Sagging face: 7 tips to delay skin aging

4 minutes read
sagging face

A sagging face is a common sign of ageing in mature skin. As the years go by, it naturally loses its elasticity and small signs such as wrinkles, expression lines, brown spots, lack of radiance and some dehydration begin to appear. These signs of the passage of time are particularly visible on the skin of the face, as it is more exposed to daily aggressions.

However, all is not lost! Although we can’t stop the natural aging process, there are ways to treat and prevent the marks of time and the effect of external aggressions. In this article, we’ve identified 7 actions you can implement in your routine to prevent and reduce facial sagging and help your skin maintain a more youthful appearance.

1. Adopt a healthy lifestyle

The skin reflects a person’s lifestyle and the care they take with their diet. A healthy routine and a balanced diet allow the skin to regenerate better. To preserve a youthful appearance for longer and delay signs of ageing, look for:

  • Do physical activity at least three times a week;
  • Drink 1.5 to 2 liters of water a day;
  • No smoking;
  • Eat a healthy diet;
  • Get a good night’s sleep.

2. Reap the benefits of antioxidants

A balanced diet allows us to make the most of the vitamins and minerals present in food. This nutritional capacity helps our bodies to stay healthy and function better. In this case, to delay skin ageing, include antioxidant foods such as red fruits and citrus fruits in your diet. They are essential for cell regeneration in the epidermis and help to delay sagging of the face.

3. Cleanse and moisturize your skin every day

Moisturizing the skin is essential to prevent it from becoming fragile and lacking definition. Moisturizers retain water and delay the appearance of the first wrinkles and sagging of the face. By using a moisturizer every day, you’ll keep your skin looking younger.

The steps in the face cleansing and moisturizing routine are quite simple and you should apply them morning and night, without ever forgetting the neck, décolleté and hands. Start by cleansing your face with suitable products and then apply a moisturizing cream specific to your needs and skin type.

4. Stimulate the skin with a restorative massage

In your nighttime moisturizing routine, you can and should include a moisturizing facial massage. This moment not only helps you relax and prepare your body for sleep, but is also an excellent ally for maintaining skin elasticity, activating circulation and oxygenating the skin. While applying your moisturizing cream, make gentle circular movements, always from the bottom up.

5. Exfoliate your skin every week

Our bodies regularly remove dead skin cells, creating a new layer every 28 days. As we get older, this process begins to slow down, leaving our facial skin duller, with brown spots and less elasticity. To promote cell regeneration, exfoliate every week.

6. Protect your face from excessive sun exposure

Did you know that the sun is one of the skin’s main enemies? Ultraviolet rays accelerate ageing and encourage the formation of wrinkles and spots. That’s why you should protect your face daily with sunscreen, preferably SPF 30 or higher. This is one of the main things you should do to delay the appearance of sagging skin. However, it’s important not to forget to also apply it to your neck, décolleté and hands.

7. Use a treatment to reduce sagging faces

Skin treatments are also a great way of treating and preventing sagging faces. They can be excellent allies for maintaining a youthful and healthy appearance. There are techniques that stimulate collagen production and support tissues at subcutaneous level. With quick and long-lasting results, they provide a rejuvenating effect and a natural lift.

Your skin deserves all the care and attention it can get. In addition to daily care, there are minimally invasive treatments that help restore its natural glow and beauty.
