Staying young is big business,Your Own Anti Aging Products Articles and one that we spend billions of dollars on every year. We buy pills, potions, creams, peels and such like in our never ending quest for eternal youth. The sad fact is that we get older, and the manufacturers get richer. There is a growing trend in making your own using herbs and natural ingredients, and you can see the appeal. They cost very little and you know exactly what you are using. Here are some of my top tips for homemade and natural anti aging products.

The first is one that we all know about, but tend to dismiss, good old water. Yes, I know you`ve heard it all before, but there`s a reason it keeps getting mentioned, it`s so damned good for you! It flushes toxins from your system and does something that no expensive cream can do; hydrate you from the inside out. You can spend hundreds of dollars on a moisturizing cream, but it will only do the top layer or so of skin, whereas the water will hydrate the lower layers, giving a softer and healthier glow to your skin.

`You are what you eat` is a much quoted phrase, and also happens to be true. A healthy, balanced diet with fruit, vegetables and oily fish gives you nutrients and vitamins which can have a profound effect on your skin. If you have ever seen any of those weight loss shows on TV, as well as losing weight, you must have noticed how much younger the contestants look. This is due entirely to what they are eating and the nutrients they are gaining from it.

Although it`s not recommended that you eat a lot of it; Honey is a great natural ingredient to use in home made anti aging products. It is used in most of the top anti wrinkle creams that are available, but the best of all is just the pure honey by itself. First of all, wash your face all over with warm water to open up the pores. Then get the honey and spread it over your entire face in a thin layer. Leave it for 30 minutes and then wash it off with warm water, finish off by rubbing an ice cube over your face. This really is a great anti wrinkle product and all for the cost of a jar of honey.

Other popular ingredients to make creams of this kind are coconut oil and bananas. Last thing at night, warm some coconut oil and massage it gently into your face and neck, and that`s it! One of the most effective night products available, and also very cheap and completely natural. Bananas are known for energy, but that potassium is also a highly effective anti wrinkle product. Simply mash the bananas into a cream and liberally apply it all over your face, like a mask. Leave it for 20 minutes then wash it off with warm water and pat your face dry very gently.

There are hundreds of recipes like these to be found easily on the internet, so keep your money for other things, and create your own anti aging products.
