All about sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines
Over time, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, it's a fact! Even if this is due to the biological aging process of the body, the first signs of aging can appear much earlier due to external factors. A poor lifestyle, living in a dense and polluted urban area, high exposure to UV rays , or even the use of unsuitable beauty products can accelerate this process. Discover in this article, methods that work to prevent and treat sagging skin .
What are the causes of skin aging?
Skin cells are constantly renewed, like those of all organs. But over time, this process becomes longer and not only that! You should know that the skin is made up of structural substances such as collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which become scarce over time. However, it is these components that guarantee young, firm, supple, smooth and regular skin.
The aging process predetermined by our genes, coupled with oxidative stress and external factors, then causes our skin to lose volume, generally from the age of 30. The skin loses its curves, but it takes time to show. The first signs of aging are apparent and manifest in the form of wrinkles and fine lines, folds that form due to the loss of density.
You can do the face stretch test by hand. You will probably notice that the skin takes much longer to return to its original position. This is due to the fact that the connective tissue begins to disorganize. It is no longer sufficiently supplied with elastin and collagen (their production decreases by 1% per year).
How does sagging skin manifest itself?
No one can escape skin aging, but this phenomenon is much more accelerated in one person than in another. Skin sagging is more pronounced in people with poor lifestyle habits:
- Tobacco
- Alcohol
- Lack of sleep
- Poor diet
- Prolonged sun exposure
- Lack of skin care
You need to take care of your skin every day to keep it healthy and radiant with beauty. Without this, you can quickly notice:
- Dehydrated skin
- Expression lines
- A distended face
- A dull complexion
- A tired look
Signs of skin aging first appear around the eyes and on the contours of the face. Be aware that sagging skin subsequently affects the entire body such as the neck, décolleté, hands, thighs, etc.
The best solutions for treating sagging skin
Today, aesthetic medicine is making a real revolution to combat sagging skin, smooth wrinkles and fine lines and tighten the skin.
Aesthetic medicine
Aesthetic medicine is an effective, painless and side-effect-free solution to regain a second youth. Among the most common techniques, we find the injection of botox and hyaluronic acid.
First, botulinum toxin has a myorelaxant effect that helps tighten muscles to make wrinkles disappear. Subsequently, wrinkles and fine lines will disappear and you will find a natural result for several months.
Then, the injection of hyaluronic acid allows to cover the natural production which decreases with age. This substance will then fill the area of the body which has lost volume, such as the temples, lips, cheekbones, tear trough and chin. This filler can then be injected where you want to regain volume, for example to redraw the lips or to raise sagging cheekbones.
A suitable beauty ritual
Resorting to drastic methods to combat sagging skin and smooth out fine lines and wrinkles is not always necessary. Sometimes, all it takes is adopting the right daily habits and using the right products to keep your skin looking young for longer.
Our skin reacts to external aggressions to protect itself. It protects itself against the very harmful rays of the sun by producing more melanin. This makes the skin irregular and full of brown spots. The skin also reacts to our lifestyle, such as lack of sleep or stress . Thus, it quickly becomes exhausted and invaded by wrinkles and fine lines.
All it takes is a few changes in your habits to protect your skin from aggression. Then, you need to pamper it with quality skincare. First of all, you need to cleanse your skin thoroughly morning and evening to get rid of pollution particles, traces of makeup and sweat. You can use our gentle cleansing gel and micellar water, which gently and deeply cleanse your skin without damaging it.
Also remember to exfoliate your skin once a week to remove dead skin and unclog pores. Our exfoliating and purifying gel has powerful ingredients to perform an enzymatic and mechanical scrub at the same time. Once your skin is well cleansed, apply a cream with a sunscreen. Depending on the condition of your skin, you can also use lifting products such as an anti-aging cream .
