Wrinkles On The Face? Learn How To Make Homemade Ointments
When treating yourself with natural ingredients, it is better to prepare in small quantities because they do not keep very long.
Wrinkles are small folds that form on our skin, usually due to age.
With the passage of time and the action of certain internal and external factors, the deepest layers of the skin are altered and die, and these furrows appear on our face.
The external factors that deteriorate the skin are diverse and can range from prolonged exposure to the sun or wind, improper use of makeup, UV rays or other radiation, to the consumption of tobacco and alcohol.
On the other hand, the internal factors that affect our skin are poor digestion, poor diet, insomnia and the production of free radicals (cell garbage) which must be neutralized and eliminated.
A massive production of free radicals destroys our cells and promotes the appearance of wrinkles in the same way as in the case of prolonged sun exposure.
Obviously, the best prevention is to avoid all these practices. This is why we must be careful not to expose ourselves too much to the sun, and not to use too much makeup.
