Your friendly salon beautician advises you monthly facial once you hit 30 to keep away wrinkles, fine lines, and most importantly to prevent sagging skin on your face. When you look closely in the mirror under hard light you can actually spot signs of skin ageing very easily. It is but a natural progression.
But instead of taking your beautician’s advise of falling into a monthly facial cycle at the parlour and blowing up money, how about some easy natural remedies to stop skin ageing that can be done from the comfort of your home? The results are certainly better and the procedure cost effective.
We suggest some very easy ways to prevent sagging skin on your face before time, and retaining a healthy, soft glow.
