Nobody wants to look in the mirror and see saggy skin. It is a reminder that the days of your youth are long gone and that old age awaits. Or, you don\u2019t have to look at it that way! Are you a glass-half-full person, or what? You can figure out the cause of your sagging skin<\/strong> and take the necessary steps to fight the effects of aging and keep the skin looking as healthy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to take an integrative approach to skin longevity, you have to determine why your skin is sagging. Don\u2019t jump to a conclusion because you don\u2019t want to treat the wrong issue. Knowing exactly why you have dark spots<\/a>, redness, or even aging or sagging skin can help you establish a treatment plan. Photoshop and botox injections are not the answers! Your skin can look healthy if you do the work to understand why it doesn\u2019t look the way you want. Below are three of the most common causes of sagging skin and what you can do to support it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lifestyle Factors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are an SPF addict and you don\u2019t spend lots of hours in the sun, you may want to look at your lifestyle habits. How is your sleep? Do you have high stress levels? A lot of research indicates a clear connection between the health of your skin and your stress levels or sleep health. Due to melatonin, your skin enters repair mode when you sleep. Melatonin plays an integral role in skin repair from UV light, stressors, pollution, and environmental exposure. If you don\u2019t rest, your skin can suffer because the body isn\u2019t producing enough melatonin for the skin to repair itself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, you have stress. According to research, the skin acts as a stress perceiver and is a target for the body\u2019s stress response. Psychological stress tells the brain and the skin to release hormones that trigger inflammation<\/a>. Those hormones impair wound healing, accelerate aging, and worsen skin conditions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mind and body, including the skin, will be grateful if you add stress-relieving practices<\/a> to your daily routine. Yoga<\/a>, meditation, tai chi, journaling, exercise, or dancing all count. Whatever works to relieve stress, so long as it isn\u2019t harmful to your health, is beneficial. Consider meeting with a therapist or psychologist if you need to talk with someone. Tending to your mental health can, whether you believe it or not, improve your complexion<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UV Exposure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Collagen and elastin are the skin\u2019s structural proteins that keep it taught and firm<\/a>. If anything gets in the way of those two proteins, your skin will most likely sag. If you like to sunbathe, you expose yourself to a lot of UV rays, which can penetrate the epidermis and damage skin cells, proteins, and elastic fibers that maintain firmness. In fact, one study found that 80% of signs of visible skin aging (wrinkles, dark spots, and fine lines) are attributed to sun damage. Even if sagging skin isn\u2019t your main concern as you age, UV exposure is to blame for the majority of aging skin<\/strong> that you see.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You cannot magically undo years of UV skin damage, but you can start taking better care of your skin<\/a> when you want to venture into the sun. Dermatologists agree that you should wear sunscreen every single day, especially if you are going to be outside. If you plan to spend time in the sun, make sure to reapply every two hours. Additionally, consider using a cleanser, retinol, and moisturizer to remove dead skin and encourage cell turnover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Age-Related Skin Sagging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can\u2019t turn back the hands of time. Even if you live a clean lifestyle, sleep great, nourish your skin, reduce stress<\/a> or use the most expensive skin care products and treatments, your skin will still develop fine lines and wrinkles. Sagging is just a normal part of aging. It\u2019s never a bad idea to spend more time caring for your skin. After all, it is the largest organ in the body. Just understand that sagging is natural and will happen over time. For example, collagen production<\/a> starts to decline in your mid-20s, and you lose about 1% each year. Women in menopause experience a significant drop close to 30%!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, you just have to face the facts: you cannot fight life\u2019s clock, nor should you feel like you have to. You can, however, cleanse the skin, use a toner, apply moisturize<\/a>r, use eye creams, lather up in body butters, and protect it when out in the sun. You can also eat to improve skin health (click here for more info on that) and take supplements to encourage healthier skin<\/a>. Just make sure to look for high quality products if you want to use supplements.<\/p>\n
