If you are a little standoffish when it comes to needles, then you may want to consider natural remedies for reducing the appearance of your fine lines and wrinkles. It is important to note that natural remedies may not work and you may need to turn to botox injections in order to get that youthful skin back that you had years ago. In the meantime, though, you can give these four natural methods of reducing wrinkles a try:

1. Get Rid of the Cigarettes

Whether you want to admit it or not, smoking is not good for you. It's a hard habit to break, but it is an important one. This is especially true if you are worried about your appearance. Studies show that people who smoke look older than those who don't but are the same age. So, if you smoke and your best friend of the same age doesn't, by the time you both hit 30, you are going to look 40. Luckily, you can stop smoking and see a dramatic change in your appearance in just nine months. In fact, you can look more than 10 years younger!

2. Change Your Diet to More Fats (Healthy Ones!)

You can also stop eating fat. However, it is important to understand that there are good fats and bad fats. You need to eliminate the bad fats, such as vegetable oils, and increase the good fats, which can include:

  • Olive and coconut oil
  • Meat from animals who have been grass-fed
  • Dairy from free-range animals
  • Wild salmon
  • Pasteurized poultry and eggs

3. Increase Your Intake of Antioxidant-Rich Vegetables

In order to keep those wrinkles at bay, you will also need to eat more yellow and green vegetables. These are rich in antioxidants and beta carotene. Both of these are known to help encourage clear, youthful skin. Some of these vegetables include:

  • Mustard greens
  • Yellow bell peppers
  • Broccoli
  • Kale
  • Tomatoes
  • Winter squash
  • Swiss chard

4. Start Using Red Ginseng Extract

Studies suggests that red ginseng extract, especially when combined with Corni fructus and Torilus fructus, can help reduce the appearance of your current fine lines and wrinkles. In addition, the extract can help reduce the biochemical factors that actually cause those unsightly wrinkles. Red ginseng extract can be picked up at your local pharmacy or health food store.

When natural methods won't do the trick, give your cosmetic surgeon or dermatologist a call to schedule an appointment for botox injections.
