The face is what you notice first in any person. This part of the body is always uncovered, unlike the others, so its appearance is vitally important. A face riddled with wrinkles and skin problems can create a bad self-image and complexities. However, keeping a soft, smooth face is not an easy task.
Due to aging, sun exposure, acne and pollution, the skin of our face can deteriorate and be wrinkled, which affects self-esteem. Moreover, most women are willing to do anything they can to treat these problems, but the commercial cosmetics they usually use can be harmful to the skin, not to mention their high cost.
Fortunately, there are many natural remedies that can erase the signs of aging and skin problems effectively. These remedies can be prepared at home and their effectiveness is visible in just a few days. So, here's a simple recipe to make a lotion against acne, spots and wrinkles.
Natural lotion against acne and wrinkles
Ingredients:
- 200 ml of water
- A handful of chopped parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions :
Pour the water into a saucepan and let it boil over the heat, then add the chopped parsley. Boil the mixture for 15 minutes then remove it from the pan and leave it at room temperature. Once warm, add the lemon juice. Pour the mixture into an airtight jar or bottle and store the lotion in the refrigerator.
Wash your face with this mixture every night. It will deeply cleanse your pores and nourish your skin with essential nutrients that will keep it healthy and elastic.
You should start noticing changes after about a month of use, your skin should become cleaner and more elastic. Note that the use of this lotion is preferred in the evening because the lemon has a photosensitizing effect.
Benefits of the ingredients:
Parsley
The high amount of vitamin C in the parsley, and the resulting antioxidant properties, allow the skin to be nourished from the inside to reduce fine lines, wrinkles and scars and effectively fight against skin aging. In addition, consuming parsley stimulates collagen production and promotes cell reproduction and repair. This leads to faster growth of skin cells, resulting in skin without blemishes, uniform and smooth, free of wrinkles and fine lines.
It is also effective at removing dark circles under the eyes, thanks to the large amount of vitamin C, chlorophyll and vitamin K it contains, which help to lighten the skin under the eyes and even to reduce puffiness. In addition, eugenol, an essential oil found in parsley, provides antibacterial and antifungal effects that are useful for treating acne, pimples, skin infection and allows the disinfection of pores.
Lemon juice
Being a good source of vitamin C, lemon juice repairs damaged skin cells, helps eliminate fine lines, blemishes and wrinkles, and cleans pores. But that's not all, lemon juice also acts on acne by reducing both the excess of sebum and fighting against the bacteria that cause pimples.
Warnings :
Never rub lemon directly on your pimples, as this may cause unpleasant skin reactions (drying of the skin, tightness, irritation, burning). Similarly, it is advisable to always use lemon juice in small quantities and dilute it.
