The Birth Of The Sag

Facial muscles are terribly underused. As a result, most people have weak muscles, which invariably sag. And when the muscles sag, the skin attached to them also sags. In fact, slack facial muscles are one of the main causes of sagging and drooping that most of us eventually experience.

Sagging is a result of the inevitable reduction in collagen and elastin – the skin’s connective fibers - as we age. These fibers give skin elasticity and suppleness, and there’s no way to restore these substances. Shrinkage of diminished subcutaneous fat, or fat under the skin, also contributes to sagging. Fat reserves under the skin grow smaller with age, and this can partially account for that mid-life “gaunt” look that hollows out an aging face.

Sagging produces under eye bags and loose folds of skin on the upper eyelids. Lack of exercise makes muscle tissue thin and wasted. Working isolated muscles with face exercises helps restore muscle tissue’s elasticity and tone, making it plump and renewing strength. Like biceps, pectorals or abdominal muscles, facial muscles must be exercised in order to be firm, fit and strong.
