Something that we all notice as we get older is a loss of firmness and volume in the skin. When it comes to firming up your skin, a holistic approach is required that includes the right skin care products, tools, and careful techniques.
The Best Firming Skin Care for Mature Skin
Lifting & firming up your skin is going to take a full-on skincare strategy with three main components. Here’s our guide to creating the best strategy for you to help firm up your skin!
Firming Skin Care Products
The number one thing that your skin care products need to do is increase collagen levels in the skin. Naturally depleting collagen levels are what’s responsible for lack of elasticity and firmness in the skin; delaying this from happening as much as possible will go a long way to ensuring skin is firmer and younger-looking for longer!
The best firming skin care for mature skin usually contains these superstar ingredients: Vitamin C, Retinol, and Peptides.
Skin Care Tools
Don’t discount the power of skincare tools - especially ones with LED light. LED light stimulates fibroblasts in the skin, encouraging them to increase collagen levels - firming skin and improving elasticity.
Application Technique
Here’s the thing - we’re all fighting against gravity, right? When applying your skincare, apply it in upward strokes instead of downwards. This feels really good (and pays off in the long run) for two reasons. First, it helps to boost circulation in your skin. Secondly, it means you’re not dragging your skin downwards, potentially speeding up any skin-sagging.
