Aging causes changes in the appearance of facial skin and volume. Years of facial expression and loss of collagen will contribute to sagging skin problems. While there is the availability of surgical options like a facelift, many individuals are not willing to go under the knife for cosmetic enhancements. This could be due to the fear of surgery, cost, or prolonged downtime. There are many lifting and contouring treatments that induce anti-aging results without the discomfort or downtime of a traditional facelift.
Why skin sags?
Collagen is the basic building block of the skin that is responsible for its overall structure and develops the joint tissue between bones and muscles. The human body produces enough collagen during young age, but aswe get older, there will be a decrease in collagen. This leads to a laxity of the skin and the production of wrinkles and fine lines. The loss of collagen also triggers a decrease of fat under the skin causing sagging skin. Other factors that can lead to the premature development of skin issues are genetics, smoking, aggressive weight gain or loss, prolonged exposure to sun, and consuming processed foods in large quantities.
Can you naturally try to tighten the skin at home?
You may find some DIY home treatments for sagging skin, but the majority of them emphasize only preventative measures. There may be some wise lifestyle changes like quitting smoking, using sunscreen, and proper dietary choices to improve the quality of the skin. There is limited evidence in using these measures for improving the sagging skin issues and effectively tightening the skin. Below are some of the widely used home measures for improving sagging skin issues.
Sunscreen:
Daily application of sunscreen is an easy way to prevent the damage that the sun can cause. Sun damage can increase wrinkles, fine lines and sunspots.
Cell renewal products:
Several cell renewal products that contain retinol, peptides, and growth factors can encourage the development of collagen in the skin. These topical products can only do so much but can be combined with more aggressive treatments to improve skin collagen.
Antioxidants:
Antioxidants function by offering adequate nourishment to the skin and make it able to fight oxidative stress. It has shown positive results in reducing skin inflammation issues while improving the overall quality and health condition.
