    Help for drooping facial skin
    Who knows of an incrediable product that will really fill in lines and also lift droopy mouth corners and saggy cheeks that droop towards mouth.
    Does anything really work that comes in a container??

    As a person ages, skin cells divide more slowly, and the inner skin, or dermis, starts to thin. Fat cells beneath the dermis begin to atrophy, and the underlying network of elastin and collagen fibres, which provides scaffolding for the surface layers, loosens and unravels. Skin loses its elasticity; when pressed, it no longer springs back to its initial position but instead sags and forms furrows.

    The skin's sagging and drooping are caused by four major factors:

    1. Deteriorated collagen and elastin (due primarily to sun damage);
    2. Depletion of the skin's fat layer (a factor of genetic aging and gravity);
    3. Repetitive facial movement (particularly true for the forehead frown lines and for smile lines from the nose to the mouth);
    4. Muscle sagging due to the loosening of facial ligaments that hold the muscles in place.

    Skin creams can help improve the appearance of your skin, however, it will not get rid of the drooping and wrinkles. Only plastic surgery can alter features to balance out the face and bring it a more youthful look. Surgeons will do a procedure known as "Rhytidectomy," commonly called a facelift, this surgical procedure is done to eliminate the sagging, drooping, and wrinkled skin of the face and neck. But if you can't afford to have the procedure done. Facial exercises and a daily skin care routine can also improve the condition of the skin.
