Firm Up Face Skin With Clinically-Proven Methods

Expert Author Therese Higgins

Let's face it!  Everybody is looking for a quick fix. This is especially true when you want to firm up face skin. What most people don't understand, however, is it took many years to lose the firm, youthful tone of your skin.

A loose, sagging tone is evidence of damage which has occurred deep below the surface of the skin.  The results of rigorous scientific research search continue to show supporting your body's own natural healing ability is the most powerful,  long-lasting way to treat and heal cell damage.  Let me explain.

The Problem

You see, dermatological experts who study the factors behind healthy skin know the body's production of structural proteins and fatty acids are the deciding elements when it comes to treating sagging skin. 

With the passage of time, the years of exposure to sun and environmental toxins, coupled with a less-than-healthy diet, have a toll on our bodies' ability to produce these youth-maintaining substances. As our stores of collagen and elastin begin to diminish, they take with them the naturally-firm tone of our skin.

After years of concentrated study, scientists have discovered the production of collagen and elastin can be reactivated, reversing the signs of aging and restoring a healthier, more youthful appearance. 

The Solution

Studies have revealed three, clinically-proven methods for restoring the production of collagen and elastin for successful skin-firming results.

Method #1 Protect Skin from Further Cell Damage

As stated above, exposure to sun and environmental toxins wreak havoc on your skin cells. If you want to firm up face skin you must protect your cells from UV rays from the sun, and prevent the build up of toxins in your body.

Sun light protection is simple matter of wearing a brimmed hat, or using a parasol outdoors. Commercial sunscreens will do the job but at the cost of heavy synthetic chemical exposure.

Toxin build up can be avoided by making sure you drink at least 8-10, 8oz. glasses of water a day. 

Method #2 Keep antioxidant activity at high levels

Antioxidants are critical for keeping the development of free radicals from occuring. Free radicals are the cell-crippling molecules created from sun and toxin exposure.

You can keep your body's antioxidant activity at high levels by eating more brightly-colored fruit and vegetables. 

Method #3 Stick to products made from high concentrations of healthy, natural ingredients

Studies show natural ingredients possess nutritional properties which treat and heal healthy cell function (i.e. collagen and elastin production).  Natural, bio-active extracts share a molecular compatibility with human skin that gives them quick, easy access to deepest layers of the dermis.

Look for substances from natural sources like natural vitamin E, avocado and macadamia nut oils, Co Enzyme Q10, functional keratin, active Manuka honey, Japanese sea algae, shea butter, babbasu and others in order to get the best collagen and elastin-producing results.

The vast majority of skin firming creams are made with synthetic chemicals which are completely empty of any healing properties. Their main function it to provide a temporary "tightening" effect, produced with thick cosmetic film.

In addition to being ineffective at healing damaged cells, these chemical-based products present a potential health risk due to chemical exposure. 

So there you have it. The latest, clinically-proven methods to, successfully, treat aging skin. Not only are these methods simple to use, they are also safe, gentle and effective.
