Remedies For Getting Rid Of Wrinkles: Preventing Fine Lines, Dry Skin, and Aging Skin
Skin Care Tips after 40
By Scarlett Olson, Founder of SOCO Botanicals
After I turned 26, I was living in Vail, Colorado, the 'Sunshine State". I developed some wrinkles and dark sunspots on my face, especially on my forehead, cheeks, and above my lips. I assumed I was just getting to that age that I needed to pay attention to my skin.
I asked a friend's mom who had gorgeous flawless skin in her 60's what skin cream she used and I thought to myself, "I'll do whatever she's doing".
She told me to use face oil instead of cream. She taught me about oils: how they don’t clog pores, how they soak into the skin, and how different oils offer different benefits. Some oils are high in natural SPF, others help reduce sunspots. Many are antioxidant, others are cancer fighting and several oils encourage collagen production. I learned about CoQ10, which is an amazing ingredient that helps to reduce sun spots, and I set out to create the perfect face oil blend for wrinkle reduction and reducing sun spots.
The main causes of wrinkles and aging skin:
#1 Decreased oil production in skin:
As we age, the skin begins to be more dense, dry and less elastic. As the skin begins to lower its natural oil production, your skin can get dryer and less plump. Dryer, older skin leads to what are called “sticky cells” which are skin cells that get stuck together and are not as flexible or hydrated as they were during youth. This is why an oil based moisturizer is the most important skin care product you will ever use.
#2 Ultraviolet (UV) rays can cause the skin to wrinkle.
UV exposure speeds up the aging process of the body. Exposure to UV rays breaks down the connective tissue of the skin, collagen, and elastin fibers which are found in the deeper layers of the skin. Without these fibers and collagen, the skin begins to lose flexibility and strength. As a result, the skin begins to wrinkle and sag prematurely.
#3 Toxins in your skincare and environment
It is difficult to avoid many of the environmental toxins that are affecting our skin and health. Preservatives, harmful skincare ingredients like sodium benzoate and oxybenzone, air pollution, toxic molds, toxic building materials in your home- these pollutants age us from the inside out. However, if you can eat a healthy organic whole foods diet as well as choose nontoxic products you for home and skin, you'll help your body to process and eliminate the toxins that weigh your immune system down.
4 Remedies For Getting Rid of Wrinkles:
1. Use a high quality face oil moisturizer.
Face oil replenishes the moisture your skin needs to stay hydrated. Face oil delivers vitamins and nutrients to the deeper layers of the skin better than cream does, locks in moisture and softens the tiny lines and creases.
“Facial oils are an excellent way to get antioxidants and vitamins quickly into the skin. Oils are absorbed quickly, and soften the appearance of fine lines.” -Celebrity Dermatologist, Dr. Gervaise Gerstner
2. Sea Buckthorn Oil: Sea Buckthorn oil is a natural oil from the fruit and berries of a plant grown in the Himalayas. In studies it is clinically proven to heal damaged skin and contains 12 times the Vitamin C of oranges. It is naturally high in Vitamin A & C which both help to increase skin cell regeneration. It also is known to be high in Essential Fatty Acids which help reduce wrinkles.
Are Essential Oils Good For Wrinkles?
Neroli Essential Oil:
One of the most skin repairing essential oils, Neroli essential oil is known to bring hydration to the skin, reduce inflammation & redness, and prevent wrinkle formation.
Helichrysum Essential Oil:
Known as the "Immortelle" oil for skin, this highly prized oil has been used for centuries for helping with wrinkles. It is a powerful anti-inflammatory oil as well as antimicrobial. Recent studies even show that Helichrysum may show promise to prevent cancerous tumor formation.
3. Coenzyme Q10: The International Journal of Cosmetic Science published a study recently that showed that CoQ10 helped to prevent UV damage and reduce sun spots. It penetrates deeply into the skin, providing biological energy to the cells, which boosts collagen production. Topical CoQ10 is quickly absorbed right into the skin where the skin needs it the most.
4. Red Raspberry Seed Oil
Use a face oil that contains Red Raspberry Seed Oil. Red Raspberry Seed Oil contains natural SPF that protects the skin from sun damage as well as antioxidants that protect the skin cells.

There is only one face oil blend that has a concentrated blend of Red Raspberry Seed Oil, Pomegranate, CoQ10, Sea Buckthorn, Helichrysum and Neroli with very high concentrations: SOCO Symphony Anti Aging Elixir. Most other face oil blends have watered down versions of these essential ingredients.

This is the best serum I've ever purchased, and I highly recommend it if you have dry skin. Wouldn’t be without it!! My skin is becoming drier as I age and effective moisturizers are hard to find. This serum absorbs extremely well into my dry skin and keeps my face feeling nice and moisturized, not oily. I use it twice daily and always have a backup so I don't run out! If you need moisture to keep you glowing, this one's for you!!!

A wonderful moisturizer! I was initially skeptical about using an oil for a facial moisturizer, but decided to try it: the reviews were favorable and I am a big fan of essential oils. What a wonderful surprise! I have been using the product for two months and love it. The oil absorbs quickly with no greasy feeling and has made my skin soft, and younger feeling and looking. I now recommend this to friends, family and coworkers. Thank you for such a healthy and effective product.
