As we get older, our skin often starts to sag. This happens because our skin slows down its production of collagen, a protein that helps keep our skin firm, and elastin, a fiber that keeps our skin flexible. Losing weight can also cause skin sagging because when we lose weight quickly, our skin can’t pull back fast enough, leading to droopiness.
Even after working hard to lose weight, sometimes we’re left with saggy skin. Don’t worry, I’ve got some tips on how to take care of saggy skin:
1. Use natural skin products:
Always nourish your skin with essential vitamins like E and C, and consider using copper peptides too. These vitamins can heal your skin and reduce signs of aging, thanks to their antioxidant properties that help tighten the skin and remove toxins.
Look out for creams that have copper peptides. Using these routinely can significantly reduce skin sagging. LifeCell, an anti-aging cream, seems promising based on its reviews.
2. Exercise consistently:
Moving your body not only keeps you healthy but can also tighten your skin. Although skin doesn’t have muscles, it sits on top of them, and as you shape these underlying muscles through exercise, your skin can appear firmer. You can use weights to target specific body parts, like underarms that are prone to sagging.
3. Use egg whites on your skin:
The whites of eggs contain something called hydrolipids, which can help tighten skin and reduce fine lines under the eyes. You can whip up an egg white until it foams and apply it to areas where your skin sags for best results. Yogurt or lemon juice can be mixed in for an extra boost.
4. Apply Aloe Vera:
Aloe Vera has malic acid, known for improving skin elasticity. It’s also a great natural moisturizer and skin soother. You can apply it directly to your skin for the best results.
5. Use lemon on your skin:
Lemons are packed with Vitamin C which helps produce collagen, essential for skin elasticity. They also contain natural astringent properties which help tighten the skin and slow down the aging process. For best results, apply lemon juice on your face and skin, let it sit for 10 minutes then rinse it off. Do this three times a day.
6. Eat Cucumbers:
Cucumbers are mostly water and can help give your skin a healthy glow. For a nice skin boost, you can grate it and mix it with yogurt to make a face mask. Some people prefer to add lemon juice or egg whites for added benefits.
To get the best results, stick to these routines consistently. But remember, regular exercise is a great way to tighten skin and keep healthy overall. Not only do you reduce the chances of getting sick, but you can also improve the look and feel of your skin.
