If you\u2019re past age 30, perhaps firming creams have been on your mind. It\u2019s a fact of life that everything changes with time, including our skin. While most of us got used to a dewy, healthy glow and plump, toned complexion in our teens and 20s, everything changes as we approach our 30s and beyond.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most challenging aspects of the aging process is when taut skin starts to sag. While there\u2019s no such thing as a miracle product that can reverse the loss of tone, there are skin tightening creams on the market that can help improve skin laxity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Science Behind Firming Creams<\/h2>\n

Firming the skin comes down to stimulating collagen production. Starting around the age of 25, <\/span>collagen production declines<\/span> at a rate of approximately 1% each year. Since collagen is the component that gives the skin structure, it progressively becomes less firm and saggier as we get older.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When we reach our early 50s, collagen production ceases, and any existing collagen that remains gradually breaks down and becomes weaker, exacerbating skin laxity. There\u2019s also elastin to consider because it gives the skin its elasticity \u2014\u00a0or bounce. It\u2019s around a thousand times more flexible than collagen. Together, collagen and elastin are the main structural protein components of the skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best firming creams have something in common: ingredients that can help stimulate collagen and elastin production \u2014\u00a0although some products suitably deliver these compounds into the skin better than others. Even so, don\u2019t expect your skin to go back to what it used to look like in the past.<\/span><\/p>\n
