It is characterized by a loss of firmness, fine lines, sagging of the facial contour, and a dull complexion. Scientific studies have shown that the key factors are a decrease in collagen, a loss of elastin, and deterioration of the skin barrier. In this article, we will examine evidence-based ingredients that can improve the appearance and texture of the skin, according to clinical publications.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ti-einai\">Facial Sagging: What Happens to the Skin<\/h2>\n<p>As time goes by, production decreases <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Collagen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">collagen<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Elastin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">elastin<\/a>, causing the skin to lose its firmness.
