You may think wrinkles are only caused by aging. But truth be told, smoking, dehydration, pollution, poor diet and stress take a toll on your skin as well. Here are 5 100% organic home remedies for wrinkles you can topically apply to improve your skin and reverse time. (Quick hint: you may have many of these around your kitchen already!).

Here are our Top 5 Home Remedies for Wrinkles

#1 Olive Oil

Gently massage your skin with olive oil to enjoy all the benefits of its antioxidants (vitamins A and E). It will also provide a long-lasting moisturizing effect and repair your skin. Dressing your greens with olive oil will also help your skin from the inside-out.

#2 Aloe Vera

The simplest and most inexpensive way to fight wrinkles is to own an aloe vera plant. To get all the skincare benefits of Aloe Vera, just cut one leaf to extract its gel. Then proceed to apply it as a mask onto your skin. Aloe vera is known for its malic acid content that helps reduce wrinkles by boosting your skin’s elasticity.

#3 Bananas

Yup! Bananas are a powerful source of  vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that will help you reduce the appearance of fine lines. Applying a banana mask twice a week will help you turn the clock backwards. Simply mash two ripe bananas and apply over your problem area for 30 minutes before you rinse. Incorporating bananas to your diet, will also help preserve your skin’s youthful looks.

#4 Avocado

Avocado is so delicious, nutritious and can do so much for your skin!  All you need to do is mash one up and relax while its vitamin E nourishes and hydrates your skin. Add half an avocado to your toast, or salad for a healthy glow from within.

#5 Apricot

Another home remedy for wrinkles is apricot. It provides your skin with magnesium, potassium, phosphorus and calcium. Make a puree combining 2 apricots, honey, milk and lime juice. Leave it on for at least 10 minutes, then remove with cold water to reveal a more nourished and firmer complexion.
