As you get older, your skin gradually loses some of the elasticity it had when it was younger. Aging can make skin sag, especially around your cheeks, eyes, mouth, and neck. Some people try surgery to get tighter skin, but there are many simple and painless strategies you can try first to get a more youthful appearance.
• The sun is one of the leading causes of wrinkles and sagging skin. Use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 on your face and neck. Put it on 30 minutes before you go outside.
• There are many creams that can tighten sagging skin. Look for a cream that contains Coenzyme Q10, Wakame extract, or avocado, jojoba, or grape seed oil. These ingredients can increase the production of collagen and elastin to give you firmer skin. Copper peptide creams can also tighten skin on your face and neck.
• Apply an astringent to your skin every day to make your skin tighter. An astringent can fight oil, tighten pores, and reduce wrinkles. You can make a homemade astringent from lemon juice, rosemary, honey, and witch hazel.
• Cucumber can tighten and firm sagging skin. Grind half a cucumber, squeeze out the juice, spread it over your face, and let it dry. Then rinse your face and pat your skin dry. You can also use cucumber around your eyes to eliminate crow’s feet, eye wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness.
• You can make an all-natural skin tightening face mask with egg white and lemon juice. Mix the ingredients until they are light and frothy, put the mask on your face and neck, leave it on for 15 minutes, let it dry completely, and then rinse it off with lukewarm water.
• You can mix a small amount of baking soda with water to make a paste that will remove dead skin cells and tighten your pores. Test a small amount on your elbow first to make sure you do not have an allergic reaction. Massage it onto your face for a minute and then rinse.
• A healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants can give you tighter skin. Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, drink plenty of water, and avoid foods that are high in sugar.
