Our skin’s appearance and qualities constantly change throughout life. Already in our 20s, we see wrinkles around the eyes, which then spreads to the rest of our face, and in later stages, we notice changes in our facial structure which are tied to a slow drooping of the skin.
Along with these natural changes, changes in the appearance of the skin are also related to a host of negative factors that we are exposed to throughout life: excessive exposure to sun, smoking, excessive consumption of alcohol, poor nutrition, and more. Although there are many expensive treatments on the market, there are also natural solutions that can prevent and delay the damage caused to the skin, and help it look tighter and smoother. The following 10 natural remedies can treat various symptoms associated with loose and drooping skin.
Throughout the aging process of the skin, collagen, the protein responsible for the skin's elasticity and tightness, goes through changes that slow down its processes and cause the skin to lose its elasticity and moisture, creating a more lax appearance. The vitamin C in lemon helps increase collagen production, which helps tighten the skin and reduce wrinkles and other early signs of aging.
In order to tighten loose skin, it is strongly recommended to use a face mask that includes cucumber. This vegetable has a positive effect on strengthening the connective tissue of the skin cells and therefore helps to keep the skin in place and doesn’t allow it to succumb to gravity.
Massaging the face and neck with olive oil helps make loose and wrinkled skin smoother, and restore its glow. This is due to antioxidants such as vitamin A and vitamin E found in olive oil which turn it into a natural and effective anti-aging product.
Honey contains antioxidants and is characterized by anti-aging properties that together help moisturize mature and dry skin and eliminate the pale and unnatural appearance that may characterize it.
Rose water is a liquid that causes skin cells and enlarged pores to shrink, especially in the facial area, making it very useful for the appearance of taut skin and in fighting infections. In addition, rose water also helps the skin maintain its natural glow.
Mature skin changes not only in its appearance but also in the way it feels. Baking soda helps mature skin become soft by removing dead skin cells and tightening the pores.
While the natural elasticity of young skin helps it "stay" in place, reduced collagen production causes the skin to lose this feature resulting in sagginess. Cinnamon helps restore the skin's natural elasticity, thereby contributing to a younger appearance.
One of the problems of mature skin is that it often looks dry and lifeless. Milk and other dairy products have earned a place of respect in skin care thanks to their high protein and antiseptic content, and they can be used to prevent the accumulation and promote the removal of dead skin cells. You can use plain milk, but it is recommended to use yogurt or camel milk.
