Exercise

One of the most effective ways is through regular exercise. This is particularly true if the sagging skin is caused by weight loss, as the lost fat will be replaced by muscle mass. Strength training exercises target the muscles underneath the skin to tighten and tone any laxity. Exercises such as push-ups, bench presses, and dumbbell curls are key in building muscle, so try to incorporate them into your weekly routine. Cardiovascular exercise, such as jogging, is also important for tightening sagging skin. This type of exercise helps to increase circulation and oxygen to the skin, contributing to your overall appearance. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, on most days of the week.

Healthy Diet

A healthy diet can also help to firm. Pack your diet full of fruits, vegetables, protein, and healthy fats to provide your skin with the nutrients it needs to stay healthy and firm. Foods such as salmon, avocado, berries, and leafy greens are particularly beneficial. A key part of maintaining a healthy diet is staying hydrated. Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated and plump, which can also tighten sagging skin.

Skin Tightening Creams

There are many skin tightening creams on the market that can help to improve skin over time. Whilst results may be modest and more subtle than other options, as an early preventative they shouldn’t be overlooked. The key ingredients to look out for are retinol, vitamin C, and hyaluronic acid, as these have been shown to be effective at tightening sagging skin. Find out more about these ingredients in this blog. It is important to have patience if choosing this method, as results are not instant and may take weeks to begin to work. Be consistent and give it time.

Consider non-surgical treatments

If you’re looking for a more immediate solution to sagging skin, at SkinBase we offer several non-surgical treatments that can help. These include the SkinBase Collagen Lift treatment, which uses radio frequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten sagging skin. SkinBase IPL is another great option, as pulses of light stimulate collagen production which is integral to our skin’s structure and can help prevent sagging. A consultation with a SkinBase therapist will help you choose a treatment effectively.

Tighten Sagging Skin

In conclusion, sagging skin can be a frustrating problem, but you don’t have to deal with it alone. By incorporating regular exercise, a healthy diet, skin tightening creams, and non-surgical SkinBase treatments into your routine, you can improve the appearance of sagging skin and feel more confident.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
