Facial Elasticity

As you age the skin’s underlying structures start to degrade. Collagen starts to deplete as early as your 20’s leaving your skin without its internal support system.

Stop the sag
These processes are all a part of natural aging. There are, however, things you can do to accelerate the problem including smoking, weight changes, and sun damage. This robs your skin of its useful fullness, contour, and resilience. Unfortunately, there is also a genetic factor that is out of your control. But don’t get discouraged.

5 ways to improve your skin’s elasticity:
• SMOKING – If you smoke, stop.
• ALCOHOL – Drink less alcohol.
• DIET – Keep your weight stable and avoid yo-yo dieting.
• WATER – Keep your skin hydrated.
• SPF 50 – Use a mineral-based SPF 50 sunscreen every day.
