Reduce sagging facial skin naturally

Along with blemishes and wrinkles, sagging is one of the most troublesome signs of skin ageing. As a general rule, collagen production starts to decline from the age of 25 onwards. When we reach 40, we begin to notice this loss and around the age of 50, the effects on the skin become more pronounced, with a loss of facial contours and firmness, and wrinkles becoming deeper. To stop this from happening, we tell you how to prevent sagging facial skin naturally.

The first thing you should know is that sagging is caused by a loss of firmness and elasticity in the skin due to a decrease in the body’s collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid and muscle fibres, which leads to weakness in the tissues that support the dermis, resulting in a visible loss of facial volume, with skin that is less firm and looks duller and more lacklustre.

Tips on how to reduce sagging facial skin

To combat sagging facial skin naturally and make your skin firmer and smoother, we recommend taking care of your skin on the inside and out by following these steps:

• Protect your skin from the sun. The sun’s rays cause skin damage as a result of oxidative stress, which accelerates the skin’s ageing process.

• Follow a healthy and balanced diet. It is important to include foods with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties in your diet, which provide you with vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, flavonoids, etc., all of which have powerful antioxidant properties that combat premature ageing of the skin. You can boost your diet with food supplements like Keriba Duo, which contains punicalagins and hydroxytyrosol, powerful natural antioxidants.

• Avoid drinking alcohol and smoking. These substances accelerate ageing and slow down the skin cell regeneration process.

• Do exercise, as this generates endorphins and serotonin, the happiness hormones that help to boost your mood and sleep, which is also essential to prevent skin ageing.

• Be positive, because your mood has a direct impact on the appearance of your skin. Avoid stress as it has a negative effect on the appearance of your skin, and try to stay relaxed and happy to delay ageing and the appearance of sagging skin.

• Performing facial massages will help to keep your facial muscles firm. We recommend hot and cold massages: massage your face with small strokes of your fingertips, using contrasting temperatures to speed up the cell regeneration process.

• Perform a thorough daily facial cleanse before going to bed and include antioxidant creams and serums in your beauty routine (this will target the causes of sagging, such as photoageing). Remember to apply them with a gentle massage to help the product penetrate deeper and also activate the dermis.
