Collagen is the protein responsible for giving your skin structure and elasticity. Your skin naturally gets looser and less tight as you age because collagen production begins to slow, but a number of factors accelerate loosening skin and worsen the appearance of sagging skin.
​​
-
Aging- Collagen production diminishes greatly around 40, which is why you might notice a more dramatic change to the appearance of your skin around this age.
-
Menopause- Estrogen plays a significant role in collagen production - once estrogen begins to diminish so will the collagen in your skin.
-
Sun exposure- UV breaks down the collagen in your skin and damages the structures that give your skin shape.
-
Lifestyle factors- Smoking, drinking, and other stressful activities accelerate the breakdown of collagen and slow its production.
-
Weight loss- When you lose weight, you retain the same amount of skin. Without weight to fill the space under your skin, your skin may appear looser.
​
Restoring the collagen to your skin while boosting circulation and eliminating muscle tension can tighten your skin regardless of your age. Helping your skin rebuild its structure through holistic treatments provides facial transformation by utilizing your body's natural ability to heal.
​
Providing your body with the resources it needs to heal from other factors contributing to skin sagging will also help tighten your skin and prevent it from sagging in the future. Rebalancing your hormones through menopause and strengthening your digestive organs to filter toxins will revitalize and tighten loose skin.
