Eye Wrinkles Away

I can handle the freezing winter temperatures.  What I can’t handle is how the cold weather makes my eye wrinkles more pronounced!  Dry winter air often dehydrates skin, and dehydrated skin is more prone to wrinkles.  It’s important to keep your facial skin well-moisturized, especially aging skin which loses moisture over time.  A quick and inexpensive way to nourish your skin and boost its moisture is a homemade honey avocado mask.  This mask doesn’t contain any special oils and extracts that are only available at specialty food stores.  It only requires two ingredients, which may already be in your pantry: honey and avocados.

Honey is a great natural anti aging product.  It’s packed with antioxidants, which help fight free radicals that cause signs of aging.  It’s also a humectant, which binds moisture to the skin without becoming oily, making skin softer and more youthful-looking.  Avocados are also great moisturizers, and they contain vitamins A and E, antioxidants found to be effective at reducing eye wrinkles and improving skin tone.  Both honey and avocados also have antibacterial properties, so they help to cleanse your skin as well.

Here’s how to make this simple anti aging moisture mask:

Peel and mash 1/2 of an avocado in a bowl.  Then, stir in 1/4 cup of honey.  Apply to your skin, and leave it for 10 minutes.  Rinse your face with warm - not hot - water using a washcloth.

Once your face is dry, apply your regular anti eye wrinkle cream and face lotion.  Try this at home tonight for a quick and easy moisture boost!
