Is there skin all over your body that you want to tone and tone? Most of us have areas where our skin is slack from age or weight loss. Maybe it's your stomach, your neck, your elbows, or your knees. Of course, exercise and diet play a role in smoothing out skin tone and texture. But in addition to these healthy habits, we should also learn which skin care products can plump up sagging skin. Read on to discover the best products and skin care techniques to help counteract sagging skin on your body.
Where to target sagging skin
As we get older, it is only natural for the skin to appear slack and slack. Common areas of the body with loose skin are:
- legs
- face
- neck
- buttocks
- weapons
- stomach
- elbow
- knee
Laxity affects these areas because, due to aging, sun damage, and the fact that the skin around our joints is often flexed and stretched, the skin loses collagen and, with it, elasticity. The neck and chest area (the cleavage or cleavage) is one of the first areas of the body to show the tell-tale signs of aging. With thinner skin, less oil-producing sebum glands and a high risk of sun exposure, this often neglected area can quickly take on a less glamorous appearance. Laxity also occurs on the elbows and knees, as well as legs and thighs (the latter area often combined with cellulite). In addition to natural aging, sagging skin can also be the result of drastic weight loss. Here are some skin care tips to help you continue this healthy lifestyle and tone up your altered skin tone.
4 ways to tighten sagging body skin
Tighten the skin of your face and neck
For a perfect cleavage, extend the steps of your skin care beyond the jaw area and pay special attention to your neck and chest. Pamper your skin overnight with our award-winning Monoi Age Corrective Night Cream for face and neck. This deeply moisturizing, fragrant cream tightens the appearance of the skin, improves the appearance of elasticity, and leaves it with moisture and vitality in the morning. Another option to improve your routine is our Hibiscus Ultra Lift Neck Cream. Apply to neck and chest in gentle, upward strokes. Over time, you should notice skin that looks firmer.
Exfoliate your entire body
To promote peeling and blood circulation, Lead Skin Care Trainer Natalie Pergar recommends using the drybrush method with either a drybrush or a loofah tool. Either tool allows you to do the drybrush method by swiping your tool over any slack areas you want. This method simultaneously removes dead skin cells and improves blood circulation. Using firm to medium pressure, stroke your arms, stomach, legs, and back, or any other area that is worrying. To learn more, watch this In The Mix video on how to tighten sagging body skin.

Natalie recommends using a sugar and / or salt scrub to exfoliate your entire body. Our Blueberry Soy Sugar Scrub contains raw sugar cane granules, a natural alpha hydroxy acid. Exfoliating your body with this ingredient will leave your skin feeling soft and supple and you will notice that moisture levels improve.
For a very polished effect, our Stone Crop Revitalizing Body Scrub contains both the moisturizing properties of sugar and the invigorating benefits of salt. It contains stone fruits that moisturize and lighten the appearance of the skin, while the raw sugar grains and rock salt provide a manual exfoliation.
Body lotions and moisturizers
These cream and body lotion suggestions can be used for sagging skin all over your body, but some may be more beneficial than others for certain areas. For example, if you are worried about cellulite, Stone Crop Contouring Body Cream, thanks to its formula with microalgae extract, will reduce the occurrence of this concern. This luxurious contouring cream can also be used as an all-over moisturizer or as a targeted treatment to tone and tone where you need it most. You can use it on your knees, elbows, neck, stomach, thighs and legs – anywhere you want to tone up a bit.
The Monoi Night Body Cream is another skin-tightening, moisturizing body cream that makes the skin smoother in the morning. The main ingredient, monoi, is a moisturizing and protective oil derived from the medicinal plant called Tahitian Flower, which moisturizes the skin without stripping it of its natural oils.
According to Natalie, our Coconut Firming Body Lotion is particularly helpful for the abdominal area. It contains natural coconut, shea butter and grape seed oil that gives your skin a toned and toned appearance while providing deep and lasting moisture.
Exercise and a healthy lifestyle
As mentioned earlier, you can have sagging skin from significant weight loss. Even so, the best way to get rid of sagging body skin is to keep exercising! As Healthline notes, building muscle mass through weight training reduces sagging skin.
“If excess oil stretches the skin for long periods of time, the skin may lose some of its ability to shrink with weight loss. Replacing this lost fat with muscle mass can reduce the appearance of sagging skin, ”says Healthline.
