Lifting wrinkles

Rmegan cucumber thin sliced around the eye area or cold tea bags.
Not a 'cure' but seems to reduce the appearance temporarily.
Cold compress (flannel) first thing in the morning.

I have been recently reading that a silk pillowcase will help in the fight against lines and wrinkles.

Any GNer recently purchased a silk pillowcase or silk pillow?

I think there have been two products on the shopping channels - Eyessential and Fabulift. Personally, I don't like the feeling of tightness but I know others who do. Both worked well but Fabulift made my skin red so I had to return it. Hope that helps.

Nothing, and stop worrying. It will only make your wrinkles worse.

Huge sunglasses work for me, and as I’m VI I actually have a medical reason to wear them at all times!

This is one I have used loopyloo. It takes 30 seconds to dry,and pulls skin tight as it does. I also put it on my “Marionette” lines from nose to mouth, works well! Pat it on,keep face very still as it dries, skin a bit dry next day, but hey! If you look nicer for a special occasion, who cares ??

I discovered My Perfect Eyes several years ago and it worked so well that I told my grandson it was a magic trick! He looked at the bags under my eyes, then went away for 5 minutes, came back and they were really gone!! It was rather expensive, and as others have said, it left a residue so I didn't use it very often. Now I have discovered Avon Platinum Instant Eye Smoother, for about £4 and it works just as well, with less residue.

I made my own silk pillow cases. A lot cheaper.
It wasn't for wrinkles but for bedhead hair It really does work.

Yes, ointment for piles was used a lot for tightening up wrinkles, so now it is only available here on prescription.

Must be why our eyesight gets worse as we age too , harder to see the wrinkles we all seem to dislike so much. I don’t mind mine it’s the deep deep frown line between my eyebrows that I hate so much

Sunglasses work for me too. Not looking at the magnifying side of the mirror also helps.

Thank you Petra
I'm not clever with a needle, so would need to buy..
Perhaps I could add to Christmas list.

leeds22 I agree!
I have a light aversion and wear tinted glasses throughout the day, imho the tint does help with frown lines and elevens, re not squinting in harsh light inside or outside.

My mother's generation used to use egg white to tighten their skin (probably a war time substitute, though).

Surely you can’t get rid of wrinkles whatever you use and does it matter?
Remedies/creams will only smooth them out for as long as you use them, the damage is done, but that’s just aging.

Still if you like using a nice cream, there’s no harm in pampering yourself..

anxiousgran, quite true that you can't get rid of them. Face creams have no lasting benefits but can make our skin feel more moisturised and comfortable.

I do wish I'd kept out of the sun when I was young as it's obviously sun damage. Those parts that are always covered have lovely smooth skin - quite a contrast!

Avon platinum eye smoother is great. But a bit more expensive than £4! I think its generally around £10 to £12. There are a few videos on YouTube showing how it works. It definitely softens and smooths wrinkles and lines without the dry residue of some treatments.

Skin Doctor's Instant Facelift is good and works within 5 minutes. Think its only available online though.

Not a topical cream, as such, but getting good results by taking a daily marine collagen extract tablet.

My wrinkles are noticeably plumped out and less obvious.

Do pn t waste your money none of the creams can rid you of wrinkles Be proud of them every line is a memory of a laugh or a weep… it is your life
Sooner a few wrinkles than a poor face like some of these infamous face lifters, naming no names of course

Apparently Joan Collins and others swear by ointment for piles!

It gives a temporary "tightening" effect.

Haemorrhoid cream works well for puffiness under the eyes, not wrinkles unfortunately.

The best treatment for wrinkles and lines is retinol - the stronger the better. Just remember to test carefully and only apply at night- never in sunlight. Buy from a good source
