Sagging Skin
As we age, sagging skin becomes more and more of
a problem. The skin on our face begins to loose elasticity and facial
muscles are no longer able to hold facial skin in place. This results is the
development of lines, wrinkles, and eventually deep folds. Often times the
process begins with delicate lines such as expression lines, brow lines, and
mild crow’s feet and later develops into more unsightly sagging in the
entire face.
In the past, the only way to reverse this
effect has been with expensive cosmetic surgery, painful toxin injections,
and harsh chemical peels. Each of these comes with a long list of
potentially serious side effects. Add to that a price tag that is
prohibitive for the vast majority of the population and it is easy to see
why so many people look to alternative treatments for dealing with saggy
skin. But when it comes to skin repair and care, NATURAL methods are
BEST.
Preventing Saggy Skin
The best way to deal with saggy skin is to
ensure that you take an active and natural approach to skin care and follow a few simple
steps to help prevent the early onset of facial sagging. Here are some tips
to help keep your skin firm:
1. Keep Properly Hydrated.
It is important for adults to drink at least 8
full glasses of water a day. Water is your skins natural cleansing system.
Water constantly works to flush away toxins and waste products to keep your
skin soft and healthy.
2. Protect Yourself From the Sun
Sun damage is one of the leading causes of
premature saggy skin and facial wrinkles. Always apply a sunscreen with an
SPF rating of at least 15 if you plan on being outdoors for more than 30
minutes. Your sunscreen is one of your most powerful weapons against saggy
skin and aging spots.
3. Don’t Smoke
Avoid smoking at all costs. If you are
currently a smoker, do whatever it takes to quit – permanently. Smoking
actively increases the signs of aging and can increase your risk of
developing sagging skin significantly.
4. Keep Your Skin Clean
Never go to bed with make up on. This will
lead to increased stress on your skin and can cause pores to clog and become
infected. Be sure to wash your entire face daily with a
gentle cleanser. The
key here is not to rub, scrape, or be overly abrasive in the process. As
with most things in life, moderation is the key to achieving favorable long
term results.
5. Take in natural foods and beverages and
health building supplements such as Herbal Extracts that have a huge impact
on your skin!
6. Use only natural moisturizing products that are plant based and that contain NO CHEMICALS AND MINERAL OIL as these are very harmful to your skin. A nutritious and rich cream that can penetrate the 7 layers of skin to build repair deep down is BEST!
