| Re: Stevia, a sweet wrinkle reducer?
Mony just used the liquid stevia I have. Wow you are right it is very "lifting" I put it around my eyes and quickly gently pulled my eye upward and it gave a lift. You are right it is sort like a liquid cement. Even if temporary for a day it will give a nice lift if you are about to have photos taken etc. It truly is amazing just how sweet this stuff is. I have 2 plants and next year I hope to experiment with it. Maybe boil down some leaves and make a tonic/toner for the face and see what happens.

The credit needs to go to Tigerlily, she put this on a thread I just decided to read it and try it, it seemed like a ( cheap facelift!) to me. Nothing to loose but 5 $ for the stevia so THANK YOU VERY MUCH TIGERLILY!!!!! This is a keeper of any idea in my books!

| Re: Stevia, a sweet wrinkle reducer?
I did it yesterday but I have the powder. I tried to dilute it in some distilled water, but it doesn't mix w/distilled water very well! LOL! So I will have to play around with it as well. I did just kinda smear it on my face and it was very tightening, so maybe it worked out okay after all. And the best part is, every time I licked my lips, I got that sweet fix!!

Well, I just heard about it from a friend. It wasn't like I researched it...just willing to be a guinea pig for it...
But YOUR recipe is interesting....See all I had on hand (had it on hand before I even heard about putting on your face) was the liquid Stevia. I'm going to have to try your thicker paste method with the dry Stevia. I like what the liquid did to my skin, but I want to see what a thicker paste will do. My liquid Stevia is more like a 'glaze' than a mask...if that makes sense??? (Think lightly glazed donut...)

Mine turned out thick like wall paper paste- but be warned if you want to have a smoke or drink- start to puker up first before it dries- you won't get to move your lips after 5 minutes.....Yep like wallpaper paste. BUt I really do like the results!

I use two packets equlavent to two teaspoons of Stevia and about a half to a quarter teaspoon of hot water. Today I just did a dermabrassion first now got the goop on my face as I type!

| Re: Stevia, a sweet wrinkle reducer?
I guess I'm doing pretty darn good, I can't see any more lines except for one tinsy wincy one! (of course! there has gotta be one right?) But it did make a Huge difference doing the dermabrassion before I put the goop on. In case anyone wants to try it! My skin is sensitive, and I'm prone to cystic acnee but so far so good!

No gailin I don't but I noticed these bags under my chin, reminds me of a blood hound-(Jouls I guess you call them) working on that; it is working good though, and I'm a pretty tough critic

Gotcha...Cool. Next time I go grocery shopping, I'm putting the dried Stevia on the list....However...
I'm still liking what the liquid Stevia does. It definitely does a little tightening and gives me a glow. No doubt about it. (I put it on my neck and the back of my hands too)...
I can't wait to try the wall paper paste version. I'll bet it packs a bigger punch than the liquid.  Yay! I'm excited. Thanks, Mony!

| Re: Stevia, a sweet wrinkle reducer?
Okay. I just did the hot water instead of the distilled water and it works MUCH better. I also got the wallpaper paste consistency. You must spread it on fast! It dries really fast and becomes unmanageable to work with. BUT it really does work. WOW did I get tight. I left it on for 40 minutes and when I washed it off, it got in my eyes and does it ever burn! Do not get it in your eyes. My eyes are still bloodshot! It stung like a bad word. And yes, Mony, you can't move anything while it's on. It was hard to blink! LOL!

Awesome! I'm definitely going tomorrow and getting the dry Stevia...I'm so glad this works for some...I know I'm not a RICH woman, so I can't afford a lot of fanciness, but I'm a VAIN woman, so I want to look good too...
