Do you see wrinkles and age lines every time you look in the mirror?
Let’s be honest: we are always the FIRST to see even the tiniest blemishes or marks on our skin, even if no one else notices.
Unfortunately, one of the downsides of aging is that wrinkles tend to show up more visibly with every passing year. The bags under your eyes might be getting more noticeable, too, and you’re starting to see some sagging skin.
Don’t start worrying just yet!
Mother Nature has provided you with some truly amazing remedies that will help you in the fight against aging—including skin aging.
Below are the five most effective natural skin tonics that will do wonders to tighten and freshen up sagging, wrinkled, and dry skin:
1. Coconut oil
There’s a reason that coconut oil is one of the most commonly used ingredients in skin care products: it works!
Coconut oil is highly effective at penetrating deep into the lower layers of your skin, where the fatty acids act as a barrier to lock in moisture and lock out toxins, radiation, and environmental pollutants.
But that’s not all…
Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides, fatty acids that can hydrate and rejuvenate your skin [1]. The high antioxidant content of coconut oil makes it highly effective at combatting oxygen-free radicals that are causing accelerated cellular deterioration of your skin cells. Plus, the proteins in coconut oil will help to increase the production of collagen, the nutrient that maintains healthy, tight skin.
Fair warning: coconut oil can be highly comedogenic [2] and lead to higher rates of acne and pimple breakouts.
2. Rosemary oil
Rosemary oil is one of the most wonderful-smelling skin remedies on the planet—and one of the most effective!
The herb oil is rich in ursolic acid, a pentacyclic triterpenoid that has some pretty potent healing benefits. [3] Not only is it a powerful antioxidant, but it can also combat inflammation and prevent the proliferation of cancer cells. Plus, it can protect the fibroblasts in your skin from damage caused by the UV radiation in sunlight, and increase your skin’s natural production of collagen, elastin, and keratin [4].
This makes it one of the best-known and most powerful natural anti-wrinkle (and anti-cancer) skin tonics you can find.
3. Vitamin E oil
Vitamin E is one of the best natural protectors against UV radiation, dryness, and environmental pollutants. It’s able to penetrate deeply into your skin, where it acts as a barrier to keep out damage and lock in moisture and nutrients—both of which are critical for the production of skin-tightening collagen and elastin.
Science has proven [5] that Vitamin E is one of the most effective remedies to stop the sun from damaging your skin, preventing against inflammation caused by exposure to excessive sunlight and UV radiation.

4. Egg white
What a strange—but highly effective—remedy this one is! Basically, you just smear egg white all over your face, let it dry for 15-20 minutes, then rinse your face with warm water. The result: tighter, healthier skin.
That’s because egg whites are rich in amino acids that provide your body with the proteins needed to produce more collagen and elastin. The albumin in egg whites can help to tighten your skin [6], reduce excess skin oil, and infuse your skin with critical vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.
Egg whites can also help to dry out existing pimples and increase your skin’s ability to repair itself from any damage.
Bonus: Add in a bit of honey to your egg white mask. Honey has powerful antibacterial and antioxidant properties that will drastically lighten and brighten your skin while also reducing wrinkles [7].
5. Coffee grounds
Fresh coffee grounds can make for a truly amazing face treatment that offers an impressive array of benefits.
First off, it’s rough and works as an exfoliating scrub to eliminate dirt, grime, and dead skin cells from your pores.
Second, it’s known to reduce the visibility of blemishes and cellulite [8]. It does so by dilating the blood vessels beneath your skin, thereby increasing blood flow—with oxygen and nutrients—to your skin.
It can also decrease photo-aging, a common side effect of exposure to the sun [9]. The chlorogenic acid in coffee can also reduce inflammation and prevent hyperpigmentation. Some dermatologists even recommend using it to lighten dark circles and deep bags beneath your eyes [10].
These five natural skin treatments can do wonders to tighten, brighten, and lift your skin, giving your face the youthful look and healthy glow you’ve been wanting. Try them out for yourself and see how well they work for your specific skin. The results may blow you away!
