It's a known fact that ageing causes your skin to start sagging and this could be because of lifestyle changes and especially because of a natural loss and weakening of collagen and elastin. However, there are a few ways to get rid of sagging skin, or at least control it. Here are the tips to follow to bid your sagging skin woes goodbye...

Smart SPF: UV damage speeds up the loss of firmness of the skin, hence using a sunscreen on a daily basis is of utmost importance. UV rays can cause a lot of damage to the skin and hence you must try your best to always have sunscreen on whilst outdoors.

Moisturise: It is highly recommended to apply moisturisers that are high in Vitamins C and E. You must apply a moisturiser once in the day and once at night. It is important to keep the skin firm and smooth as you age and a moisturiser will help with just that. Look for ingredients like aloe vera, soy protein, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Vitamin whilst buying one.

Massage: Massaging a moisturiser into the skin in a circular motion for a few minutes will improve the blood circulation and will give a temporary plumping effect to your skin. Also, massage your neck in an upward motion to prevent the skin there from sagging too.

Facial exercises: There are certain facial exercises that will prevent your skin from sagging. The first involves smiling without moving your cheeks and holding it for a few seconds. Another exercise happens to be smiling as broadly as you can and placing your fingers on the top of your cheekbones. Push down the cheekbones with your fingers for 10 seconds. Repeat these exercises 10 times each and you will start to see changes soon.
We hope these skin tightening tips help!
