Brilio.net - Not only is hair starting to turn gray, someone who is over 35 years old will also experience various signs of skin aging. Some of the signs of skin aging in question are wrinkles, furrows, fine lines, and sagging skin. Not without reason, this condition occurs because the skin begins to lose its elasticity.
Usually wrinkles first appear in the facial area, where the skin naturally forms folds every time the face makes an expression, especially when smiling, squinting and frowning. As we age, the skin's ability to protect itself from damage decreases. This also happens because the production of collagen and elastin in skin tissue begins to decrease.
This is what causes wrinkles to appear on the face and other skin areas. Decreased collagen and elastin will make the skin lose firmness and appear saggy. In fact, its regeneration will also be hampered, making it susceptible to damage due to exposure to sunlight, pollution and other free radicals.
Apart from aging factors, wrinkles and sagging skin on the face are also made worse by various external factors. Such as excessive sun exposure, pollution, dead skin cells, weather changes, dehydrated skin, the effects of stress, and unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking. This condition can even occur more quickly when a person is still a teenager, which is called premature aging.
Sagging and wrinkled skin will make your face look old and less fresh. It's not surprising that many people are looking for ways to delay or prevent this from happening. Starting from getting treatment at a beauty clinic, using skincare products, and using natural ingredients.
One of them was shared by a TikTok user with the account name @cadittas who uses kitchen ingredients. The kitchen ingredients in question are ginger, honey and lemon juice.
