Fenugreek
Fenugreek has many health benefits, including treating diabetes and its symptoms, reducing swelling and inflammation, preventing cancer and infections, and aiding digestion. It also happens to be an effective home remedy for wrinkles.
Dry skin is one of the leading causes of wrinkles, as it breaks down skin collagen. Fenugreek contains chemicals that moisturize the skin and fight damage caused by dryness. In addition, the vitamins A and C in fenugreek provide antioxidants that protect against free radical damage, which can lead to wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Fenugreek contains enzymes that break down proteins into amino acids. These proteins protect against moisture loss while helping maintain skin elasticity, even after sun or wind exposure.
The slimy coating on fenugreek seeds is known as mucilage and has been shown to soothe pain from insect bites, rashes, sores, burns, and wounds. This mucilage also speeds up the healing time for cuts and burns on your face when you apply it topically. It helps heal your skin more quickly than if you used nothing.
