What causes sagging skin all over the body?

There are many reasons for sagging skin all over the body. The most common one is age. With age, the collagen content in the skin gradually decreases and the skin metabolism becomes slow, which can cause the skin to become sagging. There is also a kind of skin sagging disease, which is a hereditary disease that often leads to a decrease in the skin's support, causing wrinkles on the skin and causing the skin to become sagging.

What causes sagging skin all over the body?

1. There are two kinds of proteins in the dermis of the skin: collagen and elastin, which support the skin and make it plump and firm. After the age of 25, these two proteins naturally decrease due to the aging process of the human body, and the fibers between cells degenerate over time, causing the skin to lose elasticity; 2. The skin's supporting ability decreases. Fat and muscle are the biggest support for the skin, but aging, weight loss, unbalanced nutrition, lack of exercise and other reasons lead to loss of subcutaneous fat and muscle relaxation, which makes the skin lose support and sag. 3. Other factors such as gravity, heredity, mental stress, exposure to sunlight and smoking also cause the skin structure to change, and finally make the skin lose elasticity and cause sagging.

Prevent skin sagging

Before the skin becomes sagging, effective measures to prevent it can prevent or delay skin sagging and keep the skin youthful for a long time. Here are a few suggestions to help you better prevent skin sagging. Keep your skin clean: Too much oil and dust on the face, wearing makeup for too long or not removing makeup thoroughly will cause skin pores to be clogged, making it difficult for the skin to breathe naturally, causing inflammation or nutritional imbalance of the skin. Over time, it will cause a lack of skin tension and elasticity, resulting in sagging skin. You should pay attention to thoroughly cleansing your skin every day, and use natural, gentle and non-irritating moisturizing and nutrient water to keep your skin clean while replenishing moisture and nutrients, enhancing skin vitality and preventing skin sagging. Maintain a balanced diet: Overeating will overburden the spleen and stomach, and cause excess nutrition, which will make the skin unable to maintain normal metabolism, causing the skin to be overstretched and lose its original elasticity and become loose; while dieting will cause the skin to lose nutrition too quickly without effective replenishment, forming cavities under the skin, causing the skin to become sunken and loose. Therefore, effectively maintaining normal diet and nutrition is also a very important part of preventing skin sagging.

Pay attention to sun protection: More than 90% of skin sagging is caused by excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays from the sun. First, it causes photoaging, and second, it causes the formation of a large number of free radicals in the body, causing the skin to be over-oxidized and lose elasticity, resulting in skin sagging. You must pay attention to doing enough sun protection at all times. At the same time, you can eat more fresh fruits and vegetables and foods rich in collagen, such as grapes, tomatoes, carrots, red wine, green tea and other foods. By effectively supplementing a large amount of natural vitamin C, you can fight against skin oxidation and relaxation. Foods such as pig's feet are rich in collagen, which can enhance the structural support of the skin, while enhancing the skin's water lock and moisturizing, keeping the skin tight and elastic. Maintain good facial expression habits: Bad emotions and expressions such as partial chewing, frowning, raising eyebrows, squinting, and moodiness will cause excessive movement of local skin and muscle tension, resulting in skin sagging due to excessive fatigue and lack of effective rest. Proper exfoliation: Women love to do facial exfoliation in beauty salons, but excessive exfoliation will cause the skin to become thinner and lose its effective natural protective barrier, which will be harmed by the adverse environment. At the same time, the skin will become dry and sensitive, and it is easy to cause skin sagging. Therefore, it is best to exfoliate lightly once a month.
