The Road to Firm, Tight Skin
Through our 20s, some of us have skin that still looks good after a trip, a junk food-filled movie marathon, or a girls' night out that ends…well, in the morning. That's because at this age, the body is producing high amounts of elastin and collagen (the skin's supportive connective tissue), which is why youthful skin appears so flexible, firm, and full of volume.
But once you enter your 30s, you might start to notice signs of aging: lines, slight sunspots, and skin that's not quite as tight as it used to be. Several factors are responsible for making your once-supple skin droopy, namely decreased collagen and elastin production, and environmental factors like sun damage. This means that you'll eventually be looking for information on how to tighten loose skin.
Nathalie Issachar, PhD, Global Director of Product Development at Clarins, notes that your 30s are the time to prevent early signs of aging by using products with both skin firming and skin rejuvenation benefits. Clarins has a collection of creams that offer just that. It's called The Extra-Firming Collection and it delivers firming, anti-wrinkle, and moisturizing benefits, and also works to make your complexion more even, while also tightening your loose skin.
When tested on 77 women for immediate results, 100 percent said they saw smoother skin and 86 percent found their skin was firmer. Four weeks later, 80 percent noticed that their skin was more elastic and 73 percent reported that they felt their skin looked less fatigued1. These are the results that skin care dreams are made of.
To get the most out of your skin care and skin firming routine, make yourself familiar with the Clarins Touch. Different products have their own application methods, and the Clarins Touch is carefully designed to maximize the effect of each and every Clarins product.
