The Best Home Treatments for Sagging Facial Skin

Sagging skin can make you look older than you are. If you're starting to see signs of sagging facial skin and you don't want to spend a lot of money on professional treatments or plastic surgery, employ a few home remedies to help tighten some of the looseness.

  1. Facial Exercise

    • Facial exercise is one of the best natural home treatments for sagging facial skin. Although results will not be noticeable immediately, facial exercise is one of the most cost effective methods to treat sagging facial skin. One way to exercise the muscles and skin on your face is to massage the facial area. Gently massage the different areas of your face by opening and closing your eyes and moving your lips to the left, right, up and down. You can also smile as wide as you can to exercise the muscles and skin around the mouth area. Use your palm and fingers in a circular motion to massage your face.

    Drink Water Regularly

    • Dehydrated skin tends to sag, which makes it look aged. Lack of water can also make the skin appear dry and cracked. To keep the skin well hydrated, you must drink at least eight glasses of water a day. This will keep your skin plumped and appear fresh. You can also include water-rich foods in your snacks and meals such as salads and fruits like watermelon, oranges and pears.

    Homemade Tightening Facial Masks

    • Applying homemade facial tightening masks is another inexpensive method to treat sagging facial skin. Mix a few drops of honey, three egg whites, and a few drops of lemon juice to create a tightening mask. The lemon juice, aside from tightening the facial skin, also removes the dark spots on your face. Apply the mixture on your face and neck and let it dry. Rinse it with warm water afterward. To tighten the skin more, you can rinse your face again with cold water. Honey can also be used alone as a tightening facial mask. Just apply it on your face and neck and let it stay for 20 minutes. Rinse with warm water afterward.

    Active Treatments

    • You can use creams and serums such as retinol cream, alpha or beta hydroxy acids, and facial firming and moisturizing creams. These are referred to as "active" treatments by the beauty industry and are designed to help your skin rejuvenate faster while you sleep and look firmer when you awake.
