Crow’s feet, fine lines and wrinkles have plagued women throughout the years of humanity. And in as many ways as women have been plagued by the effects of aging, scientists, doctors and even spiritual leaders have been willing to relieve their pocketbooks of a few dollars in exchange for a magic serum that promised to restore youth and beauty.
Throughout time, women and men alike have used natural treatments to fight the effects of aging. In ancient Egyptian times, the queen Cleopatra used natural remedies to stay young, plants which include aloe and cucumbers, healing ginger root, and the common skin treatment jojoba oil. Ancient rituals to reduce the effects of aging used plants to try to heal and stimulate the skin.
The modernly available forms of anti-aging products and facial creams incorporate modern science technology with ancient anti-aging secrets. Some companies offer products with diamond dust to expose the soft young skin, while another option is the wrinkle injection and cream called Botox.
In America alone,we spend over $1 billion a year on our products. At any given time,in any given store there are thousands of wrinkle creams to wipe away years from your face. With such expectations to live up to and desperation for a body of flawlessness, women are not the only ones seeking a fountain of youth. Men account for nearly 30% of that figure.
Even some monks in Massachusetts have offered a divine way to stop your skin from aging, at the low, low, price of $65. In this day and age of limited anti-aging science, a tube blessed by the divine is just as likely to reduce your wrinkles as any standard anti-aging wrinkle cream.
Even though science still hasn’t supplied us with a way to fully reverse the process of aging, some people will still go to no end to find the proverbial fountain of youth. Strange and exotic ingredients and crazy concoctions are constantly being released on the market, but most of these products don’t do much but lighten your wallet load.
In foreign countries, a few of the most sought after wrinkle creams include oddities such as nightingale bird poo, viper venom and snail slime. It seems any and all fruits applied to the face in the form of a cream work as well…papaya,bananas, pomegranite, cherries and oranges are the preferred. There is no end to what your next vat of cream will have in it.
The most efficient, time witshtanding anti-wrinkle cream that works? Smile,laugh and stop adding more stress (leading contributor to wrinkles) by worrying which cream will keep those lines at bay. If you are not already, use a good moisturizer and sunscreen. Wash off make-up as soon as possible and dare to go without on weekends. Keep your tanning inside a spray can. Use some feel good, relaxing and most importantly inexpensive ingredients in your pantry…oatmeal,honey and olive oil(Mix together and apply,allowing to become firm-add water and scrub off). Cucumber slices over your eyes will complete a 10 minute facial that costs over $500 in a Beverly Hills salon. Leave the bird poo and snail slime on the shelf and keep your money in your wallet as you realize you have found the fountain of youth-common sense and head turning to eye catching advertisement. Embrace your natural beauty that sits on your shelf next to your anti-stress $450 an hour therapy session substitute chocolate bar.
