The 3 Best Products To Prevent and Treat Wrinkles (Without Botox) | Toxin Free Products To Prevent And Treat Wrinkles

Beauty, Toxin Free

When I was in my late 20’s I started to notice some fine lines across my forehead. They weren’t deep set wrinkles or anything, but I would definitely get self conscious about them. I’d load up on “pore filling” primers to try and smooth out the fine lines, I’d ALWAYS make sure to moisturize, and I felt like I was keeping them at bay for the most part. 

Then one day in Spring of 2020 (at 27 years old), I was taking selfies (like we all do) and I noticed my fine lines BADDDD. (Looking at those pics, they really weren’t awful, I just didn’t expect them on myself. Scroll down for those pics.) 

Because I live a more holistic lifestyle and avoid toxic chemicals whenever possible, Botox has not been an option for me. I have friends who get Botox and they are very happy with their results and I think they look great! But for me personally, I’m not comfortable injecting toxins into my face to avoid wrinkles. I’d rather age gracefully, wrinkle free or not.

The deeper fine lines were definitely a wakeup call though. I needed to start taking better care of my skin and find some natural preventative measures.

Now, I’m 30 and I’m happy to say my fine lines have gotten smoother since that selfie sesh and my skin looks more youthful and better moisturized than in my 20’s!

Keep reading to find out what I’ve been using that has been working to diminish my fine lines and prevent deeper wrinkles!

This is October 2022 after using these methods for over a year!
This is Spring of 2020. Fine lines are much more prominent.

1. Frownies Wrinkle Patches:

Frownies are definitely my #1 recommendation when it comes to preventing wrinkles naturally. They are similar to Botox in that they don’t allow you to move your facial muscles. I wear Frownies at night when I sleep. They more so “train” you to not use your facial muscles as much whereas Botox freezes your facial muscles so you literally can’t move them.

Either way, they prevent wrinkles, they’re non invasive, and they’re cheap! When I started wearing Frownies, I wore them every night for the first month. After that, I went down to every other night, and now I wear them about 2-3 times a week. If you’re going to try any anti-wrinkle product, Frownies are the way to go!

2. Oil:

I’ve been LOVING putting oil on my skin. I apply oil 2-3 times a week after my toner and before my moisturizer at night. Despite common myths, “oil” doesn’t necessarily clog pores and cause acne.

Certain oils like Mineral Oil which is highly processed and toxic are bad for your skin. Other oils such as Jojoba Oil, Argan Oil, even Olive Oil are so moisturizing and they shouldn’t cause you to break out. (If you struggle with breakouts and acne, check out THIS POST. It’s probably not your skincare.)

3. Crunchi Nightlight Facial Cream:

Nightlight has been a game changer in my skincare routine! A little goes such a long way, it’s thick but it doesn’t feel heavy, and I truly believe it has made my fine lines less noticeable!

I LOVE all of Crunchi’s skincare products and my skin has improved so much since switching to them, but if you’re only going to try one of their products, Nightlight is the one I always recommend to people. (Also, I don’t say this because I’m a Crunchi advocate. I became a Crunchi advocate after using their products for months and loving them!)

Keep in mind though that skincare isn’t the only way to prevent wrinkles, nor do I personally think it is the best way. The best way in my opinion to prevent wrinkles and other signs of aging is through diet and lifestyle!

Eating antioxidant and nutrient rich foods, drinking plenty of water, limiting alcohol, getting plenty of sleep, avoiding stress, these all come into play when it comes to preventing signs of aging.

One of the first signs I’m not drinking enough water is my skin starts to look dry and it starts to feel tight. No matter how much I moisturize, the dry feeling does not completely go away until I properly hydrate. Also, when I’ve been eating too much junk, my skin looks dull and I start to breakout.

That’s just appearance though! You have to take into account how your body feels when you eat a certain way or when you don’t get enough sleep or when you’re super stressed out. These aspects effect the way we look much more than any skincare products will!

That being said, have you tried any of these products? Let me know how you like them in the comments! If you have a favorite Toxin Free, Anti-Aging product, leave it in the comments too. I’d love to check it out!

Flea and Tick medication is so toxic to your fur b Flea and Tick medication is so toxic to your fur baby! But fleas and ticks are also horrible for them as well…so what option is there??

I like to use Wondercide on my dog in flea and tick season. Wondercide is low tox and is safe for your pup and you!

The only downside to Wondercide in my opinion is you have to be DILIGENT about applying it. 

My routine for Miss Cammie this summer is the flea and tick collar every time we go outside, the spray once a day, and the spot on after every bath.

Have you ever thought about natural flea and tick prevention?? Let me know! ⬇️

I can literally make multiple meals with these 5 f I can literally make multiple meals with these 5 foods! They’re always great to have on hand when I don’t know what to eat.

For example, I’ll make a smoothie with the frozen fruits and veggies with some eggs for breakfast.

I have oatmeal as a bedtime snack with frozen blueberries.

I can make rice, a salad, and a few eggs for dinner.

What do you always have in your kitchen??

I’ve seen so many toxin free people tell others I’ve seen so many toxin free people tell others to look out for ethoxylated ingredients but no one ever says exactly what ingredients people should be looking out for!

Here is a list of common ethoxylated ingredients I’ve seen on ingredient labels for cosmetics. This is not every single ethoxylated ingredient, but these ones are super common.

Swipe to the last slide for a list of companies that do not use these ingredients in their products! 

Save this list for later!

Women use makeup everyday and use so many differen Women use makeup everyday and use so many different products. Unfortunately, most makeup does contain hormone disrupting chemicals 😩 

While switching your makeup won’t get rid of ALL your hormone issues on its own, it’s an important step to take to help regulate and balance your hormones.

Most hormone disrupting chemicals mimic estrogen. Too much estrogen can cause…
-mood swings 
-heavy periods
-period cramps
-migraines
-weight issues 
& more

My FAVORITE makeup brand that does not contain any hormone disrupting chemicals is Crunchi Cosmetics! There are other brands that are clean too…there is absolutely no reason to use toxic makeup products anymore!

If you want to make the switch to makeup that won’t mess up your hormones, DM me for a link for $10 OFF clean makeup!

It’s always a good day for tea at The Greenbrier It’s always a good day for tea at The Greenbrier! 🍵💕 

I obviously couldn’t miss tea time since I clearly have a tea addiction. And of course I had to show up in some new sustainable fashion!

If you’ve seen my stories recently, I’m done and I mean DONE with fast fashion. Check out my fashion highlight for more deets, but in a nutshell, fast fashion is full of toxic chemicals, plastics, unethical workplaces for workers, and soooo much waste!

I have vowed to myself to stop buying fast fashion and only purchase new items from sustainable, ethical, plastic free companies OR purchase second hand items to cut down on waste.

The dress I’m wearing was originally $218 and I found it new with tags Thredup for $20! 

Let me know where you like to find sustainable clothing! ⬇️

I keep seeing Seint all over social media so I wan I keep seeing Seint all over social media so I wanted to do some digging on their products!

I love the idea of an all in one compact that you can customize to your preferences.

In my opinion, convenience isn’t worth it if the ingredients are toxic! 

Seint uses multiple petroleum based ingredients which can cause c**cer.

Their products also contain phenoxyethanol which is a combination of corrosive phenol with c**cerous ethylene oxide, talc which is usually contaminated with asbestos, and lake dyes which can also lead to c**cer. 

They also don’t do third party testing for heavy metals which means their products could be contaminated with dangerous heavy metals like arsenic and lead! 

There are much better cosmetics options out there that don’t put your health at risk! Personally, I LOVE Crunchi cosmetics. Crunchi uses ecofriendly packaging, ecocert minerals, and their formulas are completely toxin free!
