Brilio.net - When a person begins to enter old age, not only will hair grow gray, but the skin will also experience various signs of aging. One of them is the skin that begins to appear sagging. Sagging skin is a natural process and everyone goes through it. Usually this condition will begin to appear when a person reaches the age of 40 years.
This happens because the fat on the face will decrease and become thinner, so that the fat tissue spread across several areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, forehead, lips, and including the neck begins to loosen. The aging process can also be caused by the body's production of elastin and collagen starting to decline, causing the skin to lose its ability to maintain its firmness and suppleness.
Various signs of aging such as sagging skin are also caused by several external factors such as excessive sun exposure, air pollution, extreme weather changes, dry skin, strict diets and unhealthy lifestyles.
This condition can reduce self-confidence, because it can make the face look older. It's no wonder that many people, especially women, use various methods to tighten their facial skin to make it look more youthful and free from sagging. One of the most frequently used efforts to treat sagging face is by doing Botox treatment.
Even though Botox treatment is an instant solution to overcome this problem, not everyone can do it. Considering the price is relatively expensive and needs to be done regularly. Another solution, you can use natural ingredients which are no less effective than Botox treatments.
One of them was shared by a TikToker via his personal account @glassskinsecret on December 12 2023. The video contains how to tighten a sagging face using 3 kitchen ingredients. The kitchen ingredients in question are milk, corn flour and olive oil .

"Better than botox (Better than botox)," wrote the TikToker who briliobeauty.net quoted from the TikTok account @glassskinsecret, Thursday (18/4).
Milk content to tighten sagging face.
Milk is a drink that is high in calcium content. Not only is it good for body health, milk also has various benefits for skin beauty. The reason is, this natural ingredient contains high protein which is antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant.
Thanks to this content, milk is believed to be able to tighten and act as a natural moisturizer for the skin. Even the antioxidant content in it is also effective in improving the condition of the skin, making it look youthful and firm.
Benefits of corn flour for treating facial aging.
Corn flour is a natural ingredient that is usually used when cooking. However, corn flour actually also has benefits for tightening a sagging face and treating various signs of skin aging. The reason is that this natural ingredient contains a number of proteins which can help increase collagen in the skin. Apart from that, the vitamin A content in it also functions to disguise black spots due to hyperpigmentation.
Olive oil can overcome sagging face to make it more supple and firm.
Olive oil is believed to be able to overcome sagging skin and make it more supple. This is thanks to the squalene and vitamin E content in it which can also keep the skin hydrated and moist. Squalene can lock water in the skin, while vitamin E increases the skin's ability to absorb water. That's why olive oil can make the skin more moisturized and is believed to increase collagen production to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and sagging skin.
Relying on these three natural ingredients, you can make a mask that is believed to be able to tighten a sagging face. Not only that, this mask is also effective in making your face supple and youthful. Here's how to make and use it.
