Making anti aging masks at home is the best way to control premature aging signs including wrinkles and fine lines. So, let’s find out a few of these recipes.
What is Aging?
Aging is a slow and natural process which occurs after a certain age. Some people show signs of aging early and some show late according to their skin type and lifestyle. Sometimes the signs of aging can be reversed by certain skin treatments like Botox but the side effects are too harsh to handle. I have always believed in adopting natural ways to stop signs of aging. Now what happens is that people might not see the results in minutes or hours and they feel that natural ways are not effective. You would have to give some time to make sure that the natural treatment has kicked in.
The most difficult aspect of putting yourself under the knife is that it takes a toll on your whole body. The excruciating pain would make your body uncomfortable and other side effects and risks associated with it would certainly make you suffer.
To avoid long term problems, the best way to treat aging is to make it effective from the core.
You would need a dash of patience and a miracle would be seen. The key here is to be persistent and determined. You can easily prepare these super effective anti aging masks at home to feel beautiful without any pain.
Top 5 Anti Aging Masks at Home Recipes
1. Egg Mask
This is a simple and most powerful mask for anti aging. The egg is a very nutritious food which has benefits for the whole body. The protein rich food would make your skin glow and the tightness from the mask would make it youthful. Aging starts when the moisture inside your skin gets dried and the skin tends to sag. This mask would make sure that your skin gets the desired tightness and nourishment from the egg.
Egg contains potassium which helps in retaining the moisture of your skin.
What you need:
- 1 egg beaten
- Few drops vitamin E oil
Directions for use:
Apply this mask on a clean face and leave it on for at least 20 minutes or till the mask dries up. Rinse your face with warm water and pat dry. Do not rub hard with a towel after using this mask. The vitamin E oil would give extra rejuvenation and would keep the skin moisturized. I have been using this mask for quite some time now and it has given amazing results. You need to use this mask at least thrice a week.
2. Honey and Yogurt Mask
This looks so yummy when eaten but the benefits it has on the skin is also amazing. Honey has anti bacterial properties which make it ideal for acne treatment. It is loaded with anti oxidants which slows down the aging process. The skin becomes radiant and youthful if honey is applied. Yogurt on the other hand has lactic acid which helps in tightening and closing open pores. This particular mask is one of my favorites and has instant results.
What you need:
- 3 tablespoon yogurt
- 1 teaspoon honey
Directions for use:
Mix these two ingredients well together and apply on a clean face. Leave it on for 20 minutes. You should not talk when you apply this mask. Rinse it off with warm water and pat dry. You will see amazing results right afterwards.
3. Honey and Banana Mask
As mentioned earlier, honey has amazing properties which are good for a clean and youthful skin. Banana helps in boosting the collagen which is responsible for the elasticity of the skin. With time, the production of collagen is reduced and the skin becomes loose. This mask would ensure that the collagen is given a boost, leaving the skin youthful. This particular mask has the benefits of anti bacterial properties, anti oxidants and natural tightening. Use this mask once a week and see the difference in a few weeks.
What you need:
- 1 banana mashed

Directions for use:
Mix it well together and apply on your face. Leave it for 20 minutes and wash off. Do this at least once a week to get the desired results.

It is always best to take Greek yogurt and organic coconut oil.

These anti aging masks at home recipes have been tried and tested many times. At times, some skin types may not be able to stand some ingredients and in that case, you can always do a patch test and then apply on your face. I have always believed in natural treatments and avoid medicated stuff. The anti aging creams and lotions are also available but I believe that they would have more side effects than benefiting your skin. Some over the counter creams are very good and contain natural ingredients. These creams can easily be used as they are safe but it is always best to avoid medicated creams. Try these natural masks at home and see the difference yourself. Your skin would get a natural boost making you look beautiful.
