All about sagging skin, wrinkles and fine lines
Over time, the skin loses its firmness and elasticity, it's a fact! Although this is due to the body's biological aging process, the first signs of aging can appear much earlier due to external factors. Poor lifestyle, living in dense and polluted urban areas, 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 continually renewed, like those of all organs. But over time, this process lengthens and not only that! You should know that the skin is made up of structural substances like collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid, which become rarer 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, means that our skin suffers a loss of volume generally from the age of 30. The skin loses its curve, but it takes time to see it. The first signs of aging appear and appear in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, folds that form due to 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 because the connective tissue begins to become disorganized. It is no longer sufficiently supplied with elastin and collagen (their production decreases by 1% per year).
How does skin sagging manifest?
No one can escape skin aging, but this phenomenon is much more accelerated in one person than another. Skin sagging is more pronounced in people with poor lifestyle:
- Tobacco
- Alcohol
- Lack of sleep
- Bad nutrition
- Prolonged solar 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, we can very 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 to treat 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 for regaining a second youth. Among the most common techniques are botox and hyaluronic acid injection.
First, botulinum toxin has a muscle relaxant effect which helps to tighten the muscles in order 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 makes it possible to cover the natural production which declines with age. This substance will then fill the area of the body that has lost volume, such as the temples, lips, cheekbones, tear valley and chin. This filler can then be injected where you wish to regain volume, for example to reshape the lips or to enhance sagging cheekbones.
A suitable beauty ritual
Resorting to drastic methods to combat sagging skin and smooth fine lines and wrinkles is not always necessary. Sometimes, you just need to adopt the right daily actions and use the right products to maintain youthful skin for longer.
Our skin reacts to external aggressions to protect itself. It protects itself against very harmful sun rays by producing more melanin. Which makes the skin uneven and full of brown spots. The skin also reacts to our lifestyle, such as lack of sleep or stress . Thus, it quickly becomes exhausted by allowing itself to be invaded by wrinkles and fine lines.
All it takes is a few changes in habits to protect the skin from attacks. Then, you have to pamper it with quality care. Above all, you must clean the skin well 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 the skin without damaging it.
Also remember to exfoliate the skin once a week to remove dead skin and unclog pores. Our exfoliating and purifying gel has powerful ingredients to achieve an enzymatic and mechanical exfoliation at the same time. Once the skin is well cleansed, apply a cream with a sun filter. Depending on the condition of your skin, you can also use lifting products such as an anti-aging cream .
