As a child, I grew up in the middle of nowhere. My mother was (and still is) very interested in the use of natural ingredients as remedies as well as for every day food (which I typically didn’t like).

Jewelweed was almost a staple in our home (because of the abundance of poison ivy nearby). I know for a fact that it works, because I’ve used it many, many times.

Burt’s Bees also uses jewelweed in the Poison Ivy Soap

It’s only $6.00!

I’ve actually not had Poison Ivy in many years, but based on the list of ingredients, it would be the first thing I’d reach for if I went home and the rash appeared.

In addition to the jewelweed, my mother also used comfrey in a salve of her own making. We used the salve for everything from chapped lips to scrapes and cuts. It worked! She’s since moved on to a career where she doesn’t have time to make her fabulous salve, but I’m certain she’d use Burt’s Res-Q-Ointment with comfrey to aid in her healing time.

This product’s only $5.00!

Some of the reason for the lack of expense is the size of the product. The products are made from mostly natural ingredients, because of this, their made in a size that will be used before the ingredients expire.

You can find something that you’ll be able to use from Burt’s Bees website. I think you’ll be happy you did.

In the past, women used to use facial tapes and chin straps to keep them from getting wrinkles. For those of you who are old enough to remember (or just like old movies like me), if you recall Norma Desmond in the movie Sunset Boulevard in her bedroom all trussed up, that was actually quite common with women in the Hollywood set.

I personally believe in chin straps (as you’re suggested to use one after plastic surgery to keep everything from falling). I don’t use one (but probably should).

Here’s something fairly new that doesn’t require any special routine to slow down the wrinkle process, other than something that you’re already doing every day…sleeping!
