As we age, our skin structure changes. By the age of 30, our bodies start losing collagen, and when we reach 40, most of us will experience a loss of tone, volume & elasticity visibly due to many factors.
Sagging Skin – Wrinkles & Fine Lines
There are many factors that diverse our ways of aging, including genes, surroundings, environments, and lifestyle – just to name a few. Some of the most fundamental aging signs are wrinkles & fine lines, aging skin & loss of volume. Sagging skin is caused by a decrease in volume-giving cells.
What causes sagging skin?
As we cannot do much with our genes, an alternative approach for us to slow down the aging process is to improve our lifestyle. By knowing what causes aging signs, especially sagging skin, we will know how to avoid doing them.
Changes in hormone
Before 25, our skin is smooth, elastin & tends to have more defined contours. From 25 and above, skin starts to lose its texture, elasticity & experience a decrease in volume-giving cells.
Sun exposure
Even though most of us know that UV rays are extremely harmful to our bodies, not a lot of us know how exactly dangerous they are – and what exactly damages they make. Extreme sun exposure can damage skin collagen, and cause photoaging & hyperpigmented/ melasma skin.
Smoking
Nicotine and other chemicals in cigarettes reduce skin collagen as well.
TREATMENT: How to cure sagging skin, wrinkles & other aging signs?
Using products that contain volume-giving solutions
Include anti-aging dermatological products in your daily skincare routine, using products formulated to treat aging skin with loss of volume, elasticity, and collagen will help give sagging skin the care it needs.
Below are some ingredients you can look for in a product that will give your aging skin the necessary nourishments & rejuvenates your skin.
Collagen
Collagen is a protein made up of amino acids, which are in turn built of carbon, oxygen & hydrogen. Collagen contains specific amino acids – Glycine, Proline, Hydroxy Proline & Arginine.
Collagen makes up approximately 25% of the proteins within the body. These are tough and strong structures found all over the body in bones, tendons, and ligaments. When aging, collagen production is low, which will weaken cell structure. The skin gets thinner and easier to damage, hair becomes lifeless, skin sags and wrinkles, tendons and ligaments become less elastic, joints become stiff, etc.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a substance that is naturally present in the human body. It is found in the highest concentrations of fluids in the eyes and joints. Hyaluronic Acid works by binding to moisture. Hyaluronic Acid helps to repair your skin and to regenerate itself after suffering from dryness, environmental stress, or irritation. Hyaluronic Acid works by acting as a cushion and lubricant in the joints and other tissues. Therefore, Hyaluronic Acid can improve your skin’s moisture content, and at the same time strengthen the skin’s barrier; that is, the outer layers of your skin. A healthy barrier looks and feels softer, and smoother and results in younger-looking skin.
Ceramides
Ceramides are naturally found in the skin’s outer layer, this substance helps skin retain moisture. When the skin’s ceramide level is low, it has difficulty retaining moisture, making the skin dry and vulnerable to damage.
DT Collagen Anti-Aging Facial Night Cream is one of the best anti-wrinkle products. Collagen helps make your skin smooth, Hyaluronic Acid keeps it firm and Ceramides retain moisture. The combination of all three will help make your skin smooth, firm, and healthy.
How to massage & apply products to your skin better?
You can help improve blood circulation in your face by massaging it whenever you apply serum or cream to your face. By massaging the facial area with the right technique, you can enhance the product’s benefits (by helping it to get deeper into the skin’s layers) & help increase collagen in your skin.
