CAN YOU ACTUALLY FIRM SKIN

CAN YOU ACTUALLY FIRM SKIN?

1) What makes skin strong and firm? (e.g. collagen? peptides? etc)

The innermost skin layer containing elastin and collagen

2) Is it possible to restore skin firmness, either completely or a little? Please explain.

Definitely yes. You can use facial exercises, including jawline workouts that decrease double chin appearance, and tighten the face muscles. I also recommend using firming creams, specifically with anti-aging formulations, such as collagen and retinol. You can also wear sunscreen regularly to protect the skin from UV rays damage that causes sagging skin. Other people may prefer collagen peptides and vitamin C supplements, which contain antioxidants for repairing damaged cells.

3) What skincare ingredients/practices do you recommend for improving firmness in the skin? Does this apply to the body as well?

I advise my clients to use the following;

Retinol

Retinol contains vitamin A that smoothens and firms the skin. The ingredient also inhibits an enzyme that destroys collagen. It is effective and I highly recommend.

Collagen boosters

Collagen boosters like collagen peptides contain amino acids, the basic unit of proteins. I recommend a HydroPeptide Nimni cream for nighttime application for a firmer skin

4) How long does it take to see improvement in skin firmness?

Most of my clients report getting results after three weeks of regular use of the ingredients I recommend.

I am deeply convinced that each patient needs a unique, individual approach. Therefore, I use different psychotherapy methods in my work. During my studies, I discovered an in-depth interest in people as a whole and the belief in the inseparability of mind and body, and the importance of emotional health in physical health. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (a big fan of thrillers) and going on hikes.
