Avocado anti-wrinkle mask

Avocado is a very nutritious fruit that has many beneficial properties for fighting wrinkles. It is rich in vitamin D and E, which are excellent for stimulating the formation of collagen in the skin, maintaining its youthful look and natural brightness for longer.

To prepare this homemade mask, mash the pulp of half an avocado with a fork and add a little lemon juice to give it a more creamy texture. Apply the resulting paste on your clean face, leave on for 10 or 15 minutes and remove with warm water.

One of the most effective natural ingredients to combat ageing and reduce wrinkles is honey. It is full of antioxidants and preserves moisture and firmness. The homemade mask combines honey with egg whites, ideal for providing a greater elasticity to the skin.

Cucumber and vitamin E anti-wrinkle mask

Amongst the well known benefits of cucumber for the skin you find its high rejuvenating power, making it great for slowing down the ageing of the skin and treating wrinkles. Meanwhile, vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, which protects cells and fights free radicals, which are responsible for the degeneration of tissues of the dermis.

If you want to try this homemade mask peel, blend a cucumber and add the liquid of two vitamin E capsules. Then apply the mixture to the face, leave it to soak for 20 minutes and remove with warm water.

Carrot anti-wrinkle mask

Another excellent homemade solution is to use the benefits of ingredients like carrots to improve the skin's appearance. Its high content of vitamin A is essential for renewing the collagen that keeps our skin young and for smoothing out those deeper wrinkles, even those crow's feet.

Prepare this homemade anti-wrinkle mask by blending two carrots and adding two tablespoons of natural yogurt and the juice of half a lemon to create a creamy paste. Apply it on the face or on the areas you wish to improve and leave it to work for 15 minutes.

Yogurt and fennel mask

The properties of yogurt are varied when it comes to improving our skin, as yogurt is a powerful cleaner.

To make this wrinkle mask you need a yogurt (remember to keep it natural), fennel seeds and fennel leaves. Mix the yogurt with the seeds (one tablespoon is enough) and a couple of crushed leaves until a smooth paste is created. Apply to the skin of the face for 20 minutes and remove with water.

Apart from applying an anti-wrinkle mask, it's also important to know when to start using anti-wrinkle cream too.

Potato anti-wrinkle face mask

The potato anti-wrinkle mask is one of the simplest ones you can do at home. You only need a couple of potatoes and a grater. You'll have to bake a potato until white enough to crush and turn it into a slurry. Grate the potatoes then another (this one should be raw) and mix with the paste. When well mixed,you'll have the perfect mask to apply on your face. Leave on for 20 minutes and remove.

Remember, though, that before this whole process is started you'll have to peel the potatoes.
