Wrinkle Buster From Your Kitchen
Many cosmetic companies are capitalizing on on our need to fight
the signs of aging. Prices for these "miracle" concoctions can
run as high as $200 for a cream! So what is in these small jars
of hope and promise? Looking through the ingredients and
deciphering the scientific names, you may discover that some of
the ingredients are derive from fruits and vegetables that we
regularly buy in the Produce section of our favorite grocer.
A simple fruit, grapes, has been used in anti-aging treatments
as an antioxidant and a skin rejuvenator. Seed or Seedless? With
Seeds! An added benefit is provided when you use the grapes with
seeds. The seeds contain proanthocyanidin which is considered to
be a very potent antioxidant. A study shows that grapeseeds can
be a potent healer of the skin. In addition to being a potent
healer, it also makes a wonderful skin softner as well as
improving the skin's texture.

properties to the test?
Open a white grape and rub the mashed grapes over your face and
neck. Leave it on for 15 minutes or until dy and rinse with
lukewarm water. Repeat daily. In a week or two, you may be hard
pressed to find those tale-tell signs of aging when you consult
with your mirror!
