The cause of sagging-skin

Some people are lucky and in old age still have a peachy soft and tight skin. However, the majority suffer from sagging skin. In general, sagging skin is a common consequence of the natural skin aging process. This is due to a decrease in collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, among other things. Piece by piece fabrics that ensure a full and youthful skin.

But… the older you get, the more this decreases. As a result, your skin becomes less elastic and weaker. And we're not just talking about your face, but also about your arms, legs, stomach and other body parts. The above obviously applies to men and women, although men are less likely to suffer from sagging skin than women. In addition, it seems that especially women are more bothered and are more likely to want to strengthen the sagging skin.

8 tips to strengthen your sagging skin

Fortunately, you can prevent skin aging in a way by taking good care of your skin. And that care is of course in using the right care products. But just as well in daily activities and your eating, drinking and exercise pattern. Don't forget that strengthening sagging skin really is a combination of the tips below.

The following 8 tips will help you with this:

• Drink enough water , this is how you keep your skin hydrated.
• Exercise regularly is good for blood circulation in your skin and strengthens muscles. This gives them more volume and makes the flabby skin less visible (also good for flabby upper arms, for example 😉 )
• Sufficient sleep ensures that your skin can repair itself.
• Eat a varied diet and plenty of vegetables, fruit and fiber. In addition, you have to be careful with sugars, processed foods and alcohol.
• Go outside regularly is also a must. The fresh air can help rejuvenate your skin.
• Make sure you always use sunscreen with SPF when you go outside. Yes, even when the sun is not shining, because UV rays are always present. Fortunately, most day creams already have an SPF value of 15 as standard.
• Choose skin care products where collagen and/or hyaluronic acid has been added to. This prevents slackening.
• Relax… because stress can even accelerate the aging process of your skin.
• Pamper yourself with a monthly detox day to cleanse your body and make the skin glow.
