How to firm and plump skin up

Normal chronological aging, gravity, lifestyle choices and UV exposure can cause the skin to lose its firmness. Over time all these factors can bring on a gradual breakdown of your skin's connective tissue and the surrounding dermal matrix's ability to function optimally, which appears on the skin via lines, wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

Skin can appear slackened or loose, and in more severe cases, even hang. This sagging appearance is usually most noticeable along the jaw line, the middle of the face by the brows, and the mouth. Keep reading to see the best skin plumping treatments:

How to get plump skin

Three Australian wild plums plus a moisture-magnet marine bioactive push hydration through the epidermis to help support skin's natural volume.

2) Age Activist Clinical Youth Serum

This revolutionary all-in-one youth serum helps plump skin along with tackling all of your other anti-aging concerns.

3) Lifestyle

Aside from using skin plumping treatments, lifestyle choices make a huge impact on how youthful your complexion stays. While you can't stop chronologically aging, you can prevent premature aging. UV exposure is the biggest cause of premature aging, so if you truly want to prevent sagging skin along with other age signs, like wrinkles and sun spots, you need to stay protected. This means wearing a broad spectrum sunscreen every single day. Smoking, poor diet and lack of proper hydration will also quickly age your skin by causing wrinkles, sagging and more.
