For some time now, you have observed sagging skin in the face in the mirror. Your features appear less smooth, the skin less firm. Nothing serious in itself, but this lack of tone can represent an aesthetic discomfort, and make us look older, especially when we have drooping cheeks. But then, why does the skin relax like this? How to firm the skin and fight against sagging skin? Here are all our tips!
The sagging skin is a natural phenomenon. Over the years, some cells that contribute to the beauty and health of our skin lose their effectiveness. They are still doing their job, but sort of slowing down. To better understand sagging skin, you have to zoom in on how skin tissue works.
Elastin and collagen are two proteins responsible for the firmness and suppleness of the skin . These two proteins are created by fibroblasts, the true architects of your skin. These cells determine the amount of elastin and collagen our skin needs to look beautiful and healthy. However, with age, the number of fibroblasts present in the dermis decreases and their activity is reduced. As a result, the levels of elastin and collagen in the skin drop visibly, from the age of 20. This is a first marker of skin aging .
