As you age, the production of collagen slows and elastin begins to deteriorate, causing your skin to sag. While there are many ways to prevent sagging skin, like eating a nutrient-rich diet, one of the best ways to firm, lift and plump the skin is with topical skincare products. Here are 5 cheap and natural skin-firming products you'll want to have on deck for tighter, more youthful skin.
Lush Lovely Jubblies Breast Cream
Aging, pregnancy, and weight gain can all affect the fat tissues in your breast, causing them to lose its firmness. Lush's Lovely Jubblies works to keep your tatas perky. Organic almond oil, beeswax, jojoba oil are just a few ingredients in this breast cream. "One of the biggest secrets behind the use of almond oil for skin treatments is the high level of fatty acids contained in the final oil mixture," The Dermatology Review reports. "Fatty acids serve as a natural emollient for the skin, and can help the skin lock in moisture by forming a protective barrier."
