Sagging skin on the face and neck is one of the earliest signs of aging. It often reduces facial firmness and affects confidence, even at a younger age. Factors like collagen loss, dehydration, sun exposure, and reduced skin elasticity play a major role.
The good news is that natural, skin-type-specific remedies can help tighten skin, improve muscle tone, and restore firmness safely. These remedies work by stimulating collagen, improving blood circulation, and strengthening skin fibers—without chemicals or procedures.
Below are scientifically supported home remedies, customized by skin type, followed by a skin-lifting diet plan.
