There are many treatments for fine lines – most appear to be more like forms of  torture – however Emu oil can be used as a natural alternative to Botox, face peels and other nasty abrasive treatments.

Over time our skin begins to change and the signs of aging begin to take shape. Sometimes we notice fine lines and wrinkles, age spots and pigmentation or even our skin losing its spark.

There is a lot of pressure placed on women in particular to look a certain way or to hide her age. Many women therefore feel the need to undertake quite painful procedures, opening them up to many side effects. And let’s not mention the ridiculous price these procedures cost.

Although there is nothing wrong with wanting to protect your skin or to soothe it back into care after years out in the sun, we think there’s a natural and positive way to help reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Traditionally seen solely as a treatment for arthritis or sore muscles, Emu oil has many advantages as a skin treatment. The primary reason Emu oil helps smooth and reduce the appearance of fine lines is due to  its anti-inflammatory properties which can effectively restore and heal your skin. Emu Oil promotes skin renewal and improves skin elasticity because it contains naturally occurring Essential Omega Fatty Acids 3,6, and 9 (which help your body maintain healthy skin, hair and nails). These qualities help rejuvenate your skin by restoring damaged skin and promoting skin hydration.

Furthermore, Emu oil can also help reduce puffiness under the eye and many find it a useful treatment to combat acne, pimples, pigmentation, and scarring (particularly acne scars)

One of the best things about Emu oil is that it is both hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic (non pore clogging) and is suitable for practically everyone.

So, how do you use Emu oil to treat fine lines? First, keep in mind that Emu oil will not reduce fine lines overnight. Like most things, consistent use is going to be most beneficial. Try massaging Emu Spirit Oil of Emu into your face nightly or around your eyes (much like an intensive night serum) then dab excess oil with a cotton pad. You can also take Emu oil internally (orally) which will help transform your skin and its appearance from the inside out.

Emu oil has also been credited by the likes of Oprah and Susan Sarandon as a product that keeps them feeling and looking good.

It’s a cliché but its true: it won’t happen overnight but it will happen.
