Getting older is something worth embracing! As we age, we gain life experience, insight and wisdom. However, you may not want your age and experience to show prematurely on your face. One drawback of aging is that unwanted changes, like sagging, fine lines and fragile skin could emerge sooner than they need to.

If a loss of skin elasticity is bothering you, fret not; there are options. Let's explore how the Firm Skin Acai-Booster Serum with potent antioxidants can prevent loose skin and tighten the appearance of your complexion to reclaim your skin’s firm, healthy look!

Signs Your Skin is Losing Elasticity
Before we get into solutions for correcting this issue, we’ll need to go over the signs of sagging skin. First, what is saggy skin and how do you spot it? Sagging due to aging occurs when the skin begins to lose the elasticity and collagen we’re born with. Elasticity refers to your skin’s ability to snap back after being pulled or stretched, something that occurs every time we frown, smile or laugh.
Most often, you’ll notice that sagging takes the form of a loosened appearance or drooping in areas that were once firm. You may also notice a wrinkled, leathery look to your complexion. While you can spot a loss of elasticity anywhere, you’re most likely to see its effects in the eye area, jowls, neck and decollete. You can learn more about saggy skin in this complete guide.
One reason we lose elasticity is because the skin is repeatedly exposed to environmental stress. As the body’s largest organ, our skin acts as a protective layer, shielding us from the negative impact of environmental stressors. This is vital to our overall health; however, it also means that our skin is frequently damaged by the negative effects of the environment. Lifestyle and environmental factors like air pollution, sun exposure, rapid weight loss, nutritional choices and smoking can affect skin elasticity.
Changing your lifestyle may help, however, some causes of elasticity loss are nearly impossible to avoid. Keep reading to learn how skin care and antioxidants can help restore the elasticity you’re missing.
