What causes loose facial skin?
As we get older our facial muscles get weaker, and our skin begins to sag thanks, largely, to gravity. The areas to suffer most from this sagging are the cheeks, around the eyes, the brows and the neck.
Facial aging is determined by genetics and influenced by things like too much sun, smoking, weight fluctuations and the stresses of daily life.
Toning the face is an easy and important part of the beauty regime to keep wrinkles at bay and available at your local salon providing Totalcare treatments.
Besides softening the skin, toning also stimulates blood flow and removes dead skin. Facial toning is also known to tighten certain skin tissues that can go flabby and give the face a worn-out look.
Toning can counteract:
- Decreased circulation – With age, the number and size of the capillaries supplying oxygen and other vital nutrients to the skin decrease which causes the cells to gradually break down.
- Muscle atrophy - Sagging jowls, hollow cheeks, eye orbits and double chin are all signs of muscle atrophy. The supportive connective tissue attaching the muscle to skin breaks down and gravity forces the skin to droop, fold and wrinkle.
- Expression patterns - Repeated expressions result in a strengthening and shortening of contractive muscles and a weakening and stretching of the distended muscles to form wrinkles and creases.
- Environment - Dark blotches, abnormal growths and cell abnormalities cause our skin to look older and more worn.
Toning your facial muscles will have a dramatic effect – make an appointment at your local salon providing Totalcare treatments today.

This is a programme of light therapy that uses different light colours that react with the cytochromes (the parts of the cells that respond to light and colour) in the body. When cytochromes are activated their energy levels go up and that stimulates tissue growth to dramatically improve skin tone.
