There is a lot of collagen in human skin, which makes the skin look very smooth and tender. As we age, the collagen content will decrease, causing the skin to become loose. What can we do about this? How can we prevent sagging skin? How to identify whether the skin is loose? Let’s take a look with Women’s Network:

Understanding Skin Sagging Skin sagging is a phenomenon in which the skin sags due to insufficient elasticity of elastic fibers caused by the loss of collagen in the skin. It is an important indicator of skin aging. There are three levels of skin laxity:

Check your skin laxity:

After cleaning your face in the morning, prepare a movable mirror of appropriate size and observe your skin by doing the following three actions:

1. Look up first, hold up the mirror and observe your facial skin

2. Lower your head and look at your face in the mirror

3. Finally, look straight ahead and observe your skin in the mirror normally.

If your facial skin is tighter when you raise your head or look down than when you look straight ahead, it means that your skin has begun to sag noticeably. If the skin condition is very similar in the three situations, it means the skin is firm.

What to do if your skin is loose

When skin sagging is in the primary or intermediate stages, emergency skin care can restore the skin's firmness. Once the skin on the cheekbones begins to sag, even careful care and conditioning can only slow down the rate of skin sagging and improve the sagging state. It is impossible to make the skin as firm as an apple again. Therefore, all adjustments are best performed when the skin begins to loosen.

Provides sufficient moisture to the skin. Adequate water can keep skin cells active, increase the resistance of the stratum corneum, and make the skin tissue structure plump and elastic.

After the age of 25, you should use facial masks regularly to replenish essence for your skin and slow down the aging of your skin. After the age of 25, various nutrients in the skin are gradually lost and need to be replenished in time. Facial masks or skin care essences containing nourishing and moisturizing ingredients can help the skin quickly absorb nutrients and slow down the aging of skin cells.

Avoid bad habits such as staying up late, smoking, and drinking. Bad living habits directly affect skin cells and make them look old. Try to eat less high-fat foods. When high-fat foods enter the body, they produce a large number of free radicals, which accelerate skin aging.

Massage acupoints to improve skin sagging

Forehead: Use the tips of your index and middle fingers to gently massage in circles starting from the center of your forehead and moving from bottom to top. When massaging the center of the eyebrows, first use the index and middle fingers of one hand to gently open the center of the eyebrows, and move the other hand up and down.

Cheeks: Use the index fingers of both hands to press the highest point of the cheekbones, and shape your mouth as if you are saying "O". Then gently relax your fingers and shape your mouth as if you are saying "E". Repeat each step 30 times.

Around the mouth: Place the four fingers except the thumb at the corners of the mouth with the back of the hand facing outwards, and make the "O" and "E" sounds in sequence with your mouth. Repeat each step 10 times.

Emergency Response

Skin sagging is caused by changes in skin cells and elastic fibers in the skin. It is difficult to recover quickly in a short period of time, but in an emergency, collagen supplementation or a firming mask can slightly improve the condition of skin sagging.

Don’t worry about sagging skin, there are ways to save it. But if a 50-year-old has sagging skin, it will never look like the skin of a person in their 20s. As you age, the amount of collagen decreases, which is an inevitable process.
