Brilio.net - Facial skin that begins to sag is usually marked by reduced elasticity, the appearance of wrinkles, and fine lines that are increasingly visible. Generally, this condition begins to appear when someone enters the age of 35 years and above. Before the skin looks saggy, early signs such as fine lines often appear first in the forehead area, around the eyes, and corners of the lips.
Over time, these lines deepen and develop into wrinkles, especially when the face shows expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. The main cause of this condition is a decrease in the production of elastin and collagen in the skin tissue, two substances that play an important role in maintaining the elasticity and firmness of the skin.
In addition, as we age, the body's ability to regenerate skin cells begins to decline, making the skin more susceptible to damage. This causes signs of aging such as wrinkles and sagging skin. Not infrequently, this condition can reduce self-confidence because firm and fresh skin is still often considered one of the main factors in supporting appearance.
To overcome this problem, many people try various treatment methods, including medical procedures such as collagen injections. However, if you want to use a more natural method, some ingredients in the kitchen can actually be used to help tighten facial skin. As shared by the TikTok account @glassskinsecret on August 8, 2023, there is a natural mask that can be made easily and effectively to overcome sagging skin.
"Best mask for tightening... brightening... face lifting... dark spots removal... easy to make," she wrote in a video quoted by briliobeauty.net from the TikTok account @glassskinsecret on Tuesday (25/2).
One of the main ingredients in this mask is egg white, which is rich in protein and has albumin content that functions to help tighten the skin. Not only that, egg white also contains vitamin A, which is believed to be able to reduce the appearance of wrinkles while protecting the skin from damage caused by UV rays.

In addition to egg whites, another natural ingredient that has extraordinary benefits for the skin is honey. Honey is known as a natural moisturizer that is rich in antioxidants. This compound plays a role in warding off free radicals that cause premature aging and helps accelerate skin cell regeneration so that the face looks fresher and firmer.
Not to be missed, lemon is also a mainstay ingredient in natural facial care. Lemon is rich in vitamin C which helps stimulate collagen production in the skin. With enough collagen, the skin will feel tighter and more elastic. In addition, the antioxidants in lemon also play a role in protecting the skin from exposure to free radicals that can accelerate the aging process.
With just three simple ingredients, you can make an effective natural mask to overcome sagging skin and reduce wrinkles on the face. Regular use will help the skin look firmer, healthier, and younger.
