But, even more, oils create an invisible 'shield' on top of the skin, protecting it from dehydration. And we know that dehydration is the worst skin's enemy!

Products like coq 10 are rich in antioxidants and support the skin during the aging process on the cellular level. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, keeping the wrinkles under the eyes, neck, and forehead away.
Massaging the delicate skin under the eyes with natural oils can stimulate blood circulation and promote collagen production. Oils like almond, coconut, or avocado oil are rich in vitamins and antioxidants that nourish the skin. Gently massage a few drops into the skin using your ring finger, moving in circular motions to minimize the appearance of wrinkles.

Once the treatment is done, gently rinse it off and check out the amazing results. The avocado face mask is my personal skin care essential!
Final Thoughts...
If you want to decrease wrinkles as much as possible, here are some things that will definitely speed up the wrinkling process: smoking (should it be explained any further?), an unhealthy diet (too many processed sugars, unhealthy fat, and soda drinks), and too much exposure to the sun (which makes you squint your eyes, as well as letting the UV rays damage the skin).
All these factors work towards premature skin aging, reducing the skin's elasticity and damaging the skin under your eyes, on your neck, and chin. The health and looks of the skin depend not only on what we do to our skin but also on what we avoid doing!
Lots of love,
