To maintain smooth skin, you need to shower it with attention, creams, scrubs and at-home remedies. Here are a few that you can use:

Apply a banana-milk paste to your face and leave it on for 20 minutes. You could also make an egg white and honey mixture to be left on for 20 minutes. If you don’t want to get knee-deep in preparation, rub a piece of papaya on your face for 15 minutes. Always rinse the remedies off with cool water.

Exfoliate at least once per week. Skin becomes dull and accumulates on your face as you age. A quality facial scrub removes the dead skin cells, leaving your face feeling softer and looking better. Use a daily facial moisturizer. Apply a night cream to your face every evening. There are many brands that can repair damaged skin, renew the skin, slow the rate of cell aging, soften wrinkles, and provide the skin with rich nutrients. You want a cream that contains shea butter, avocado oil, or active manuka honey.

In addition, do a facial exercise to soften your expression lines, revitalize your skin and prevent more wrinkles. Tighten and slacken your smile, forehead and cheeks by moving your facial muscles repeatedly for a few minutes. The exercise will smooth away wrinkles.

Also, watch what you eat. A diet with too much starch and fat causes cellular ageing due to a high glycemic index. Instead, digest foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and fibre. (eHow)
