Your lifestyle, genetics, and diet are the elements that have the biggest affect on the firmness and health of your facial skin.
Nevertheless, it is still possible to prevent the loss of elasticity of your skin through some good habits.
These three homemade recipes will also help to tighten your face.
Time is without a doubt the first factor in why your face becomes flabby, causing your skin to lose its firmness and elasticity. Remember, however, that skin is an organ that needs to be properly nourished to prevent the effects of aging.
Nutrient deficiencies caused by an unbalanced diet, such as a lack of protein or vitamins, can lead to the loss of elasticity of the skin.
A drop in the level of elastin and collagen, two proteins essential for the firmness of the skin, can lead to a loss of facial tone.
Sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise can also cause a lack of oxygen your skin cells receive, which slows down the regeneration of the skin.
The too much sun is very bad for your skin. Its UV rays cause premature aging as well as dehydration and loss of collagen.
Your emotions and your state of stress can affect the health of your skin. Anxiety and stress contract muscles and shrink the blood vessels of the face, which decreases the absorption of nutrients.
