Your skin is subjected to innumerable internal and environmental toxins on daily basis. Your body has the ability to regenerate new skin cells, however as you age, the ability of your body to produce the building blocks of your skin called collages in reduced. Collagen loss causes the appearance of wrinkles, age spots, fine lines and sagging skin. However, there are several easy remedies you can try to improve sagging facial skin.
Step 1
Consume 1-2 liters of clean drinking water every day to help improve sagging facial skin. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain muscle tone and prevent dehydration. Water also helps all your muscles contract, plump up tissues and prevents skin from sagging. It also keeps your skin healthy and youthful.
Step 2
Prevent sagging facial skin by applying an anti-aging cream. These potent creams stimulate collagen and elastin production in your skin, thereby tightening your skin and helping it gain volume. Make sure the anti-aging cream you will purchase contains the ingredient hyaluronic acid, a substance which stimulates the growth of collagen.
Step 3
Chew gum for 30 minutes every day to exercise your facial muscles. Gum chewing can stretch and firm up your facial muscles, improving sagging skin. If you don't have or want to chew gum, you can pretend that you are chewing gum. Close your mouth tight and slowly chew on the right side for 2 minutes then another 2 minutes on the left side.
Step 4
Apply sunblock lotion to protect your face from the sun. Exposure to the sun's potent ultraviolet rays is the main cause of wrinkles, age spots and saggy facial skin. Use sunblock with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 60, 1 hour before going outdoors every day.
