Hello everyone!
I am 36 years old and, I know that you cannot get completely rid of wrinkles, fine lines, and other ageing signs without a plastic surgeon. However, you can slow the process down and make your skin look youthful. In this post, I want to share a homemade anti-ageing serum that will help reduce the signs of ageing.
Ingredients:
- 4 tbsp aloe vera gel
- 3 capsules vitamin E
- 2 tbsp rose water
- 5 drops lavender or rosehip essential oil (optional)
- 1 tbsp glycerin
The essential oil is optional because some people with sensitive skin avoid using them on their faces.
Method:
- Place the aloe vera gel in a bowl.
- Add vitamin E capsules.
- Add rose water and mix well.
- Add glycerin and mix again.
- Lastly, add 5 drops of essential oil.
- Store this anti-ageing serum in a clean, airtight container.
Aloe vera works as an anti-ageing agent. It has Beta Carotene, Vitamin C and Vitamin E that keep your skin soft and smooth.
Vitamin E has antioxidants that are good for your skin. It keeps your skin healthy and soft.
Rosewater not only cleans your skin but also hydrates it.
Glycerin moisturises your skin and keeps dryness at bay.
Lavender and rosehip essential oils help in reducing the appearance of ageing.
The best time to use this DIY serum is before you go to bed. Wash your face then, take 2-3 drops of serum and massage it all over your face and neck.
If you want to slow down the ageing process:
- avoiding smoking
- avoiding spending too much time in the sun
- staying hydrated
- eating foods that are rich in antioxidants such as; blueberries, raspberries, apples, broccoli, cabbage, spinach, eggplant, and legumes like red kidney beans or black beans
