Have you ever wondered what makes your skin feel so supple and tight? Collagen and elastin are the two proteins that are responsible for providing your face with elasticity. They also help to keep your skin feeling smooth, tight and wrinkle-free. But there are unavoidable factors such as aging, genetics degrade the collagen and elastin in our skin and aging slows down the production of new collagen and hence, wrinkles and saggy skin. Not only that, other factors such as sun exposure and pollution can also result in the breakage of the two heroic proteins.
So, if you see the skin around your neck and face or even chest getting all saggy and loose, you know that you need to act on it, fast! Thankfully, we can always reverse the damage to some extent with specially made skin tightening masks and facial treatments!
The best way is to boost the collagen in your skin with the help of face tightening masks that you can either prepare at home or purchase at a local drugstore. But choosing the kind of skin tightening mask depends on your skin type and most importantly, is it doing anything wonderful to your skin or not. With the right amount of ingredients, your collagen would increase and would prove effective to start tightening your loose skin.
With that being said, it’s no hidden fact that we all would get old and have wrinkly skin by the time we are in our 50s, but we can always make sure that we take care of our skin and try to maintain its elasticity. We can always try to delay the process just a little bit, right?
Read along to read about some effective homemade remedies for skin tightening.
Home Remedies for Skin Tightening
It’s sad, it’s true- our skin is aging. And it’s aging fast! Fine lines, wrinkles and other unwelcome guests can arrive earlier than anticipated if we do not keep a check on our skin (and unhealthy habits of course). We cannot emphasize enough on the fact that you can do miracles with the ingredients you will find in your kitchen. With that being said, it’s time to raid the kitchen to try these skin tightening home remedies.
‘Coz Aloe You
You will need:
– Freshly plucked aloe vera leaf
Does this wonder plant even need an introduction? Aloe vera has so many amazing benefits for your skin, your hair, your body that I can go on and on. It also works as a great anti-ageing agent. This is the easiest way to ensure that your skin stays fresh, hydrated and super tight. Apply a thin layer every day and night and you won’t be surprised if your skin is glowing to the gods.
And don’t worry if you do not have an aloe vera plant, you know we always have your back.
Works Egg-actly How You Imagine It
You will need:
– Albumin (the white part of an egg)
– 2 spoons of honey
Egg white, in my opinion, is really underrated. Hair falling off, apply egg white. Acne? Apply egg white. Seriously, an egg can do wonders for both your hair and skin.
To turn it into an effective face tightening mask, just mix the ingredients into a thick paste and apply an even layer on your face and neck. Leave it for 15 minutes and rinse it off. Make sure you feel it *tightening* otherwise leave it for a little longer.
Repeat once a week for amazing results.
To Full-fill All Your Skin Tightening Needs
You will need:
– Fuller’s earth
– Yogurt
– Rosewater
This mask is amazing for both face tightening and face uplifting. Start by mixing all these wonderful ingredients in a bowl. Take one spoon of both multani mitti and yogurt and mix till it’s thick. Add one tablespoon of rose water in the mixture and keep mixing till thick. Apply the layer on your face and neck and let it dry for 30 minutes. This mask is really marvelous…and smells great too.
Bean There, Done That
You will need:
– Grounded coffee
– Olive oil
– Cinnamon
After you pour yourself a big cuppa coffee, make this skin tightening mask at home. Simply mix a ¼ cup of ground coffee with three spoons of heated olive oil and half a tablespoon of cinnamon. If you have sensitive skin, just a pinch would do just fine. Well, this face tightening mask is a little different as it’s more like a facial scrub.
Apply the mixture evenly on your face, up to your chest and massage well. Do this once a week and we bet your skin will be thanking you.
PS: Did you know that your favourite coffee helps to keep your skin as smooth as a baby’s butt?
