Sagging skin is the result of an unchanging process in the body - aging. It is impossible to completely avoid this, but delaying it for several years is quite possible. Especially for you, we have compiled a list of the 10 most effective natural methods for rejuvenation.
Egg white
First of all, the usefulness of egg white is explained by its strong astringent effect. The substance causes the skin to contract, causing it to tighten. In addition, it contains a lot of hydrolipids that promote active restoration of the epidermis.
To use egg white V for cosmetic purposes, you need to beat it into foam. Then the mass should be applied to the skin, rubbing into those areas where it is most flabby. After 15-20 minutes, you can wash off the mask and enjoy the result. It is advisable to repeat the procedure twice a week.
Lemon
Collagen is produced naturally in the body to give your skin firmness and elasticity. To increase the level of this component in the cells of the epidermis, you need to “stock up” on vitamin C, which large quantities found in lemons. This method will also smooth out deep wrinkles, which will be an additional bonus. 
To combat sagging skin, squeeze lemon juice. The liquid is simply rubbed into problem areas on the face and left to absorb for about 10 minutes. To get maximum results, you can follow this cosmetic procedure up to 3 times a day. If lemon juice is too dry for your skin, you can mix it with water.

But instead of buying aloe vera juice from the store, try getting it yourself. So at least you will be sure of the naturalness of the product. The resulting juice will be more like a gel. This slightly viscous substance should be applied to the skin for 15 minutes. You can vary the frequency of the procedures yourself - from once a week to several times a day. To enhance the effect, you can add additional ingredients to the recipe, for example, a spoonful of honey.
Cucumber
Have you ever been to a sanatorium? In such establishments, as a rule, visitors are regularly offered slices of cucumber as a rejuvenating mask. You just need to put them on your closed eyelids for a while to get stunning results. The mask removes wrinkles and dark circles around eyes. 
But cucumbers can also be used as a means for general skin rejuvenation. To do this, you need to take one vegetable and process it in a blender to get juice. The resulting semi-liquid gruel can be rubbed onto problem areas. When the mask dries, it should be washed off with water.
Olive oil massage
This type of massage is unlikely to be offered to you at a spa, so you will have to perform it yourself. Olive oil is a godsend for aging skin. It contains a whole complex of vitamins and antioxidants. These substances can make your skin even smoother than before. Vitamins A and E are among the most beneficial for the epidermis, and they are found in abundance in olive oil. 
To begin, take some of the product and warm it slightly. When the olive oil is warm, begin to rub it into the skin, performing a deep massage problem areas within 10 minutes. It's best to do this just before bed.

After the composition dries on the surface of the face, you can wash off the sticky layer with warm water. For quick results use this method up to twice a day.
Pink water

There is no need to dilute this product with any other ingredients. Rose water applied to the face immediately before bed - it will slow down the aging process and tighten pores. But if you still want to prepare a complex recipe, you can add a teaspoon of hazel and lemon juice, as well as a few drops of almond oil.
Cinnamon
This natural product helps to naturally increase collagen levels in the body. So if you want more elastic skin, use cinnamon. But applying the powder to your face pure form If it doesn’t work, first you need to prepare a mask. 
Take a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and mix it with an equal amount of turmeric. To make the mixture paste-like, add a little olive oil to it. This mask can already be applied directly to the skin. After the procedure, it is advisable to wipe the skin with sugar and only then rinse it with water.
Fulling clay
Most people are not familiar with this remedy. Hundreds of years ago, textile workers used felting clay to remove stains from woolen clothing. The product is currently used to treat the skin as it draws out harmful oxidants from the skin and improves blood flow. 
Felting clay is sold in powder form, so it must be mixed with water before use. If desired, you can also dilute the product with rose water, killing two birds with one stone. The paste is left on the skin until it dries. Wash it off with water at room temperature.
Strawberry

To use strawberries for cosmetic purposes, puree the fruit. Then take two teaspoons each of honey and kefir and add them to the paste. Apply the mask to the skin for 5 minutes, then rinse off. You can use this method every day, although winter time it will cost a little more.
anonymous, Female, 48 years old
Hello! I am 49 years old, weight 53, height 162. My figure is an “inverted triangle”, outwardly I look thin, very thin hands and legs, a flat butt and a very large back with deposits. My job is sedentary, but for 6 years now I have been doing sports 4 times a week (2 times Zumba fitness, fitness and swimming in all styles). I do the “plank” every day for 2 minutes. The food is healthy (oatmeal, chicken breasts, fish and lots of vegetables and fruits). During this time, I lost weight from 58 kg to 53 kg, but my back did not change at all. I can't figure out if it's fat or weak muscles? Everyone says that only with the help of the gym can my back be changed. But I don’t want and I have no desire to go lift iron at almost 50 years old. Are there any other options? If there were no sports in my life and proper nutrition, I I wouldn’t even ask this question. So I can’t understand what I’m doing wrong?

Hello! First of all, there is the individual constitution, genetically determined. Within the framework of the constitution, everyone must find their optimal body structure. If you have broad shoulders, then the proportions of your figure can be slightly changed by increasing the volume of your buttocks, which is only possible with squats and deadlifts in the gym. Specifically, it is possible for you to reduce fat deposits in the back area. To do this you need: 1. Switch to a low-carbohydrate and periodically low-carbohydrate diet. A lot of vegetables and fruits, especially sweet fruits, are not good for weight loss. Fructose is metabolized directly into fat. Eat a moderate amount of vegetables, mostly greens and few fruits (1 apple, 1 tangerine, 1 kiwi per day, for example). The basis of food for you is lean meats and fish, eggs, nuts. Carbohydrates - only from oatmeal and buckwheat porridge, exclude potatoes and rice. 2. Introduce aerobic training into the program (possibly instead of Zumba), at least 2 times a week, 45-60 minutes, at 70% of the maximum heart rate, with 3 accelerations up to 90% and immediately back to the base heart rate 3. 2 times a week - squats with a barbell to the floor. Unlearn correct technique, 8 times with the maximum possible weight for 5 sets, but start with one set and light weight. You will love it, no matter your age, especially when you see the results! You are doing everything right, but dancing is not a purely aerobic exercise; most often mixed, lactate is released, which inhibits fat burning. You need a long, constant load that triggers the aerobic pathway of fat breakdown. Plus, there is a lack of strength exercises that stimulate the release of testosterone, which gives the body “strength.” An excess of raw vegetables and fruits leads to increased exposure to “cold” and “damp” energy, which affects the structure of the body. Fat is cold. Food for you should be energy rich and small in volume. Good luck!

The most important evil in the world is women's magazines and transfers. Don't you think so?
Okay, maybe not exactly the very best, but they are all clearly burning somewhere in the outer circles of hell, that’s for sure. What do they promise us?“Lose 10 kg in 2 weeks!”, “look 5 years younger in 10 days!”, “foods with negative calories” - and a bunch of other junk that catches the eye, generating in the brain hope for a miracle.
For some reason, I thought that no one believed in these promises for a long time... But after all, magazines appear on shop windows every month, and programs go on air - which means there is a demand. All these myths somehow take root in people’s brains and are passed on from generation to generation (such as “don’t eat after 6!”), preventing you from opening your eyes and believing that the truth is inherent in absolutely opposite.
1) To lose weight, you need to eat less...
Come to think of it - it sounds logical. Get few calories, but spend a lot. The only catch is that the body is many times more cunning than us and will not allow itself to be deceived. Fasting will not lead to high-quality weight loss, but to a subsequent gain of fat mass. Why? But because the body makes reserves. It's a hunger strike! Yes, at first a person will, of course, lose weight, but this will happen due to burned muscles and drainage of water. This is probably the most difficult thing to convey to people... This is where all the “skinny fat” comes from - it seems like the girl is thin and eats only a salad, but in reality she has a loose body under her clothes. The real key to long-term success is getting your daily calorie intake from clean foods and strength training.
2) ... and run more.
Aerobic exercise burns calories the moment you stand on the treadmill. Let's say you worked out and burned 600-800 calories. This is all good, of course, but the real jackpot is the calories that will be burned with your muscles during the recovery period after strength training. For example, after training large group muscles (for example, legs) - this process can take up to 48 hours. In this case, the total costs may be 2000 kcal (unless, of course, you
hack).
3) Metabolism accelerates if availableoftenAndin small portions
There is still a lot of controversy about this theory. I think that first you need to find out exactly what portion is small :) When I first started weighing my food, it was a shock to me how small it really is - 100g. What I thought was 100g turned out to be actually 200, or even more. So it may seem that “we often eat small portions,” but in reality there is nothing like that. In general, the best way to speed up metabolism is, of course, those mentioned above
*photo from here
After all, what is metabolism? This is the process of converting consumed food into energy for life. You've probably heard that there is such a thing as basal metabolism- energy for a state of rest, i.e. the amount of calories we need if we just lie still. There are two more types of metabolism: active (energy from physical activity) and digestive. So, about 80% of energy costs go to the first and third. What does strength training do? They increase muscle mass, whereby the body becomes necessary more energy to maintain it - and basic metabolism increases. Roughly speaking, you sleep - and your body, at the same time, burns more calories than before. Isn't it beautiful? :))
4) From strength training you will turn into a man!
Well, beauty - but not really, because no one believes it! Eh, I wanted to include this complete absurdity here, although it has already been written everywhere 100 times :) In the eyes of the glaring majority, a woman after the gym looks something like this:
I also took this example light- so as not to scare you with “horror stories” :) But beliv mi - rocking 3 times a week for a toned, athletic figure and bodybuilding are a difference of millions of light years. Millions! Here you can eat by the hour, constantly count calories by gram, drying, pumping - everything that we, amateurs, have never dreamed of. So don’t be afraid of training with weights, it’s impossible for a girl to “pump” anything by chance;)
5) For beautiful figure you need to eat vegetables, fruits and juices
See point 1. Yes, all this is very pleasant and refreshing - but we won’t gain the daily calorie intake this way, not to mention balance of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. That’s why girls first eat like this, saying, “Oh, I’m never hungry, I always fill up on my salad!” Yes, yes, the body has had enough of the minimum and is more likely to store fat, because... They won’t let you eat at home. This creates a constant “accordion” effect.
Isn’t it better not to rush to extremes with such “Hollywood” diets, but simply eat your norm, fill it up with “clean” foods, and always keep yourself in the same shape, plus periodically improve it slowly but surely?
