Brilio.net - As we get older, our skin also experiences aging . This condition is characterized by the appearance of wrinkles, sagging skin, wrinkles on the skin, fine lines, and so on. This change certainly makes some people nervous, because quite a few people want to maintain their beauty even though they are getting older.
Generally, decreased skin firmness is caused by reduced collagen and natural oil content of the skin. As you get older, the fat on your face will decrease and become thinner, so that the fat tissue spread across various areas of your face, such as your cheeks, temples, forehead, lips, including the neck, becomes saggy.
The reason is, collagen and elastin will naturally decrease with age. Because of this, the skin loosens easily and skin regeneration also slows down.
Apart from the aging process, sagging skin can also be experienced by people who are overweight and then go on a diet. These changes will be visible in several areas of the body, especially the neck, arms, stomach and thighs.
This process cannot be avoided, but that doesn't mean you can't overcome it, you know. Some people will maintain the firmness of their skin by using skin care products, medical procedures, and natural ingredients.
One natural ingredient that is often used to overcome the problem of aging facial skin is honey . Not without reason, because honey contains antioxidants and vitamin E which are effective in maintaining skin firmness. Even so, it turns out there are other natural ingredients that are no less effective for tightening the skin besides honey, you know.

Contains tomatoes to tighten wrinkles and sagging face.
Apart from health, tomatoes also have many benefits for the skin. The antioxidant content, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B, potassium and magnesium in tomatoes can brighten the face, remove stubborn blemishes, treat acne and overcome various skin problems related to aging.
Meanwhile, according to the journal Annual Review of Food Science and Technology, the lycopene content in tomatoes can help prevent changes in skin color, changes in texture, and fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin B in tomatoes is also known to play a role in repairing skin cells and preventing a decrease in collagen levels.
