Question Hi Casey,
I have aged dramatically in the last 10 yrs. I would think this is normal- but I look much older than any of my classmates. I have undergone a very stressful time. In the last 3 yrs I have developed telecangisis? veins on my face (lots) and am generally red in the face. My face has also dropped an inch- 35 and ready for a facelift! Anyway, I can't afford cosmetic surgery and was wondering if there were any natural home remedies or facials that I could do to help?
Thanks,
Wendy
Answer Hi Wendy!
When it comes to home remedies for skin tightening/lifting - the best I am aware of is 1 egg white mixed with 1/4 teaspoon powdered alum. Alum is available in some grocery spice aisles - it is what helps to make pickles crisp. When using this concoction, mix the egg white and alum, apply a thin layer to face, allow to dry (about 10 mins), then remove with a cool, moist cloth. Believe me when I say - this will be the tighest mask you've ever felt.
Do not over use this mask, however. For whatever reason, the skin can build a tolerance to this tightening effect, so only use the mask about once every 5 days.
There are certain "face lift" massage treatments available by professionals. This may be something you're interested in. If so, let me know and I will post you more information on those.
