As the years go by, interest in keeping skin from sagging and looking firm and toned increases.

That's because we all prefer to look younger!

Who doesn't?

If you are in your late 30's or older, you have probably noticed your skin is not what it used to be.

For most of us this is inevitable.

Other body parts begin to sag as we age and, unfortunately, our skin is no different.


Fortunately, there are options available that will help improve skin elasticity.


To better understand what exactly causes our skin to sag in the first place, let's go over a bit of the physical side of the process.

Your skin has two distinct layers called the epidermis and the dermis.

  • The epidermis is on the surface and contains the pigment, epidermal cells, and proteins.

  • The dermis is the layer located underneath the epidermis and contains the dermal cells, blood vessels and nerves, hair follicles, and oil glands plus it is responsible for providing the nutrients for the epidermal layer. the dermas also contains the connective tissue as well as our skin's collagen.

Although it is located beneath the epidermal layer, it is changes in the dermal layer that cause the outer skin to wrinkle and loose elasticity as we age.

As we grow older, the amount of fat found in our lower layer of skin decreases, our glands produce less oil, and collagen and elastin fibers lose their elasticity.  The natural process of cell reproduction in the dermal layer also decreases as we grow older, resulting in a slower rejuvenation of our skin cells.

So, now that we know just why this happens let's talk about the part that is more important to those of us suffering from this affliction, the solution to improving skin elasticity.

Although there is no actual magic pill designed to stop this natural aging process, there are options available to slow down and, in some cases, reverse the signs of aging skin.


First, and foremost, is prevention
