Wrinkles

You do not need to visit a cosmetic surgeon or skin expert in order to banish wrinkles. Some of the easiest ways to make your skin look more supple and health include aloe vera, which when taken daily can have a marked impact on visible wrinkles.
Many superfoods have been shown to help reduce wrinkles as well, such as avocados, walnuts, salmon, chia seeds, and even artichokes.
Be sure to get your daily doses of probiotics as well, both to balance out your gut health and help with skin. Probiotics can make your skin look so much more radiant. Zinc, which is found in oysters, oatmeal, and cheese, to name a few, protects your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.

Hair Loss

Although it occurs primarily in men, women can also suffer from hair loss as well. There are many remedies for hair growth that do not utilize harsh chemicals or medications in order for you to have thicker, fuller strands. Make sure that you are getting plenty of nutrients, such as Vitamin B, which stimulates your hair follicles.
Additionally, massaging your scalp with solutions like essential oils can encourage hair growth. A great solution involving popular household ingredients is to mix two eggs together, coat your hair with the mixture, and rinse it after twenty minutes, which will nourish your hair with protein.

Bags Under Eyes

Bags usually develop under your eyes with age because your skin has less collagen the older you get. There are many tried and true natural methods for reducing or even eliminating the appearance of under-eye bags and circles. For instance, cucumber and cold compresses are quick solutions, which can also have a cooling effect.
Many of these can be applied directly to the skin under the eyes with a pad or cotton swab, like milk and tomato juice. Incorporating foods into your diet like salmon and dark chocolate can be extremely beneficial for your eyes as well. Finally, getting enough rest, at least eight hours a night, is the best way to combat the signs of aging in the eyes.

Graying Hair

Another sign of aging is gray hair, which occurs when your hair follicle loses its color over time. It is not possible to completely eliminate gray hair, but you can retain your natural hair color for an extended period of time. B complex vitamins, like B12 and biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin D, and Vitamin E, have been shown to encourage healthy hair.
Additionally, ensure that you are consuming enough zinc in your diet, which has a myriad of health benefits as well. For a direct hit, try massaging your scalp with various natural ingredients, like ghee, wheatgrass juice, or coconut oil.

Age Spots

Age spots usually develop alongside wrinkles as your age increases, due to various factors like sun exposure. There are many foods you can work into your diet that will help to reduce the appearance of age spots, or even eliminate them completely. For example, potatoes contain starch that has exfoliating properties.
Mix cucumber, aloe vera gel, and lemon juice and spread over your face as a natural face mask that will nourish and moisturize your skin. Orange peel, when applied directly to the age spots for twenty minutes, can have a powerful effect by providing high amounts of Vitamin C.
There are many solutions for taking care of your body as you grow older, but you do not have to rely on harsh chemicals and medications for solving your problems. With these tips, you will be able to keep your body looking its best with many ingredients that you can find in your household.
