When I look in the mirror, I realize my skin doesn't look the same as it used to. One day, I suddenly realize that even with makeup on, my skin doesn't look as plump as it used to. Especially now that it's dry season, my skin feels less elastic and saggy.
Skin elasticity is not easy to recover once it has been lost, but it can be sufficiently improved through lifestyle management, home care, and treatment.
So today, I'll explain everything from the causes of skin loss of elasticity to home care, prevention methods, and even dermatological procedures related to skin elasticity!
1. Causes of decreased skin elasticity
1) Aging
As we all know, aging causes skin to lose elasticity. As we age, collagen, elastin, and fat in our skin decrease, leading to a loss of elasticity.
2) UV rays
Strong UV rays are also said to cause skin elasticity loss. They say that UV rays can reach the dermis, destroying collagen and reducing elasticity.
3) Dry skin
Additionally, it is said that when the skin becomes dry due to cold and dry weather or the use of heating devices such as heaters, the skin barrier becomes weak and the oil-moisture balance is broken, which can lead to a decrease in skin elasticity.
2. Skin Elasticity Home Care and Prevention
It's important to take care of your skin's elasticity on a regular basis. Here are some ways you can maintain skin elasticity in your daily life!
1) UV protection
As mentioned earlier, UV rays can cause skin elasticity loss, so it's important to be mindful of sun protection. It's important to thoroughly apply sunscreen before going outside and use parasols, hats, and other sunscreen to protect your skin from UV rays.

2) Moisturizing care
It's also important to stay hydrated to prevent dry skin. Drinking plenty of water is crucial, and applying a moisturizer appropriate for your skin type after washing your face helps maintain elasticity.

3) Managing lifestyle habits
Additionally, it's important to get enough rest and consume a balanced diet to maintain skin elasticity. Smoking can also reduce collagen and elastin production, so it's recommended to refrain from it.
3. Skin elasticity management dermatological treatment

4. Q&A
1) Can I improve skin elasticity loss through home care?
: In the case of initial loss of elasticity, it can be managed with home care, but if wrinkles have already formed and sagging has progressed, it is helpful to use concurrent treatment.
2) How should I care for myself after a lifting procedure?
To maintain skin elasticity for a long time after the procedure, moisturizing and sun protection are essential. Additionally, avoid saunas and steam rooms immediately after the procedure, as skin may become sensitive.
3) Are there any eating habits that help maintain skin elasticity?
: To maintain skin elasticity, it is recommended to avoid a diet high in salt and sugar, and to eat foods rich in protein and vitamins to promote collagen production.
