7 supercharged products to stop sagging skin
Powerhouse ingredients make these must-haves worthy of some shelf space.
If you’re looking to stop sagging skin, good news: there are so many different products that can help. The key? Formulas that are rich in antioxidants, the free-radical fighting compounds that also help firm, brighten, and protect your (gorgeous...hello!) complexion.
And then there are the products (and tools) that help to stimulate collagen production, which is what depletes and causes sagging skin in the first place.
Make these strategic upgrades to your routine with these quick tips and skincare reccs that’ll firm things up — and stop sagging skin in its tracks — from head to toe in no time.
Olay
Tap on an amazing eye cream
Applying your eye cream is an excellent first step post-wash because it helps protect the delicate eye area from any harsher products you may apply on the rest of your skin. Olay Eyes Ultimate Eye Cream ($30) is a true wunderkind that’s loaded with collagen-boosting peptides, brightening vitamin B3, and pigments for a smooth finish.
Dermalogica
Reach for a targeted serum
Although you could pile on several serums, finding one that takes care of a few issues is far more efficient — and avoids any potential layering mistakes that could happen when you play with your skincare. Enter Dermalogica Phyto-Nature Firming Serum ($145), whose dual-phase formulation protects skin from a slew of environmental aggressors while also keeping things tight.
IT Cosmetics
Don’t forget about the neck
Concerned about your neck looking less than firm? IT Cosmetics Confidence in a Neck Cream Anti-Aging Moisturizer ($52) has earned legions of fans for its temporary (but totally legit!) tightening effects and its ability to actually reduce the appearance of those pesky horizontal necklines with strategically mixed-in pigments. The light citrusy scent happens to be a total mood booster, too.
Daily Concepts
Smooth & sculpt it all
Finish your routine off with a tool designed to not only help increase the absorption of all those good-for-your-skin serums and creams, but also helps to firm and lift skin immediately — appearance wise, at least. By pressing the Daily Concepts Gua Sha Facial Jade Tool ($16) against your face and neck in sweeping, upwards motions, you’ll instantly have a more radiant and plump complexion.
Kinship
During the day, top it off with SPF
SPF is a non-negotiable for everyone, especially because skin will sag with increased exposure. Kinship Self Reflect Probiotic Moisturizing Sunscreen Zinc Oxide SPF 32 ($25) protects your skin from the sun’s rays with blocker zinc oxide, and also safeguards the delicate balance of your skin’s microbiome thanks to a shot of probiotics. Plus, it’s one of the few mineral sunscreens that doesn’t leave a white cast typical of ingredients like zinc.
Crepe Erase
Body treatment
Crepe Erase Body Smoothing Trio ($65) is an exfoliating and hydrating trio that takes care of everything below the neck. First, AHAs and BHAs remove dullness and stimulate collagen production. Then, the oil-rich cream seals in moisture and leaves you with visibly plump and seriously smoother skin.
Ora Organic
Sip a collagen drink
Think of Ora Organic Aloe Beauty Vegan Collagen Booster ($35) the way you think of your morning ritual or skincare routine: straight-up non-negotiable. By adding this clean, vegan beauty powder to your daily smoothies, tea, or coffee, you’re helping to fight sagging skin from the inside out. It replenishes your body’s collagen reserves — like a super supportive bra but for your skin.
