Brilio.net - Everyone probably wants their face to stay youthful all the time. Even though they are 50 years old, it is not uncommon for many people to want to look like they are in their 20s. As is known, aging happens to everyone. When entering the aging phase, the entire skin experiences changes, including the face.
In this process, signs of aging begin to appear, one of which is that the skin begins to sag. As a person gets older, the fat on the face will decrease and become thinner, so that the fat tissue spread across various areas of the face, such as the cheeks, temples, forehead, lips, including the neck becomes saggy.
This process can also be caused by reduced production of elastin and collagen in the body, resulting in sagging skin and a wrinkled appearance. Apart from aging, sagging skin can also be experienced by obese people. Often people who follow a drastically restrictive diet will experience loose skin in a number of areas of the body, especially the neck, arms, stomach and thighs.
This happens because the skin, which initially stretches to accommodate fat, cannot become firm again after the fat is lost due to diet. Loose skin can get worse if you lead an unhealthy lifestyle, such as not getting enough rest or smoking. Not to mention, if you don't diligently use skincare, the aging process will occur more quickly.
The reason is, facial skin that is exposed to external factors such as pollution and excessive exposure to sunlight without protection and care , will be susceptible to damage and its regeneration will slow down. This is one of the causes of the face sagging easily. One treatment you can do is to use natural ingredients.
Even though it is made from natural ingredients, if used regularly, its properties are no less effective than expensive treatments at beauty clinics. Like the upload shared by the TikTok account @bang.sall90.

Phytochemicals, especially triterpenoid saponins and polyacetylene in gotu kola are known to increase collagen production, thereby preventing collagen damage, stimulating fibroblast proliferation which can provide structural support to the skin, and increasing skin elasticity. This super nutrient blend provides great benefits for the skin, including powerful anti-aging properties.
Reporting from Medical News Today, honey has many benefits for health and skin care because it contains antimicrobial, antibacterial, antioxidant, vitamin B, vitamin C, and wound healing properties. This content makes honey an attractive alternative ingredient for some people to treat skin problems.
The natural antioxidants contained in honey will help control the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Using honey as a mask ingredient can increase skin elasticity so that the face will look youthful and radiant. Honey can even keep your skin moist and supple.

Honey contains antioxidants that can fight damage caused by free radicals and premature aging. These antioxidants can maintain skin elasticity and prevent skin from sagging.
Other benefits of honey for skin.
The anti-inflammatory properties of honey can reduce inflammation of the skin. These anti-inflammatory properties can reduce swelling and redness associated with loose skin.
