Brilio.net - As people get older, a person's skin will lose its firmness. As a result, the skin appears wrinkled, fine lines, or even sagging. This condition can be experienced by anyone and can occur in someone aged 30 years and over.
The natural aging process is the main factor causing facial sagging. As we age, skin cells experience decreased regeneration, the skin becomes thin, and the connective tissue under the skin begins to weaken.
But the problem of sagging skin is not only influenced by age. There are many other external factors such as sun exposure. Excessive sun exposure can damage collagen and elastin in the skin, which speeds up the aging process and causes sagging skin. Exposure to UV rays can also cause hyperpigmentation which results in dull skin and the formation of fine wrinkles.
Sagging facial skin is also made worse if you have an unhealthy lifestyle, for example smoking. Cigarettes contain chemicals that can damage collagen and elastin in the skin, and disrupt blood flow to the skin. This can cause facial skin to become saggy or even look older more quickly.
To overcome sagging facial skin, you can maintain a healthier lifestyle and exercise regularly to maintain skin firmness. Apart from that, you can also use skincare products that help produce skin collagen. However, products containing collagen are quite expensive.
Luckily, there are other alternatives that you can use to treat sagging skin. You can use natural ingredients to tighten sagging skin to make it look younger.
However, remember that before using this natural ingredient, you should consult a doctor first. The reason is that everyone has different skin sensitivity to the contents of beauty products and beauty masks made from natural ingredients.
Well, in an upload reported by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel @I Am That Girl, (11/3) this woman shows how to tighten a sagging face with natural ingredients, namely using bananas , egg whites and rice flour.
Banana is a type of fruit that comes from the Musa genus and belongs to the Musaceae family. Bananas are known as large herbaceous plants with elongated and large leaves, which grow directly from the stem. Banana stems are soft because they are formed from soft midrib layers.

Bananas can be eaten directly or processed first. Basically, bananas are rich in nutrients that are beneficial for the health of the human body. Briliobeauty.bet reported from Daily Heart Alerts (11/3), bananas contain essential vitamins such as B3, B5, B6, and vitamin C which are efficacious for maintaining and improving skin condition.
The extraordinary high content of vitamins C and B6 in bananas can help fight various signs of aging, especially regarding skin elasticity and wrinkles. It's not surprising that banana masks are often used to treat dull skin, black spots, fine lines, or tighten sagging skin.
Apart from being delicious to eat, eggs can be used for facial treatments such as tightening sagging faces. Egg whites are rich in albumin protein. This protein is often used to help tighten sagging facial skin. Apart from that, egg white also contains a natural exfoliator which helps remove dead skin cells while reducing fine lines.

Apart from working in treating sagging skin, it seems that the albumin content in egg whites is also able to constrict blood vessels below the surface of the skin. This can make blood flow smoother so that facial skin feels tight and pores appear smaller.
Reporting from Healthline, rice flour is made by grinding rice grains into powder. This rice flour contains para-aminobenzoic acid (aka PABA or vitamin B10), which stimulates cell regrowth and protects the skin from sun exposure. Rice flour also contains ferulic acid which is an organic compound with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.

Although in lower amounts compared to fruits and vegetables, rice flour also contains several antioxidants that help protect the skin from free radical damage and keep the skin healthy.
The use of rice flour is generally considered safe for facial care, mainly because it is a natural ingredient and does not contain harsh chemicals. However, there are several things that need to be considered to ensure the safety and effectiveness of using rice flour on facial skin, such as skin sensitivity/allergies, don't use it excessively, and it must be combined with other ingredients.
In principle, these three natural ingredients are very useful in facial care. For this reason, let's look at the review of how to make a mask to tighten a sagging face using the following three natural ingredients.
