage on the skin.

Minerals
Like vitamins, minerals are micronutrients found in the foods you eat that your body needs in small amounts. In the skin, minerals help filter sunlight, promote healing, and prevent damage. Zinc and selenium are two minerals that are especially important for skin health.

Medical treatment
If you’re concerned with the appearance of your skin, you may want to visit a doctor that specializes in conditions of the skin (dermatologist) for further treatment.

While wrinkle treatments can improve the skin’s appearance, the best way to avoid wrinkles is to protect your skin from the sun. Limit the time you spend outside when it’s sunny out, wear protective clothing like a hat and long sleeves, and apply a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 when you’re outside.
