5 Anti-Aging Beauty Secrets From Around the World

1. South Africa — Smooth a crepey décolletage with baobab oil.

To ward off UV damage, South African ladies reach for their native baobab oil. Its fatty acids hydrate and its antioxidants protect against damaging rays so chest skin is soft, supple, and crease free. 

TRY IT: Massage three drops of baobab oil onto the neck and chest for one minute. Use once a day for a youthful décolletage in two weeks.

2. Japan — Add volume to hair with matcha. 

Japanese women thicken tresses with green tea. Its antioxidants prolong hair's growth phase, and its vitamin B strengthens strands to nix breakage. 

TRY IT: Mix one tablespoon of match powder with one tablespoon of water. Rub onto the scalp, then comb through to ends; rinse after 30 minutes. Use three times a week to see noticeable results in 30 days.

3. Australia — Fade stretch marks with yarrow extract.

In Australia, women swear by yarrow extract to reduce pesky lines. Its compounds and fatty acids promote healthy cell turnover to reveal smooth, new skin. Plus, its vitamin C boosts collagen production to "fill" lines fast. 

TRY IT: Apply three drops of yarrow extract onto marks. Repeat daily for noticeable results in four weeks.

4. Israel — Hydrate dry skin with dead sea mud.

A go-to for Israeli women, the mud's minerals reduce roughness and inflammation while drawing moisture and nutrients into the skin's layers to alleviate dryness, says beauty expert Shalini Vadhera, author of Passport to Beauty ($12.21, Amazon). 

TRY IT: While showering, turn off the water and rub mud onto skin; rinse after 10 minutes. Use twice a week for results in two weeks.

TRY IT: Mix 1/2 cup of kelp powder, 1/2 cup of water, and three drops of almond oil. Rub onto arms and cover with plastic wrap; rinse after 30 minutes. Use twice a week for results in three weeks.
