The Absolute Greatest Anti-Ageing, Anti-Wrinkle Product I’ve Ever Used

Y’all, I meant to incorporate this data in my submit yesterday in order that I might preserve all of my well being data in a single month-to-month submit, however I obtained in a rush (it was Wednesday and I used to be on my strategy to meet my mother and bonus sister for lunch), and I fully forgot to incorporate this. Anyway, if you happen to missed my well being/weight reduction/2024 decision replace for the month of April, you can check that out here.

However along with the entire no sugar, weight reduction, getting wholesome progress I’ve made, I additionally began utilizing the best possible anti-aging, anti-wrinkle product that I’ve ever used, and I needed to cross alongside this data. I do know I’m not a way of life/wellness weblog, and I by no means intend to show this weblog into that type of factor. However I additionally understand how a lot we girls are likely to spend on lotions, potions, drugs, collagen powders, and so on., in an effort to show again the palms of time (particularly as time marches throughout our faces and leaves it’s boot prints behind as proof 😀 ), so I didn’t need to neglect to cross this alongside to you.

Let me again up a bit. At the start of this yr, I used to be getting so unbelievably discouraged with my pores and skin, and particularly the pores and skin on my face, neck and chest. I imply, I do know that I turned 50 years previous final June, however it’s like I used to be beginning accumulate a yr’s value of growing older each month. I used to be getting so unbelievably discouraged seeing the wrinkles turn out to be extra pronounced on my brow, the crepe-like wrinkled pores and skin beneath my eyes, and so on.

I used to be shopping for each cream and potion that any influencer on Instagram instructed me I wanted, and whereas most of them would work instantly to plump up my pores and skin and diminish the look of the skinny, crepe-like, wrinkled pores and skin, nothing had any lasting results that lasted greater than a few hours.

Right here’s a close-up from that image above. Although I used to be continually moisturizing, my pores and skin at all times seemed dry. And my goodness, that beneath eye space was actually getting me discouraged.

And so that folks don’t suppose it’s only a dangerous image, or simply dangerous lighting, or I used to be simply actually drained that one time, I’ll present you extra footage taken at different instances in several lighting. Right here’s one other image from January thirty first. Once more with the eyes. Ugh.

I used to be very glad that I wore glasses as a result of at the least that camouflaged the wrinkles some, however even at that, there was no hiding what was happening beneath my eyes. Even with my glasses on, my eyes had been at all times wanting so drained and previous.

Even with the glare on my glasses (as a result of I forgot to organize them with the non-glare coating), there was no camouflaging this.

I had began utilizing two completely different merchandise fairly religiously firstly of the yr. (Really, one in all them I began final summer season after being influenced by an influencer. 😀 ) Right here’s the “progress” after utilizing a kind of for months, and the opposite one for a couple of month. I took this image when Matt was within the hospital firstly of February. I had hoped to see extra progress after including that second product, so this image was actually discouraging to me.

Right here’s a closeup of my eyes from that image above. I don’t actually see any distinction in any respect from utilizing these merchandise.

So in some unspecified time in the future after Matt obtained out of the hospital, my face began breaking out on the corners of my mouth, and I began getting redness and itching on my neck. So with the entire points I used to be coping with, from the dry, crepe-like, wrinkled pores and skin to the breakouts to the itchy purple spots on my neck, I used to be throwing all the things I might consider at my pores and skin, from coconut oil and tallow for the dry, wrinkled pores and skin, to Benadryl cream for the itchy redness on my neck, and the entire lotions I had bought.

When none of these had been actually working, I lastly requested myself, “What do I’ve that I haven’t tried but?” I went looking out by way of my cupboards, and I got here throughout one factor I hadn’t tried.

Castor oil.

I had bought castor oil and a castor oil pack after I began following a lymphatic specialist on Instagram. She recommends castor oil packs for every kind of issues, and I had been utilizing mine over my liver every night time. And whereas I had learn fairly a bit in regards to the amazingness of castor oil (if you happen to haven’t seemed into it, I extremely suggest it), and I knew it to be helpful for a really big selection of points, I wasn’t certain about placing it on my face and neck. However I made a decision to provide it a attempt anyway. It’s fairly thick stuff, so it’s not one thing that I might ever attempt to placed on my face as a every day moisturizer earlier than placing on make-up to go someplace. However I began utilizing it at night time earlier than mattress. Every night time after I ready my castor oil pack and put it on, I’d put a little bit of castor oil on my fingers and rub it throughout my face and neck.

Y’all, I couldn’t consider the change! I used to be seeing very noticeable variations in my pores and skin in lower than two weeks. That image above that I took when Matt was within the hospital was taken on February sixth. This image beneath was taken on February twenty second.

I do know I look horrifying. 😀 I had been working within the studio and was taking a day Sonic break, so my hair was a multitude. However that’s my face with no make-up after lower than two weeks of utilizing castor oil on my face each night time earlier than mattress.

Right here’s a detailed up from the picture simply above.

Right here’s one other image simply a few weeks later. This one is March 2nd.

Right here’s one other closeup…

And right here’s one from this morning, Might 2nd, about 45 minutes after I wakened.

And one other shut up…

I imply…y’all!!! I’ve purchased SO MANY merchandise during the last yr to assist with my pores and skin. And the factor that gave me essentially the most exceptional outcomes was castor oil! Not solely is it essentially the most moisturizing factor that I’ve ever placed on my face and neck, however it cleared up the purple itchy patches, and has additionally performed wonderful issues for the pores and skin on my neck and chest, which had additionally began wanting crepey and wrinkly. However sadly, I haven’t been taking development footage of my pores and skin in these areas. My eyes are what made me essentially the most self-conscious, in order that’s what I’ve been monitoring with progress footage.

I do know that each one you are able to do is take my work for it, and persons are typically fairly skeptical about claims relating to skincare, anti-wrinkle, anti-aging merchandise, however I’m not even right here to promote you something. I imply, I’ll give you the link to the exact castor oil that I use, and it’s an affiliate hyperlink.

However my outcomes don’t have something to do with the model of castor oil that I take advantage of. You simply need to make it possible for it’s natural, chilly pressed, hexane-free, and is available in a glass bottle. (Don’t use castor oil from a plastic bottle!!) So I’m not married to a particular model of castor oil. I simply need to cross alongside this data in order that others can know the amazingness of castor oil. I will probably be utilizing castor oil on my face each single night time for the remainder of my life, and I’ll by no means be suckered into shopping for one other costly anti-aging miracle cream from one other influencer or sparkly Instagram advert ever once more.

I can’t recover from this…
