Firm and tighten loose or flabby skin on the arms, legs and tummy with effective skin tightening products.
Saggy causes?
Loose tissue is formed for a variety of reasons - lost weight, dehydration, and lack of nutrition. Natural aging plays its' part as well. As we age, our tissue and complexion lose their ability to retain moisture. Consequently, cell membranes lose elasticity and firmness. Dryness, cracking and sagging may occur, particularly on the neck, around breasts, and arms.
Childbirth following pregnancy is especially tough on tissue with hormonal changes and depleted moisture making the tummy, belly and breast area most susceptible.
Sun damage caused by UV rays and lack of fluids dry dermal layers reducing "cellular turnover" and poor collagen bonding - a primary and vital requirement to retain firmness.
Firming Benefits
Lotions for skin tightening provide a host of benefits. Generally formulated with active ingredients such as Matrixyl or Argireline, these polypeptides increase elastin and collagen production.
Likewise, soluble collagen penetrates to improve tissue strength reducing wrinkles, sagging and looseness, while improving membrane health.
Other active ingredients increase suppleness and softness. Aloe Vera is well known for its' soothing and healing properties, while Emu Oil, Jojoba Oil and Illepe butter soften and provide deep hydration.
Hyaluronic Acid, a naturally occurring substance in our bodies, acts to retain hydration improving tissue and cell development. Hyaluronic Acid is one of the most popular actives in anti-aging and anti-wrinkle skin products. It works effectively with skin tightening agents and offers long-term moisture needed to reduce dryness and surface pliability.
Skin tightening products are effective both as a general moisturizing lotion or cream and get tissue tight on the arms, legs, and neck. Used as an everyday moisturizer, they can keep wrinkles and sagging in "in check" while toning problem areas around the stomach, bust line, and thighs for a younger, more youthful complexion and tone.
