The desire for firm and compact skin unites men and women, especially when the skin begins to show the first sagging.
The loss of skin tone is mainly due to a decrease in collagen and elastin, substances that guarantee firmness and elasticity to the skin.
The loss of collagen and elastin normally occurs with aging but can also be accelerated by other factors such as exposure to the sun's UV rays, pollution and even stress.
In the presence of sagging, the figure of the body becomes heavier, losing harmony and definition.
What is needed in these cases is a firming body cream, a specific treatment that allows the skin to regain tone and firmness.
What benefits can you get from using a firming body cream? Let's see them below.
Benefits of firming body creams
The firming body cream represents a must-have product during the summer for swimsuit testing, but also all year round, with the aim of making the skin toned and youthful.
The body firming cream has three main functions:
- hydrate the skin deeply , making it velvety and soft
- keep skin elastic , improve skin tension, with anti-aging effect
- improve the skin's resistance , making it less susceptible to environmental damage
Body firming treatments contain active ingredients in restoring skin tone and elasticity.
Among these are triglycerides, which are able to "restructure" the hydrolipidic film, nourishing and protecting the skin and giving firmness and elasticity.
Another active ingredient in combating skin laxity is macadamia oil which, having a composition similar to that of the skin, is easily assimilated, providing nourishment and hydration. Macadamia oil, rich in vitamins and sterols, has hydrating and anti-aging properties.
Kigelia Africana extract , rich in flavonoids and phytosterols, has anti-free radical, hydrating, firming and microcirculation stimulating properties.
Other ingredients effective in toning the skin are antioxidants such as vitamins C and E, which once absorbed by the skin can stimulate the production of collagen.
Elastin , as the name suggests, has elasticizing properties and prevents the aging process.
The active ingredients present in firming body creams work in synergy, giving new elasticity and tone to the skin over time.
Use of firming body creams
Firming body creams should be used on a daily basis , for example once in the morning and once in the evening , but use may vary based on personal needs.
You can apply a small amount of product on clean, dry skin locally in critical areas and massage carefully until completely absorbed.
