I made a tea with cleavers. I just made sort of an infusion in a pint canning jar, strained it and put it in the fridge. Dip your washcloth into the tea and rinse your face with the tea solution at room temperature (or cold). Cleavers at as a skin tightener, so in reality, reduces wrinkles and lifts up the skin naturally.
Some people may have a bad reaction to this facial wash, so try a small area at first. If you use fresh cleavers in you tea (not recommended for this), you have greater chance a having a skin reaction.
I used this tea for 2 straight weeks and feel and see a difference. I also used it cold on my face, and it felt great in the heat of summer.

I embrace my wrinkles and there is nothing that will prevent you from getting older with all it's surprises! LOL! Good luck with that! I especially think it is funny that some women spend so much money on anti-aging stuff. They probably do age more gracefully but they still age. You're smart to use things that nature provides.
I'm reminded of how differently people perceive 'weeds' every time I am faced with the wall-to-wall purslane in my raised beds. It sells for $12 a pound in the city. While I do tend to leave some in - I love it in salads in the spring - I am yoinking it out left and right all summer!
Sam I am, it does help tighten the skin, but you are right about wrinkles.
Susan, I had tons of purslane last year, but nothing here so far. I'm hoping to get some if it ever rains here.
