A trick thats been passed down through generations in my family is simple one and my mom has amazing skin at 55 barely any wrinkles or skin problems ... same with me ... I recently stopped doing it and I ended up getting acne for first time in my life ... now that Ive resumed my skin is back to being flawless

simple and cheap ...

cut a slice of lemon and rub it all over face and let dry on skin over night

lemons act as astringent, exfoliant, toner, skin brightener, antibacterial agent, vitamin supplement, will curb any break outs (good for those suffering hormonal acne)

I also use it as a makeup primer ... I rub it on face let dry and pick off any stray lemon pieces and my makeup goes on even.

In winter if my skin gets a bit dry (i find my nose and forehead tend to) then I dont run lemon on there instead i sleep with some olive oil on those areas.

Anyway its a cheap solution ... actually works ... give it a week or so ... you'll notice improvement :)

Let me know how it works out for you

I am not a makeup wearer so, wrinkles and lines show the minute they arrive on my face.  There is nothing worse than your teenage daughters telling you how much older you look than their friend's mothers.  So when a friend told me to try Made From Earth's Olive Night Cream, I was interested. 

She bought me a jar online.  How could I not use it?  OMG.  It really works.  Like many things you have to be patient and not judge the results before the proper time, in this case at least 4 weeks and preferably 8.  I started using the Olive Night Cream, I placed it by the sink and used the morning eye cream just after doing my hair, and the pm just after brushing my teeth at night.  But I have to admit after even one week I thought I saw results, but after 4 others definitely noticed a difference.  They were not sure what, but everyone said I looked rested, calm. and great. At eight weeks, even my children thought I looked good.  Miracles never cease to happen.  I love this product and highly recommend it.
