Aloe vera skin tightening

As you grow old your skin starts to lose volume and become saggy. This can happen if you lose weight fast. There are two types of sagging, muscle and skin. Muscle flaccidity is more difficult to treat as it is deep. Skin sagging is more common. You can use our aloe vera skin tightening to get rid of lose skin. But before that let us look at the causes of lose skin.

Causes of lose skin

The most important reason for saggy skin is tissue aging. The production of the proteins collagen and elastin reduces as we age. These two are needed to keep the skin firm. Other causes of saggy skin include gravity, smoking cigarettes and alcoholic beverages. You can get flaccidity from sudden weight loss or pregnancy.

Aloe vera mask for skin tightening

Aloe vera is a plant rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, C and E, which makes it an excellent ingredient for homemade face masks for skin tightening. Aloe vera can make your skin lighter and keep it hydrated. Hydration will make your skin plump and tighten it.

Below is our aloe vera and papaya mask. Papaya is a fruit which is rich in anti-oxidants and cocoa powder is a natural exfoliant.

For this mask you will need 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, a slice of papaya and 1 tea spoon of aloe vera gel. Take a papaya and cut it into four parts. Peel one of the parts (the slice to be used). Keep the peeled papaya in a bowl and add the aloe vera gel and cocoa powder. Mix the ingredients into a smooth paste with a fork.

Apply the paste on your skin and leave for 15 minutes. Rinse with warm water and dry your skin. You can do this twice a week.

Another variation of the above aloe vera mask for skin tightening is to apply the plant directly to the affected areas of the skin instead of mixing with other ingredients. This will prevent your skin from getting saggy and lose.

By using the above two you can tighten your skin. There are also other natural ways by which you can tighten your skin. These are mentioned below.

Other ways to tighten your skin

One of the best ways to tighten your skin is by eating foods that add volume to your skin. Egg whites, chicken and bone broth are rich in the protein collagen. Eating these will tighten your skin. Also you need to eat foods that will keep your skin hydrated. Fish like salmon, tuna and mackerels are good to preserve your moisture levels.

Another way by which you can tighten your skin is by quitting cigarette smoking. Cigarettes create free radicals in the skin which damage collagen and elastin. Also drink alcohol in moderation. Alcohol causes dehydration. This will sap the moisture in your skin and cause skin sagginess. By quitting smoking and drinking alcohol in moderation you will go a long way in your efforts to tighten your skin.
