Prevent the signs of aging with natural remedies to prolong skin health

When it comes to our skin, chemical products could be doing more harm than good. Here are some all natural ways to preserve and rejuvenate your skin.

Aloe Vera With many healing properties, applying aloe to the skin will hydrate the skin, reducing the appearance   of wrinkles.

Banana Mask The natural oils and vitamins in bananas will promote skin health. Mash a quarter of a banana, apply the paste to skin and leave on for 15-20 minutes.

Healthy Eating Habits The dutch were studied and found to have fewer wrinkles because of their healthy diet. Here are some foods that will promote skin health:

Artichokes, avocados, chia seeds, cinnamon, egg whites, ginger, miso, oatmeal, salmon, sardines, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and walnuts.

Essential Oils Small amounts of some essential oils like clary sage, pomegranate and ylang ylang have helped improve the appearance of wrinkles but these are highly concentrated and must be combined with a carrier oil like almond or coconut. Consult with a naturopathic specialist for direction.

Facial Massage Massaging the face with various hand held devices is thought to promote increased production of proteins to keep skin smooth. You can also massage your face by firmly pressing your fingers, moving them in a circular motion to achieve similar results.

Diet In studies, an increase in the skin’s collagen levels was found for people who’s diet was rich in olive oil. This resulted in their skin being less prone to wrinkles. The same was true for people with diets that were higher in meat, dairy, butter, lentils, beans, broccoli and tomatoes. Fruits high in Vitamin C and minerals found in oysters, almonds, oatmeal, peas, cheese, sunflower seeds, yogurt, spinach and bananas consumed are also good for skin health when combined with a balanced diet.

Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP)  PRP is an all natural skin treatment that can be completed in about an hour by an expert cosmetic injector to infuse your skin with healthy cells and nutrients including collagen and elastin to prolong skin health.
