An Inexpensive, Natural Wrinkle Remover - From the Dairy Case?
  • Right BrainRight Brain
    Here's an email from Michelle. It was too long to print in the blog so we thought we'd share it in the forum. We'll be posting the answer to her question on Wednesday.

    Ok, I am 54 years young, when I was 22 I read an article, sent in by a
    reader to a health magazine. In it she mentioned that she was advised to
    use buttermilk for a rash she developed on her face. To her surprise, not
    only did the rash dissapear, she noticed that many of her wrinkles did
    also. And so did her friends. That sold me, and I have been using
    buttermilk on my face every since then. There is no question that my skin
    looks much younger than women my age. I often get comments and compliments
    about my skin from complete strangers. I have also stayed out of the sun
    and don't smoke. I know these can cause wrinkles. I have had people tell me
    that the buttermilk is not the reason. But I know this.....I won't ever be
    without it. Today I also use pricey beauty products like ReVive and
    Origins. And I like them too, but I just add them to my beauty regemin
    which includes a splash of buttermilk after washing AM and PM. Massage it
    in using upward strokes, for a minute or two, towel off, then apply
    moisturizer or serum of choice. I can send you a photo of me with no
    makeup if you like. Thanks for your response.

    The only way you'll know if your great skin is a result of the buttermilk is if you stop using it. I can understand that you don't want to do that and, since buttermilk is much less expensive than La Mer, there's not much reason to but you may just have great skin. I come from a long line of women with great skin. They've all got their "secret ingredient" that they swear is responsible for it but the bottom line is, it's genetic and the Dorothy Grey cold cream/hemorrhoid ointment/bacon fat/motor oil that they smear on their face religiously every night probably doesn't make a difference either way. That said, I might just try it  because so many women swear by milk as a skin treatment (allegedly, Cleopatra bathed in it.) and it's cheap.
