Important Note
This homemade cream can help moisturize and soften the skin, making fine lines appear less noticeable due to improved hydration. However, it cannot erase wrinkles, lift sagging skin, or produce results comparable to plastic surgery. If you have sensitive skin, perform a patch test on a small area of your arm 24 hours before applying it to your face.
