5 Best Natural Remedies To Treat Wrinkles And Sagging Skin
If you already have wrinkles, you might feel like you made a mistake in not preventing them in the first place. Even though you might feel frustrated at the signs of aging etched into your skin, there are lots of natural remedies you can make and use at home to give them the boot and bring back the skin of your youth.

Idebenone moisturizer
Many dermatologists recommend idebenone for its antioxidant properties. Antioxidants fight free radicals caused by UV rays and pollutants, which can destroy your skin and bring on pre-aging. It’s certainly not a beautiful picture, but if you’re already noticing fine lines, this ingredient might help.
How to get the benefits
Why waste money on products that contain idebenone and a lot of other chemicals when you can mix it into your favorite moisturizer? It’s easy to find idebenone online in powder or capsules supplements. Powder might work better to mix with your moisturizer, though. Bliss Plan recommends mixing ¼ tsp. of idebenone for every ounce of cream.

Vitamin C face mask
Wrinkles, one of the most visible signs of aging, happen because skin stops forming collagen correctly. That’s the stuff that props your skin up and makes it look young and supple. When it stops working right, it starts to sag and form lines. This is why many treatments for wrinkles center around boosting collagen, which is exactly what vitamin C does. Studies show vitamin C can help reduce signs of aging, but usually, companies charge high prices for their creams. As you might realize, however, vitamin C is a pretty common ingredient in many foods, so it’s easy to make your cream at home.

It’s also found in some essential oils like rosehip and carrot seed oil.
