Although several over the counter creams and beauty products are available in the market that help treat skin aging, it is best to opt for time tested home remedies that are not only effective, but also safe with no side effects.

    The benefits of aloe vera for skin are numerous. It functions as an effective natural remedy for pimples and acne and reducing excessive oiliness of skin. Malic acid present in aloe vera gel improves skin elasticity and reduces wrinkles and fine lines- the most evident signs of skin aging. Zinc present in the gel increases the youthfulness of skin by shrinking the pores whereas mucopolysaccharides – long chain sugar molecules present in the gel helps in retaining moisture and improves formation of collagen – the protein that forms the basis of cell structure and maintains skin elasticity.

     Applying egg white mask is an easy and effective way of lightening wrinkles and fine lines. Spreading egg white on the wrinkled areas helps in stretching the skin and shrinking the open pores to give it a smoother, younger and youthful appearance. Being a rich source of proteins, potassium, magnesium and riboflavin it aids tissue repair, hydrates and moisturizes skin and neutralizes the damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress- two of the chief reasons for premature skin aging.
