^[1]Can you believe the things that women in history did to preserve their youthful beauty?

Women in ancient Egypt, such as Cleopatra, were known to bathe in fresh milk to keep their skin young-looking.

At other times women wore masks made of rejuvenating gemstones such as rose quartz and green opal.

But the most bizarre story might be about Erzsébet Báthory, the 17th century Hungarian countess…

Countess Báthory fell deeply in love with a young nobleman named Istvan. But she became obsessed with the notion that her age was the reason for the failure of their relationship.

Eventually, she became convinced that she could grow younger and maintain youthful skin ^[1] by bathing in the blood of virgins — and she did this ritual daily!

As a smart, 21st century woman, you have no desire to engage in such barbaric behavior…right?

The Modern-Day Beauty Regimen

^[1]True, our anti-aging treatments have become much more humane over the centuries.

Still, they’re not exactly pleasant…

Hundreds of thousands of people actually have their wrinkles injected with a poison manufactured by the bacteria Clostridium — which is so deadly that infected people usually die from the toxins.

That “poison,” of course, has another name — Botox.

Unless you’ve been hibernating for the last decade, you probably know that this injectable drug has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for de-aging the skin.

And both women and men ranging in age from mid-20s to late-80s flock to cosmetic dermatologists’ and aesthetic physicians’ offices to get injected.

But if you’re not willing to inject unhealthy toxins into your body (and pay $500 to $2,000 for a Botox treatment every 4 months) and cosmetic surgery is not an option, here are two safe and easy secrets to looking younger ^[1]…

Secret #1: Give Yourself an At-Home Acupressure “Facelift” ^[1]

Day-to-day living (including exposure to the elements, air pollution, devitalized food, insufficient sleep and stress) wear on your skin and contribute to you looking fatigued and tired.

When your skin and its underlying tissues are fatigued…

Lines and wrinkles appear prematurely and tend to make you look older than you actually are.

You can use this acupressure technique to maintain your youthful appearance and prevent the onset of premature aging.
Even better — this simple “facelift” can be done right from your own home.

Have you heard of acupuncture? It’s generally regarded as a form of therapy — but many are not aware that it’s also a technique of beautifying the physical body.

This technique is used with the application of pressure on the acupuncture points (without needles) that produces a similar kind of stimulation and rejuvenation effect on the skin.

How to Do the Acupressure Facelift Technique:

1.  Familiarize yourself with the acupressure points (refer to image below for points – the points are mirrored on the other side of your face)

2.  Use your fingertip to stimulate each acupressure point

3.  Pressure ^[1]the point with your fingertip (with a medium pressure) in a small circular clockwise movement for 30 seconds.

4.  After doing the acupressure technique slap your face lightly several times. This will stimulate and tighten the muscles of your face.

5.  Rub your hands vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds until you feel the warm energy in your palms.

6.  Lay your hands on your face for a few seconds and feel the energy being absorbed into your face.

7.  Do this rapidly for a total of 30 cycles.

That is one secret that many don’t know about, and will give you positive results.

You can maximize the benefits of this unique technique by incorporating it into your skincare routine.

Secret #2 – Use an Anti-Aging Product with the Right Ingredients

Some skincare companies use low-grade, inorganic acids, which appear to refine your skin on a short-term basis.

^[1]

Yet over time these acids thin the outer layer of your skin, making it unable to perform like young skin.

There are 3 anti-aging ingredients that you need to know about that deliver impressive skin transforming results:

1. Argireline® NP

This powerful peptide has been nicknamed “topical Botox.”

It mimics the results of Botulinum Toxin (Botox), but unlike Botox, which is an injectable toxin that paralyzes muscles, this peptide relaxes them.

It has been shown to reduce the depth of existing facial wrinkles an average of 27 percent in just 30 days.

^[1]2. Plant Stem Cells

If you’re over 30, your own skin’s stem cells begin slowing down.

Plant stem cells are clinically validated to replicate themselves into specific cells that replace damaged cells. This regenerative property halts skin aging and restores it to its youthful glow.

3. Teprenone

This is an amazing anti-aging substance discovered by a Nobel Prize-winning team of scientists.

It prevents the end caps of DNA strands from shortening, thereby extending the lifespan of the skin by up to 30 percent. ^[1]

Forget painful injections or expensive surgery… 

Now you know that there are simpler tools to deal with aging skin.
