 N Skin Care Alert

Sagging skin

As we get older, certain parts of our body show our age more than others. Sagging skin and wrinkles comes naturally as we age.

The skin loses the connective tissue that keeps its firmness and produce elastin. Genetics and the sun exposure you have had during your lifetime determine how much you sag. Smoking contributes to skin sagging too. During rapid weight loss or gain on the first six months, the skin cannot keep up the pace and starts to sag.

Loss of skin firmness and elasticity occurs at different rates and different times. Loss of elasticity leads to dry skin. When we lose the fat padding and connective tissues , the skin starts to sag showing signs of age and wrinkles. Along with all other changes gravity is also playing its role contributing to the skin to sag.

Unfavorable changes may come in two forms: changes in the shape and contour of the neck, and changes in the skin.

Loose, sagging skin and fat can create "double chins" or "turkey necks", and the quality of the skin can alter with sun damage making it appear rougher and more wrinkly with some discolorations or age spots.

So, how do you get firmer skin on your neck and make it look younger?

Help delay the onset of sagging skin

Like part of the aging process,  preventative skin care can minimize its effects. There are several simple steps you can take that will help you in achieving a firmer neck. The most simple are all proven techniques for improving any area, but they will all help you in your goal of achieving a firmer neck:

  • Watch your weight : Any rapid weight gain and weight loss will result to sagging skin.
  • Regular exercise : Choose a program that fits your lifestyle and stick to it.
  • Have a healthy diet : A diet rich with rich with fibrous food, fresh fruit and vegetables, and little junk food, will provide the nutrients you need to maintain your skin at its best.
  • Don't smoke : Smoking is bad for your skin and can lead to other health problems.
  • Stay out of the sun : Your age will age more if you get more sun exposure. If this cannot be avoided, use sunblock, such as Godiva Green Tea Sunblock Cream

However, if this area of your body is unsightly, there are a few ways to improve its appearance. One is a system of face exercises - manufacturers claim that just as regular exercise benefits the body, it can provide the same benefits to your face, restoring and maintaining a younger look by strengthening and toning the muscle groups in the face, chin and neck.

A more drastic and invasive alternative is a face/neck lift, an operation to tighten and remove loose and sagging skin, and improve the appearance of face and neck.

Now there's a better option to achieve firmer skin!

Use Godiva Face and Neck Firming Cream. It significantly firms up the skin to uncover a woman’s natural graceful contours. Even dark spots are lightened. Start to see improvements in just 2 weeks, dramatic results in 8 to 12 weeks.
