Brilio.net - Skin aging is a common condition that is usually experienced by someone entering old age. Usually various signs of skin aging will begin to appear when a person is 30 years or older. Some of the signs of aging in question are sagging skin, wrinkles, fine lines, and the appearance of black spots in several areas of the skin.
The face is the part of the body that is most susceptible to signs of skin aging. This is because the face has thinner skin than other areas of the body's skin. The face is also a part of the body that is often exposed to free radicals. Signs of skin aging are usually marked by the appearance of fine lines first, which get worse with age.
These fine lines will become clearer and deeper until they turn into wrinkles. This condition will be seen when someone makes an expression, such as frowning, smiling, and squinting their eyes. The appearance of facial wrinkles and sagging skin is caused by a decrease in elastin and collagen in skin tissue.
These two components play a role in keeping the skin firm and elastic. However, as we age, the body's ability to regenerate skin also decreases. So the skin will easily be damaged. This condition is enough to make sufferers lack self-confidence, because a toned and youthful-looking face is still a dream to support their appearance.
Therefore, many are willing to use various methods to tighten their sagging and wrinkled skin . One of them is doing collagen injections. Even though you can also use natural ingredients to tighten your face, you know.

Egg whites have a high protein content. This protein will provide benefits for body and skin health. Apart from protein, egg whites also contain albumin which can help tighten loose skin. The vitamin A content in egg whites is also believed to help reduce wrinkles and fight skin damage due to exposure to UV rays.
Honey is also a natural ingredient that is known for its benefits in moisturizing and tightening the skin. This is because honey contains antioxidants which are effective in treating wrinkles on the face. Antioxidants will also help the skin regeneration process faster so that the face will be firmer.
Not only that, as reported on the Healthline page, honey can also act as an effective emollient to maintain skin moisture. The emollient properties of honey will keep the skin firm and hydrated, thereby preventing and delaying the skin from premature aging.
This is no exception to lemon which is also commonly used as a facial care ingredient. Lemon is believed to increase collagen in the skin. The vitamin C and antioxidant content in lemons can provide benefits for preventing free radicals that cause collagen damage. So the face will feel firmer and free of wrinkles.
Lemon is also effective in treating other signs of aging, one of which is black spots. The citric acid content in lemon can fade black spots and make a dull face look evenly bright.
