Summer is here, and so is the time to bare more skin! This season that calls for less clothing and more exposure can cause many to feel insecure or unsure about their skin. That said, when it comes to your skin, you are more than capable of taking matters into your own hands.
There are various types of skin care products and tools that can help you firm your skin to regain that youthful glow and smooth appearance just in time for summer.
Caring for your skin is all about finding the right product for you, whether you are on a tighter schedule and need an overnight mask or treatment, or if you’re more one for creams or a device:
Anti-Ageing Creams
Between SK-II creams and other firming moisturizers, there are many creams with anti-ageing properties that can help to firm your skin. If you are looking for a restorative cream, SK-II skincare products can change your life with their incredible results due to the brand’suse of Pitera – a rare anti-ageing ingredient – in their products.
Pitera is one many powerful ingredients used in creams to help to tighten and plump skin to achieve a youthful glow. Pitera, for one, is packed with organic acids, minerals and amino acids that are able to improve the natural rejuvenation of skin. It’s moisturizing, soft and helps to keep your skin clear and looking young.
This claimed miracle ingredient comes from the natural fermentation process of yeast and was discovered by SK II scientists in Japan years ago. Now, it’s one of the best known ingredients that demonstrate anti-ageing properties.
With an age-defying cream, you won’t only be able to restore your skin’s firmness, but also contribute to creating a younger look, somehow similar to rolling back the clock of your life with wrinkle reduction in both volume and length.
Firming Devices
Firming devices use different types of technology to activate collagen to firm your skin.For example, the NuFace Haute Contour Facial Toning Set lifts and tones by sending low-level micro-electrical currents through your skin. This device even has attachments specific for your eyes and lips!
There are various firming devices on the market that target different areas of your body. With these devices you can rectify different skin imperfections; you can get rid of fine facial lines, reduce cellulite on your legs and more!
Treatment Masks
Masks with anti-ageing properties are an easy, overnight way to treat your skin to help it regain its firmness.
SK-II’s facial treatment mask, for example, includes the rare anti-ageing ingredient Pitera that also moisturizes and hydrates your skin.Masks like these commonly include moisturizing properties to leave your skin looking soft and supple.
There are also treatment masks like JURLIQUE’s Purely Age-Defying Firming Treatment Mask that are made with concentrated botanicals, which produce collagen. Thishelps to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.
The types of facial treatment masks on the market are endless – they are easy to use, require little time commitment, andare packed with different anti-ageing properties. It’s just up to you to find the right mask to suit your needs whether you are looking to hydrate your skin or get rid of wrinkles.
Firming Oils
Oils are moisturizing by nature, but there are oil products armed with skin-strengthening ingredientsand properties that can help firm your skin.
For example, DR. DENNIS GROSS’ Triple C Peptide Firming Oil strengthens and hydrates your skin and protects it from aging. This particular oil boasts antioxidants that help to hydrate your skin and help it to appear firmer by protecting the water and lipid phases of your cells to initiate its repair functions.
Oils are easy to apply and generally contain natural ingredients that will heal your skin instead of irritating it.
Tightening Serums
As our body skin ages, it drops elasticity. Elasticity is what holds our skin firmly to our body and face. Elasticity depends on elastin and collagen, two elements of the deeper layer of our body skin called the dermis. The collagen and elastin responsible for tight skin are found in the innermost part of the skin, just above the fat layer which lies underneath our skin.
According to Best Health Magazine, anti-ageing serums are actually the market’s most expansive category for treating ageing skin. While oils are potent and boast antioxidants with hydrating properties, serums have a higher concentration of active ingredients that your skin absorbs quickly.
These ingredients are typically a combination of antioxidants, health acids and peptides that help increase collagen production. At the end of the day, serums penetrate the skin better than moisturizers, which provides quicker results.
An example of an effective firming serum is KORRES’ Black Pine 3D Sculpting, Firming & Lifting Serum, which has a 40 percent higher concentration of active ingredients for quick results. The serum’s properties increase elasticity and collagen production to help tighten and firm the skin.
These products all have different consistencies and work in different ways – but all have the end result of tightened, firmer skin. It’s up to you to identify what method best suits you and your daily schedule – do you prefer using an overnight mask, or would you rather use an electrical device? The options are endless.
