Brilio.net - Sagging facial skin is one of the main signs of aging, usually visible after the age of 40. However, these signs can also appear earlier if you are frequently exposed to factors that accelerate skin aging. Facial sagging occurs due to a decrease in skin volume with age, influenced by a decrease in the production of collagen and elastin, two important proteins that form the structure of the skin. As a result, the skin becomes thinner and saggy, giving rise to wrinkles and fine lines.
In addition to age factors, exposure to sunlight and pollution also accelerate facial sagging by damaging the skin's natural moisture. An unbalanced diet and lack of hydration, such as not drinking enough water, also play a role in accelerating facial aging. To overcome this problem, natural ingredients can be used as alternative solution to prevent sagging skin.
One trick is to use a mixture of coffee, aloe vera, and honey as demonstrated by the owner of the Instagram account @beauty_health_by.mandeep, reported by briliobeauty.net on Sunday (1/12).

Coffee grounds contain antioxidants, such as chlorogenic acid, which help protect the skin from free radical damage. These antioxidants can also stimulate the production of collagen, a protein that helps maintain skin elasticity and firmness. In addition, coffee grounds also have natural exfoliating properties that can help lift dead skin cells and stimulates the regeneration of new cells, giving the impression of younger skin.
