What is the science behind sagging skin?
Before we start, let me tell you what is happening behind the curtain, or you can skip this part if you find biology boring.
Everyday our body creates new cells, and the older ones die - this process is known as mitosis. During the cell division process, cells inherit a vital protein to their younger cells known as “Collagen” The protein is present between connective tissues, whose primary objective is maintaining skin elasticity.
But the factors like sun exposure, tobacco or alcohol usage, over sugar intake, and other health-related problems weakens the collagen, resulting in sagging skin, fine lines, and wrinkles.
How to get rid of it?
Water: An effective way to tighten up your skin is by taking an ample amount of water. The water provides moisture to the skin, which helps to tighten the skin; apart from this, water maintains a glow on skin, clears it, gives a healthier, shinier, and smoother look.
Nutritionists recommend drinking 6 to 10 glasses each day; moreover, it depends on your age, gender, area, season or temperature.
Avocado: Avocado, with its healthy fatty acids, helps in tightening and brightening the skin.
The fruit contains niacin, thiamine, and riboflavin; these ingredients are used in the most expensive cosmetics products.
Eating avocado or applying it on the face can help you achieve better and healthier skin.
Honey: Honey is an excellent antioxidant and an antibacterial and antiseptic agent; it has anti-aging properties that help tighten the loose skin.
Taking raw honey or applying it on the face heals the skin, tightens it, and makes it healthier, smoother, and shinier.
