Interesting to read about people's home made recipes for skincare,so I thought I would contribute to the dicussion and give my own.I'm not saying it's any better than others but it worked for me.Mine is not actually home made-more a combination of a natural product and a commmercial one. In the morning I slap on a lot of Aloe Vera gel to moisturise,sooth,and repair damaged skin cells,and when that has soaked in,I put a good covering of Renova Retin-A to 'plump up' the skin and make it less shrivelled. Aloe Vera I take straight from the plant by scraping out the leaf-I believe its more potent if It's fresh from the live plant.Renova Retin-a I get cheap and fresh from westcoastdrugs.com
