Brilio.net - Skin aging is a natural thing and will be experienced by everyone who has entered old age. This condition occurs due to decreased skin firmness and elasticity. Various signs of aging that usually appear are wrinkles, wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.
Why does skin become saggy when aging? It is linked to the production of collagen and elastin, two important types of proteins that maintain skin elasticity and firmness. As we age, collagen and elastin production in the skin decreases, causing a loss of natural firmness and moisture. As a result, the structure of the facial skin weakens and gives rise to the wrinkle effect mentioned previously.
Not only that, when a person starts to enter old age or usually over 35 years, skin regeneration also slows down. Because of this, it becomes difficult for the skin to repair itself and causes damage quickly.
The skin aging process itself can be accelerated by various factors, including exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, air pollution, and unhealthy lifestyles such as smoking. Even stress and lack of sleep can have a negative impact on skin health, thereby speeding up the aging process. This can clearly be a problem for many people.
Hey, even so, you don't need to be confused about this problem. The thing is, you can use various natural ingredients that are easy to find as alternative solutions to inhibit aging. This was demonstrated by the owner of the Instagram account @evergreen_masala as reported by briliobeauty.net on Tuesday (23/4) who used a mixture of cucumber, aloe vera and rose water as the solution.

Cucumber content for sagging face.
Cucumbers have a high amount of water components, so they are effective in deeply hydrating the skin and helping stimulate collagen formation. Apart from that, cucumber also contains antioxidant compounds such as vitamin C which helps stimulate the growth process of new skin cells. The astringent qualities of cucumber also help soothe and tighten loose, wrinkled skin.
Benefits of aloe vera gel to tighten sagging face.
Aloe vera gel itself has long been known to be rich in many beneficial compounds, including vitamins (A, C, and E), minerals, enzymes, amino acids, and polysaccharides. Through it, aloe vera can deeply hydrate the skin and stimulate collagen production in the skin. Apart from that, the high water content in aloe vera also helps provide hydration to the skin, making it feel fresher and supple.
As quoted from Style Craze, aloe vera gel contains fibroblast cells which can penetrate into the skin. This content is believed to be able to tighten a sagging face. Not only that, this substance is also believed to improve the skin, including reducing the appearance of wrinkles and various other signs of aging.
It turns out that rose water can overcome sagging facial wrinkles.
Apart from its fragrant smell, rose water apparently contains many components in the form of vitamins and essential fatty acids. The antioxidant properties of vitamin E in roses can help fight free radicals and prevent premature aging. Vitamin C can help increase collagen production, and vitamin A can stimulate skin cell regeneration. The combination of all these vitamins means that rose water can treat aging skin well.
So, you can use the three ingredients above in the following way.
