HOW TO IMPROVE SKIN ELASTICITY - FIVE WAYS

As we age the two main proteins associated with skin elasticity – collagen and elastin – break down. This results in the appearance of wrinkles. While losing skin elasticity is an inevitable part of the aging process, the effects are accelerated by unhealthy habits. Here are five simple ways you can improve skin elasticity:

1. APPLY A SKIN TIGHTENING BODY LOTION AFTER SHOWERING

Skin tightening body lotions nourish ‘trouble areas’, like your thighs, arms and belly, to improve elasticity and leave your skin feeling firmer.

When applied daily, NIVEA’s Q10 Firming Body Lotion will help to firm your skin within two weeks.

The formula is enriched with Q10, creatine and L'Carnitine which work together to boost your skin cells’ energy and revive and strengthen your skin's ability to remain toned and supple.

If you have excessively dry skin, try NIVEA’s Q10 Rich Firming Lotion.

2. TREAT YOURSELF TO A MASSAGE

Use a hand massage tool to massage your firming body lotion into areas with cellulite .

Breaking down the fat cells which cause cellulite helps to remove the lumps in your skin and improve skin elasticity

3. BRUSH AWAY DEAD SKIN

Incorporate body brushing into your daily routine after showering.

Brushing in a circular motion towards your heart helps to invigorate your body and speed up the process of renewing skin cells.
