JAKARTA - Early aging can happen to anyone. One of the signs is that facial skin is starting to loosen. For that, maintaining skin elasticity needs to be done. Although there is no effective drug that can increase elasticity, there are some easy techniques that you can practice at home.

If done consistently, this can help increase skin elasticity over time. However, it is important to note that the results displayed can vary and this solution must be done in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle and skin care routine. Here are some suggestions from the Times of India, Friday, June 16.

Stay hydrated: Drinking enough water can help maintain skin hydration. Well-hydrated skin greatly affects elasticity. For this reason, it is recommended that you consume at least eight glasses of water per day.

A balanced diet: Eating nutritious foods rich in fruits, vegetables, non-fat protein, and healthy fat can provide essential nutrients for skin health. Also foods with high vitamins A, C, E, and antioxidants.

Massage: A regular face massage can increase blood circulation and stimulate collagen production. Your face massage gently uses natural oil such as coconut oil or almonds with upward sweeps.

Exercise: Being involved in regular physical activities is able to increase blood circulation and improve overall skin health. Do some exercise that involves stretching and excisement, such as yoga or Pilates.

Face exercise: Some facial exercise can help tighten muscles under the skin, potentially increasing its elasticity. For example, you can try facial yoga exercises targeting certain areas, such as forehead or cheek exercises.

Exfoliation: Regular skin exfoliation aims to remove dead skin cells and stimulate cell renewal. Exfoliation can also increase moisturizer absorption and other skin care products. Use a soft exfoliator that is suitable for your skin type.

Moisturizer: Applying good quality moisturizers every day helps keep your skin hydrated, which can fix elasticity. Find products that contain ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, ceramide, and shea butter.

Use sunscreen: Protect your skin from dangerous UV rays by wearing a high SPF sunscreen, using a clothing shield, and looking for shade. Damage to sunlight can lead to premature aging and loss of elasticity.

Quit smoking: Smoking is known to damage collagen and elastin fiber, which causes reduced skin elasticity. Quit smoking can improve your health and appearance significantly.

Enough sleep: A fairly quality sleep allows your body to repair and rejuvenate your skin. Try to set aside 7-8 hours of sleep every night to improve overall skin health.
