Coconut water for wrinkles – a little known secret weapon!

Not all of the best wrinkle products have to cost a fortune, as there are many remedies you can use that require products that you can easily get at your local grocery store without paying a lot. One of the best home remedies I have found to reduce wrinkles includes drinking coconut water or applying a mixture of coconut water and lemon juice to your face, resulting in smoother skin.

Coconut water is the liquid found inside a young green coconut, not coconut milk. Most people prefer to wear the ones with some age spots. It has been shown to be effective in reducing wrinkles and sagging skin, as well as slowing down the aging process. Research also suggests that consuming coconut water can produce an anti-aging effect throughout the body, reducing the risk of developing age-related and degenerative diseases.

What’s in there

It is made up of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, carbohydrates, antioxidants, enzymes, and other phytonutrients. It is also a great source of magnesium and calcium.

How does it help with wrinkles?

Coconut water contains plant growth hormones, particularly cytokinins. Cytokinins regulate growth and aging and are also known as anti-aging hormones. In plants, they are responsible for regulating cell division and the rate at which plants age. The good news is that they have the same anti-aging effect on human cells and tissues.

One of the main causes of wrinkles and sagging of the skin is due to the breakdown of the connective tissues of the skin, this connective tissue gives the skin its strength and elasticity.

When cytokinins are applied to the skin, they stimulate connective tissue cell division that replaces older, damaged tissue with younger tissue. The result is that on the surface of the skin, wrinkles will begin to smooth out. In addition, dry and aging skin is replaced by softer and smoother skin.

Coconut water is inexpensive and provides numerous health benefits, if you decide to buy in the store be sure to visit the refrigerated section as they are perishable. Also, be sure to look and see if your anti-aging products contain this wonderful ingredient.
