How to Tone up Loose Skin
For various reasons, our skin can sometimes lose its firmness and elasticity. Read on for four key tips on how to firm up your skin and prevent sagging!
Satisfy Your Skin’s Everyday Needs
To stay firm and toned, the skin requires daily nourishment - in fact, our various skin tissues have a range of needs. For example, the formation of collagen and elastin fibers depends on an adequate intake of vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. Collagen and elastin are two types of fibrous protein that play a key role in the skin’s structure, giving it its suppleness, elasticity, firmness, and resistance.
Nutritional deficiency can therefore have important consequences for the quality of our skin. Alongside a healthy, balanced diet, nutritional supplements can be vital in plugging any gaps. One such product is SuperSmart's Daily 6® multivitamin which provides a concentrate of vitamins and minerals in a single capsule. Proper hydration of skin cells is also essential and benefits not only from regular application of a moisturizing cream, but from supplementation with natural ceramides which help moisturize the skin at a deep level.
Protect the Skin from Oxidative Stress
Sagging skin can also be minimized if we combat premature aging of skin cells. To do so, we need to counteract oxidative stress, a process known to cause significant cellular damage. The stresses of daily life, air pollution, excessive exposure to UV rays, poor diet, etc. these are all factors that can promote oxidative stress, and as a result, premature aging of the skin.
The good news is that there are powerful natural antioxidants that can combat oxidative stress. They include a number of plant polyphenols such as resveratrol from grapes, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) from green tea, and curcumin from turmeric. These natural antioxidants, which feature in the formulation of dietary supplements such as AntiOxidant Synergy, help protect the skin by tackling oxidation and aging of skin cells.
Combat the Process of Glycation
Premature aging of the skin can also be caused by another reaction called glycation. While this mechanism is perhaps less well-known than oxidative stress, it can nonetheless have a significant impact on the integrity of the skin. Scientists have shown that glycation of elastin and collagen fibers may speed up loss of elasticity and tone in the skin.
Fighting glycation is thus a key element in preventing sagging of the skin, and for this, we need carnosine, a peptide known for its anti-glycation effect. Carnosine can be produced in the body when we digest protein-rich foods but it can also be provided by dietary supplements. One such product is Carnicine, a stable form of carnosine available from the SuperSmart catalogue.
Exercise to Firm up Your Skin
As mentioned, the skin loses its firmness for a variety of reasons. In addition to oxidative stress and premature aging of cells through glycation, physical inactivity and weight loss are also contributing factors. Following a long period of inactivity, or after losing weight, it is not unusual for the skin to appear untoned.
Experts often recommend taking exercise in order to maintain firm, toned skin. Among the sports recognized for having toning, firming effects is swimming which has the advantage of mobilizing every part of the body: arms, thighs, hips, stomach, etc. Fitness and strengthening exercises can also be effective and are often a popular choice for tightening the skin after weight loss or extended periods of inactivity.
