Anti-Aging skin and Facial Treatment

Want an anti-aging skin treatment you can use all over your body? Then this is for you.

Most retinol treatments take months before you see any results. This recipe shows results in weeks. While not quite as good as retin a, it costs almost nothing, has no side-effects and uses common ingredients in your kitchen.

All you need is an egg yolk, a teaspoon of honey and a tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil. Just mix them together and apply for 15 to 30 minutes before washing it off. If you want to avoid bacterial buildup, use a mild antibacterial soap to wash it off.

Egg yolks contain all the vitamins your skin needs and are the richest source of retinol. The olive oil adds extra vitamin e and k. Though honey has many benefits, in this case we’re using it for it’s ability to make the skin absorb the paste, allowing the enzymes in the skin to quickly convert the retinal into retinoic acid, the main ingredient in retin a.

The paste is safe to use for 2 days. after which it needs to be thrown out. In most instances, you’ll only need to do it once every 2 weeks, but if you want to use it more often, you need to take care of the bacterial buildup.

The honey works great in the mixture, but it feeds the bacteria on your skin, both good and bad. That’s why washing it off with a mild antibacterial is important. The key word is mild. You don’t want to kill all the bacteria. Diluted hydrogen peroxide in water (1:20 for 10 vol) and diluted sodium bicarbonate in water(1:50) work too, just remember to rinse them off within a minute.
