Who doesn't want to look younger, raise your hand? Ah ha - we thought so! Everyone loves the look of youth - even when you're young!

For those of us who can't afford pricey wrinkle injections or plastic surgery, there is hope! In fact, if you follow these 3 QWIK and easy steps you can temporarily take years off your appearance in just minutes! So what are you waiting for... it's a natural wrinkle treatment you can use right now!

1. Steam your skin! Yes, we know - steaming is what you do to deep clean skin and pores. But I'll bet you didn't know that steaming can also temporarily relax facial wrinkles and plump skin with additional moisture that can take years off your appearance! To steam your face, simply boil some water, and when it's bubbling, remove the pot from the stove, ( or turn the burner off) cover your head with a terry cloth towel forming a "tent" over the pot, and then place your face about 6 inches away, letting the steam reach your skin. Remain under the "tent" for about five minutes. For a super skin treatment, add some green tea to the water before boiling.

One caution: If your skin is sensitive do not put your face too close to the steam - it could burn your skin. Remain at least 6 " or more from the pot.

2. Lock It In! Apply moisturizer while your skin is still wet and steamy. This will lock the plumpness created by the steam in, so your skin will retain that relaxed, line-free look for several hours -or more.

3. Firm It Up! For extra staying power: Apply a skin -tightening gel like Loreal RevitaLift Double Lifting Intense Re-Tightening Gel plus Anti-Wrinkle Treatment - 1 Oz or a combination tightening/priming gel such as Garnier Nutritioniste Ultra Lift Serum, 1.7-Ounce Bottle These products will help keep your newly plumped skin looking firm and younger looking longer.

BONUS: Steaming will also help plump your lips and remove some of the fine vertical lines that can be aging. To keep the plump going, be sure to put on a moisturizing balm right after steaming ( try Kiehl's - Lip Balm #1, Palmers Cocoa Butter Moisturizing Lip Balm SPF 15 or Burt's Bees Lip Balm Beeswax Tube ) then top with a sheer lip gloss in shades of rose or pink, or a natural brown tone, but only if the color is very sheer.

For a natural look we love Revlon Skinlights Glosslights for Lips, 04 Topaz Skin Lights Gloss Lights ( under $5.00!) .

For a fabulous pink gloss nothing beats: Isadora Pump 'N Plump Lip Gloss in Sweet Lychee.

And here's the best part: You can use your natural anti-aging skin steam as often as you like - and, the more you do it, the more relaxed your facial lines will get - and the more plumping moisture your skin will retain!
