Brilio.net - A sagging face occurs when the skin begins to lose its firmness and elasticity. This condition is generally caused by several factors, one of which is the natural aging process. As we age, the production of collagen and elastin, two important proteins for the skin, decreases.
Collagen is a protein that plays a role in giving firmness to the skin, while elastin helps maintain its elasticity. When the production of these two proteins decreases, the skin begins to lose its density and firmness, making signs of aging such as sagging skin more visible.
The aging process can be accelerated if the skin is exposed to sunlight too often. UV rays from the sun are known to damage collagen and elastin fibers, which ultimately causes the skin to lose its firmness.
In addition, lack of skin care is also one of the causes of signs of aging. The habit of not using moisturizer, products that suit your skin type, or sunscreen can cause the skin to lose moisture and elasticity. Therefore, to prevent signs of aging, the first step that needs to be taken is to increase collagen and elastin levels in the skin.
As an alternative to collagen drink products, external treatments can be an effective option. One of them is using a collagen mask made from natural ingredients.
This mask only requires two main ingredients, namely rosehip oil and agar-agar or glycerin. Rosehip oil is rich in antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E. This antioxidant content helps fight free radicals and repair damage caused by UV rays, so that the skin texture becomes better.
The vitamin A in rosehip oil also works to increase collagen production, while the vitamin C content helps to reduce the appearance of scars and hyperpigmentation. This oil is effective in improving the appearance of uneven skin.
Meanwhile, agar-agar or glycerin acts as a natural moisturizer. The humectant content in glycerin can maintain skin moisture, smooth texture, and reduce fine lines and sagging. Its moisturizing properties also help maintain skin elasticity, so that the skin looks firmer and fresher.
So how do you make a collagen mask from the two ingredients above? For those of you who want to try, let's see the information below as compiled by briliobeauty.net from the YouTube channel diynaturalrecipes, Monday (12/30).
