This natural, homemade flaxseed gel is an excellent remedy to reduce wrinkles and tighten facial skin, making it appear smoother, taut, and radiant. Flaxseed is known for its hydrating and skin-tightening properties, often touted as being stronger than Botox.
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds
- 1 cup of water
- Optional: 1-2 drops of vitamin E oil (for extra nourishment)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Flaxseeds: Place the flaxseeds in a saucepan and add the cup of water.
- Boil the Mixture: Heat the saucepan on medium flame and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.
- Simmer and Thicken: Lower the flame and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the mixture becomes gel-like in consistency.
- Cool and Strain: Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the gel to cool. Strain it using a cheesecloth or fine mesh sieve to remove the flaxseeds.
- Optional Additions: Add a couple of drops of vitamin E oil to enhance the gel’s benefits.
- Application: Wash your face and pat it dry. Apply the flaxseed gel evenly to your face, focusing on areas with wrinkles. Leave it on for 20-30 minutes before rinsing with lukewarm water.
- Store: Pour the gel into a clean, airtight container and refrigerate. Use it daily for best results.
