Forever young: Ways to get firmer skin

Sagging skin is a problem faced by both men and women. It is an indication of an unhealthy lifestyle or aging, and most people can’t escape the condition. Here are ways to get firmer skin for a youthful look.

As much as possible, avoid sun exposure for long periods of time

Too much sun exposure can cause the skin to sag. It also causes the skin’s collagen to break down, and degrades the skin’s elasticity. While a lot of people just generally hide from the sun, they can’t stay indoors forever. Putting on facial creams with at least SPF 30 will do the trick.

Never skip the moisturizer

Moisturizers protect the skin from damage caused by dehydration. Without ample moisture, the skin cannot regenerate or repair itself. Many people disregard moisturizing, and they end up with wrinkles in middle age and in their advanced years. Others don’t just settle for simple moisturizers and go the extra mile with topical tighteners.

Skip the sweets

Experts say loading up on sugar can speed up skin aging. Sugar in the blood stream can be harmful for the skin, and even those who are in their mid-30’s become prone to premature skin aging. It can also weaken the skin’s elastin and collagen.

Take in antioxidants

Antioxidants like green tea, black coffee, and grape seed have slimming properties, and they also protect the skin from aging. These boost collagen formation, which preserves the skin’s youthful appearance.

Go for medical treatments

For fast, natural-looking results, people can try minimally-invasive surgical procedures like Sono Bello’s Lift to achieve firm skin. This micro-laser technology only requires local anesthesia, and has zero downtime so patients can walk away the Sono Bello clinic after the procedure with ease and confidence.
