Thin, loose skin is as much a sign of aging as wrinkles, pigmentation, and sagging. We will teach you how to restore skin tone and elasticity.
Flabbiness of the skin of the face: what is it
Flabbiness of the skin is one of the indicators of age. But the skin can get such a characteristic prematurely. And they will be to blame for this:
- bad habits;
- chronic lack of sleep;
- increased stress levels;
- caffeine addiction;
- long daily work behind the monitor.
All these factors affect the hormonal background, reducing the production of estrogen and testosterone. This means that metabolism and protein synthesis slow down ahead of time.
Dry skin is more prone to sagging.

Reasons for sagging skin
The main cause of skin laxity and loss of its tone is damage to collagen and elastin fibers, as well as a decrease in the volume of hyaluronic acid in the dermis. What provokes such changes?
Ultraviolet
UVA rays, penetrating the skin, trigger processes that lead to premature aging. They act imperceptibly, and collagen suffers first of all. If in youth collagen fibers recover quickly enough, then with age this process is delayed.
The activity of fibroblasts decreases, they synthesize less collagen and hyaluronic acid, more metalloproteinase enzymes are produced that destroy their own collagen.
Negative environmental impact
The polluted atmosphere and everything related to technological progress often leads to the formation of free radicals that destroy skin cells.
Stress and lack of sleep
In order for the production of collagen and elastin to proceed as expected, the skin needs special conditions. Under the influence of stress, as well as due to lack of sleep in the body, the production of cells increases dramatically, which contribute to the destruction of hyaluronic acid and collagen, which are necessary to maintain skin tone and turgor.

How to deal with sagging skin with daily care
The first condition for the fight against skin aging is a revision of the beauty routine and diet. You will probably have to replace some funds with more intense ones, and add foods rich in proteins, vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids to the diet.
Korean women, for example, feel that the skin is losing tone, focus on moisturizing it. And daily after cleansing, sheet masks are applied, and 2-3 times a week, a 5-minute massage with a cream for skin elasticity is added to them. Such care gives good results.
As for the beauty routine, it should include the following steps:
- cleansing – daily, twice a day;
- deep cleansing – once a week;
- toning – daily, after washing;
- moisturizing and strengthening the barrier structures of the skin – daily;
- meals – daily, as needed;
- UV protection – daily, all year round.
Stress and lack of sleep are also the cause of sagging skin.
