Remove with a wet washcloth, in a circular motion.

Mix 6 drops of lavender essential oil with 4 ounces of witch hazel and apply it directly to the skin with your fingers. Carrot Carrots are high in vitamin A, and wrinkles and dry skin have been linked to deficiencies in this vitamin. Eat a carrot or two each day. An even better version of this natural wrinkle treatment is to apply carrot oil directly to the skin, or put a few carrots in the blender, then apply the mush as a facial mask for about 20 minutes. Vitamin C Apply a vitamin C cream or ointment to your skin on a daily basis. Cucumber Cucumbers are also very effective at moisturing the skin.
