5 Anti-Aging Home Remedies Using Aloe, Turmeric and Sweet Potato

Poor lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, erratic sleeping patterns, excessive alcohol consumption etc. are some of the reasons why our skin might appear older than our years. While we may not be able to stop the aging process entirely, why not slow it down and age gracefully. That is totally possible.

I am a strong advocate of all things natural, including anti-aging methods and remedies. Did you know that the more harsh chemicals you use to protect your skin against lines and wrinkles, the more you are accelerating the process of aging. Your skin takes a severe beating everyday, due to factors like stress, poor nutrition and environmental toxins. But the great news is that you can minimize the effects of these risk factors by feeding your skin natural anti-aging ingredients. In form of a daily skin care routine supplemented by effective home remedies.

Eating a balanced diet, regularly exercising and staying hydrated are some anti-aging mantras. Apart from these, you can introduce natural remedies in your beauty routine. When combined with a healthy lifestyle and a daily & weekly skin care routine, these will not only help your skin remain youthful, but actually make you feel younger overall.

I promise, I will not recommend anything you cannot whip up in minutes and right at home. All you need is three powerful anti-aging ingredients: Turmeric, aloe vera and sweet potato.

Let us see how each of these can benefit your skin and how you can use them as powerful anti-aging allies. Reduced look of lines, wrinkles, sagging skin is what you can expect out of these natural ingredients.

Carrots contain vitamin A that could encourage collagen production, prevent wrinkles, and provide overall skin tightening benefits.

Potato on the other hand, evens out the skin tone overall and is much celebrated in Ayurveda for this beauty benefit.
