Lessen wrinkles naturally with these 7+ home remedies

No one likes the thought of aging, and as the years pass by, wrinkles move in to give testimony to the passing of time. Some may choose to fight the wrinkles by spending a lot money on expensive spa treatments.
Not everyone can afford to do that, though. For those, take heart. You can do a number of things at home to help reduce wrinkles and keep your skin looking fresh. Here are 7+ home remedies to help reduce wrinkles.

1. Satin. Since you spend so much time sleeping, Medical Daily says that using satin sheets or a high thread count cotton for your pillow case may help reduce wrinkles. The softer material is gentler on your skin, and your face has sensitive skin to begin with.
2. Olive oil. Keeping your face well hydrated will help stave off wrinkles, too. LIVESTRONG recommends using olive oil as a moisturizer. Start by steaming your face for 15 minutes to help open pores. Apply the olive oil, massaging it into your skin in circular motions.
3. Coconut oil. Another oil that may help reduce wrinkles, according to Medical Daily, is coconut oil. Apply this every night before bed to your freshly cleaned face.
4. Lemon juice. Vitamin C helps fight sun damage and makes the skin appear shiny. Reader's Digest says to take a slice of fresh lemon and rub the juice onto your skin.
5. Egg whites. According to Medical Daily, egg whites help tighten and brighten the skin. You can make them even better by adding 1 teaspoon lemon juice and 1/2 teaspoon honey to your egg white. Froth the white and then apply the froth to your face and let it sit for 30 minutes before rinsing it off.
6. Cucumber. Cucumbers are very hydrating, so LIVESTRONG recommends grating 1 cucumber and then pressing the juice from the cucumber through a sieve. Use a cotton ball to spread the cucumber juice onto your face. Let it sit 30 minutes before rinsing it off with water.
7. Bananas. As long as you don't mind the smell of bananas, Medical Daily recommends a banana mask to help with age spots and skin brightening. Mash 1 banana. Add 1 teaspoon orange juice and 1 teaspoon plain yogurt. Place the mask on for 15 to 20 minutes before rinsing off with water.
8. Diet. In addition to all the skin treatments, Reader's Digest reminds you that what you eat is important to the health of your skin. Eating a diet that's rich in fresh fruits and vegetables helps ensure that you're getting enough of the nutrients your skin needs to stay healthy and hold back the tide of wrinkles.
