I'm going to hit you with a 'chicks trick" re: facial problems here Wim that complements homeopathy!
Dear Girlrwoman,
The topical treatments I have found, (being 49, turning 50 in 4mths time and without blowing my own trumpet, I DO NOT look my age - I don't do I Wim???) to be the best for wrinkles, facial scars/marks, bag under your eyes, loose skin and all the other facial stuff that goes with ageing/damage etc, is Evening Primrose Oil and Witch Hazel (yes, I know Wim, it is Hamamelis!).
I have tried the Evening Primrose oil (Star Flower oil is equally good and often cheaper) that comes in a small bottle but have found breaking open the more concentrated oil capsules to be much more beneficial. I do the Witch Hazel and the Primrose thingy nearly every single night. You have to wash your face with warm water, do the Witch Hazel, leave to dry then lather the Primose quite thickly around the above and below eye areas, less thickly everywhere else and leave it to soak in overnight. Wash off well in morning with plain warm water and leave your face 'au naturel all day'.
Now where did the word 'witch' come into being re: hamamelis? (the feminist side in me arises as I know the 'healing profession' was hijacked in the Middle Ages by males, led by the patriarchal Catholic Church, where any woman who claimed to, was seen to be, or was accused of witchcraft was murdered - in fact history now shows that there was almost an act of gendered genocide of women who were murdered for their historically-based healing abilities - was hamamelis one of their 'secret remedies?).
I digress...sorry...
Anyway, this regime costs a fraction of the price that stupid beauty companies charge for facial creams (puke) and I guarantee that within a week or two, your face will be immensely improved.
