Sagging skin is one of the more annoying signs of ageing, but one which most of us have to deal with at some point. As we age, our bodies’ ability to produce collagen, the thing that sustains the skins structure, and we usually need a little extra help to keep our skin feeling firm and tightened. We have several products which help to deal with sagging skin, and these are five of our favourites:
Decleor Intensive Youth Concentrate
This product from Decleor contains the highest concentration of the remarkable L-PROLINE Complex to reactivate collagen synthesis, helping to lift, firm and tighten the skin. It reorganises the skin on a cellular level, giving immediate results and works best when used as a 3 week intensive duo treatment in the morning and evening with AROMESSENCE™ Iris Serum.
This serum from Jan Marini contains a high concentration of vitamin C which helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains DMAE, hyaluronic acid and vitamins B and E, which combine to tighten facial contours, erase wrinkles and give the whole face a more youthful appearance.
Elemis Pro-Definition Night Cream
This night cream from Elemis contains gardenia stem cells, arjuna and lupin and is specifically formulated to reduce the appearance of sagging jowls, cheeks and chin, some of the most common places for loss of tightness. It gives an immediate firming effect and re-contours the whole face, especially when used alongside Elemis Pro-Definition Eye & Lip Contour Cream.
Decleor Lift and Firm Day Cream
This cream from Decleor is a real triple-threat – not only does it give skin a deep wash of moisture, it also tightens the skin and adds radiance. Key active ingredients include L-PROLINE complex to help reactivate the skins firmness, iris essential oil to boost the skins elasticity and high and low molecular weight hyaluronic acids to fill in wrinkles on the surface.
Dermalogica Stress Positive Eye Lift
The eyes and mouth are really common places to experience sagging, which is why sometimes we need targeted help in these areas. It’s a highly potent product which generates a lifting effect, energises the skin, brightens under eye circles and gives the whole eye area a more youthful look.
