Visit any drugstore and the shelves will be full to bursting with pills, lotions and potions claiming to halt - or at least slow down - the aging process. The products themselves vary widely but they all have one thing in common - and that’s a hefty price tag.

Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can make your own anti aging creams in the comfort of your own home. You just need to know what ingredients to use, and where to find them.

Refrigerator, Pantry… Or Garden?
You can actually obtain ingredients to make your own anti aging creams in a few different places, and if you enjoy producing home made creams you’ll soon have a wide selection of ingredients to choose from.

Safflower oil is a good ingredient to have, as it doubles as both cooking oil and a natural antioxidant when applied to the skin to moisturize it. Keeping your skin properly moisturized is the best way to make sure it doesn’t age prematurely. Avocado oil is another good bet for achieving this, and both oils can be used as a base to add other ingredients to. Oils are actually more easily absorbed than creams as well.

If you are serious about wanting to make your own anti aging creams you need to incorporate them into your whole beauty routine. Get rid of dead skin cells by exfoliating regularly. You can use crushed sea salt, oatmeal or cornmeal for this. Citrus fruits are also ideal as they help to break down the dead cells. Lemons are wonderful - your face will sting slightly but the results are worth it!

To make your own anti aging creams successfully it’s worth spending some time exploring which ingredients are right for you. As with any store bought anti aging cream, home made ones can irritate your skin if they are particularly sensitive, and it’s best to try a patch test for any new ingredient you are going to try.

Go For Variety
