How to Tighten Loose Skin on Face and Neck

The true secret to anti-aging is ensuring your skin stays firm; younger looking skin is tight skin, it’s supple and radiant, resistant to fine lines and wrinkles. As we age, our skin reduces its production of collagen and loses its elasticity, resulting in a complexion that can look loose and saggy. 

Although there are other factors that contribute to loose skin – such as weight loss, environmental stress and excessive sun exposure – getting older is undoubtedly the main cause of loss of firmness in your complexion. So, if you’re wondering how to keep your complexion looking young and fresh, tightening the skin on your face and neck is the first place to start. Read on discover our ultimate firming regime.
