Sagging of the skin (face)

What is it?

Skin laxity affects different parts of the face. Whether on the forehead, eyelids, cheeks, oval of the face, neck or décolleté, the skin loses its elasticity, volume and density over time and with certain lifestyle habits.

Did you know?

We lose 1% of collagen per year from the age of 25, and this percentage increases over time. In the first five years of the menopause, about 35% of this precious protein disappears!

What are the causes?

Exposure to the sun

Sun exposure, especially if not accompanied by UV protection, leads to an increase in melanin production, a decrease in collagen and elastin production, a thickening of certain areas of the skin and clearly promotes dryness. Gradually, the structure of the skin changes and becomes visibly less firm.

Genetics

Apart from the above-mentioned origins, not everyone ages in the same way. The cause: genetic predisposition! The skin's capacity for hydration, elasticity and anti-oxidation also depends on our genes.

Hormonal changes

Adequate levels of oestrogens, testosterone and progesterone, among others, are necessary for proper tissue function. A dysfunction or imbalance in the levels of these hormones increases skin dehydration and thus loss of tone.

Bad living habits

Tobacco and/or alcohol consumption, stress, lack of exercise, a diet rich in sugar... As we know, lifestyle habits have a direct impact on our health, but also on that of our skin. To promote the production of collagen and elastin and to enable our skin to better protect itself against external influences (UV rays, wind, pollution...), it is essential to pay particular attention to our lifestyle!

How to prevent?

Good hydration

The skin contains on average 75% water, an essential element for the proper functioning of cells. Better protected against external influences (UV rays, pollution, wind, heat, cold, humidity and dryness), the skin ages less quickly! 

To keep your skin supple and smooth and your complexion radiant, use a high-quality moisturiser that suits your skin type and needs... and which allows you to absorb about 1.5 l water per day!

Applying healthy lifestyles

By promoting collagen production, a diet rich in vitamins A and C, silicon, amino acids, magnesium and antioxidants is an effective way to combat sagging skin. Similarly, it is important to avoid foods that are heavily roasted or burnt, as the process (called glycation) generated by this promotes loss of skin elasticity.

Care in your self-care routine

It takes only 21 days to develop a good habit and become a natural part of any routine! Here are the 4 essential steps for good health and beauty habits:

  • Cleanse with a neutral PH toner to respect the balance of our skin.
  • Treat each layer of the skin with appropriate, complementary products (serum, cream, gel, toner).
  • Hydrate. Some factors make life difficult for our skin - heating, winter cold, wind, hormonal variations - it is essential to help the skin's natural hydration process a little and use the cream that suits it perfectly.
  • Exfoliate to regenerate the skin. By removing dead skin cells that naturally accumulate on the skin's surface, weekly exfoliation helps to unclog and tighten pores and accelerate skin renewal, as well as to better absorb moisturiser.
