The single most effective treatment for aging skin is the
protection from the sun. Once damage
occurs, one of the best methods for eliminating small wrinkles is exfoliation—removal
of the top layer of skin. Two most
common exfoliation methods are scrubs and Fruit acid peels.
Scrubs
Scrubbing the facial skin with mildly abrasive materials
that contains salicylic acid (the main ingredient in aspirin) is effective for
treating wrinkles. The scrubbing should
be perpendicular to the wrinkle. Scrubbing
mechanically removes the outer layer of dead skin cells and is particularly
effective against fine wrinkles that form around the mouth and eyes.
For the wrinkles around mouth that tend to radiate vertically
from the mouth, scrub along the contour of the mouth. Similarly for the wrinkles around eyes, scrub
around the contour of the eyes. Please
refer to my past post for correct message methods. Also,
in my past most, I have provides recipes of aspirin mask. Use those on the regularly based will help
delay skin aging process.
Fruit acid peels
Alpha-hydroxy acids are naturally found in common fruits. For example, apples and pears are rich in
malic acid; oranges and lemons are rich in citric acid; grapes are rich in
tartaric acids; sugar cane is rich of glycolic acid; and sour milk is rich in
lactic acid. Among the acids, lactic
acids and glycolic acids are believe to provide the best anti-wrinkle
results.
Fruit acids facilitate the shredding of surface cells by
softening the glue that holds them together, thus giving aging skin a more
youthful glow. They are also believed to
stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in the inner layer. Research has suggested that topical application
of these acids can cause fine wrinkles to disappear within 2 to 6 months and
erase deeper wrinkles within a year.
In my past posts, I have provides some recipes for fruit
acid based facial masks. Use those as
inspiration and you can create your own skincare recipes using fruits and sour
milk in your kitchen.
Thanks for reading.
