What is sagging skin?

Sagging skin is a natural process that occurs when the skin loses its elasticity and firmness. This loss of tone causes visible sagging of the skin, particularly on the face, neck, arms and other areas of the body. As we age, cell renewal slows down, leading to a thinning of the epidermis and a weakening of the dermal structures. The production of collagen and elastin, essential for skin suppleness and firmness, also falls. This lack of density and the slower regeneration of cells gradually changes the appearance and texture of the skin, which becomes more wrinkled and slack.

Causes of sagging skin

Internal factors

Natural ageing: With age, the production of collagen and elastin, two proteins essential for the skin's firmness and elasticity, diminishes. This makes the skin less able to keep itself taut and firm.

Hormonal factors: Hormonal changes, particularly the drop in oestrogen levels in post-menopausal women, can affect skin structure and elasticity.

Genetics: Genetics play an important role in determining skin texture and elasticity. Some people are naturally more predisposed to sagging skin.


Healthy living

Smoking: Smoking reduces collagen production and impairs the skin's elasticity, leading to sagging.

Poor diet: A diet lacking in essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants can affect skin health and its ability to stay firm.

Rapid weight loss: Significant and rapid weight loss can result in excess skin that doesn't have time to shrink, which can lead to sagging.


External factors

Exposure to the sun: The sun's UV rays can damage the collagen and elastin fibres in the skin, accelerating the ageing process and contributing to sagging skin.

How to recognise the signs of sagging skin

There are several signs of sagging skin.

  • Sagging cheeks are one of the first signs: the cheeks appear less fleshy and droop more.

  • The upper eyelids may also sag: Giving the face a tired appearance.

  • Appearance of wrinkles and folds: particularly around the mouth and eyes

  • Loss of definition around the facial contour: This is noticeable around the chin and jaw lines, which become less sharp and defined.

How can I prevent sagging skin?

  1. Opt for marine collagen supplements: Marine collagen should be used as a food supplement to combat the signs of skin ageing. Peptides encourage the production of collagen and have a proven effect on the beauty and firmness of the skin.

  2. Stay hydrated: Drink enough water to keep your skin hydrated and prevent dehydration.

  3. Eat a balanced diet: Eat a healthy diet rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants to support the health of your skin. Don't eat too many processed foods, which can affect skin quality and encourage the formation of free radicals.

  4. Avoid smoking: smoking can accelerate skin ageing and damage skin elasticity.

  5. Protect yourself from the sun with sun cream: Regular application of sun cream is essential to protect your skin from damage caused by UV rays, which are one of the main causes of premature skin ageing.

Precautions

For mature skin, it is essential to choose gentle, non-irritating products, as mature skin is often thinner and more sensitive. Anti-ageing serums and creams should contain suitable active ingredients, avoiding those that are too aggressive, such as certain strong exfoliants, which can irritate the skin or cause redness.

Expert advice

For an even more invigorating and toning effect, place your Gua Sha or quartz roller in the fridge before use. The cold helps to tighten pores and reduce puffiness.

Are massages or beauty tools such as gua sha effective in firming the skin?

Facial massages and tools such as the gua sha or jade rollers stimulate blood circulation and help tone the skin, providing a firming effect when incorporated into a regular skincare routine.

At what age should you start using anti-ageing active ingredients?

It is generally advisable to start using anti-ageing products between the ages of 25 and 30 as a preventive measure. This is because collagen production starts to decline around the age of 25.
