Sometimes things like honey, egg whites, vegetable oil, even melted chocloate are used. And articles about these homemade natural wrinkle remedies, it seems, are in every issue of some womens magazines. I don’t get it.   How do I know they don’t work?   It’s because they don’t target the root causes of wrinkles. You disagree? Maybe you have been using a family wrinkle-cure recipe for years and have smooth skin. Well, it’s more likely that you just have great skin genetics, not that your kitchen creation is a natural wrinkle cure.   What are the three root causes of wrinkles?
