Anti Aging Tips and Tricks



We are always looking for Anti aging tips and tricks that can slow down the aging process, well here are a few home remedies that I have tried in the past.

Everyone of us should be getting 7 – 9 hours sleep every night and get at least 30 minute exercise everyday  and eat  at least 9 servings of fruit and vegetables daily preferably with high levels of antioxidant.

Reduce the appearance of wrinkles


Make your own age-defying exfoliating face mask with honey, cinnamon and apple cider vinegar to get rid of dead skin, moisturize your face and tighten skin so it doesn't sag. As you age, you lose collagen in your skin, which creates wrinkles. 

Exfoliating the skin with this cinnamon paste helps bring in new collagen, leading to fewer wrinkles. The vinegar acts as a toner; keeping skin cells hydrated which prevents wrinkles as well.

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon of honey to make a paste.

Apply it to your face and leave on for 30 minutes every night and rinse.

 Then apply white vinegar toner using one part vinegar to one part water.

 Dip a cotton ball into the toner solution and rub all over face to help tighten skin.
