Why does skin begin to sag as we age?

As we all know, the process of our skin aging is inevitable, no matter how much we try to prevent it. This occurs due to the natural process of collagen and elastin breaking down over time, whether it’s due to aging, sun damage, toxin exposure, etc. The proteins collagen and elastin are the key to youthful skin, and keep the skin smooth, tight, and wrinkle-free. When these proteins naturally begin to breakdown, the skin slowly starts to lose it’s youthful look, and become wrinkled, loose, and saggy. In addition to this, as we age, the connective tissue in the skin weakens, which directly causes the skin to droop. Also, in the aging process, the skin naturally loses its volume, causing an uneven distribution of fat in the skin, that will ultimately sag. Even though it isn’t humanly possible to completely put an end to the inevitability of aging skin, there are many simple treatments we can do at home that can tighten the skin and prevent these signs of aging.

10 simple at-home skin tightening treatments
