Can moisturizing with a body lotion prevent saggy skin?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I moisturize my face and do skincare on my face to prevent aging as best as possible. Does moisturizing your body with a lotion prevent saggy skin as you age?
Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I understand your concern.
Yes, moisturizing our skin daily in the morning and night with anti-aging creams can help prevent sagging. However, sagging of the skin also occurs due to excessive smoking, obesity, exposure to sun rays, alcohol, use of harsh chemical products on the skin, and lastly sudden weight loss.
As a treatment strategy, I suggest you follow these:
1. Keep your skin hydrated and apply moisturizer twice a day.
2. Take multivitamins, zinc tablets, and vitamins C, E, and A.
3. Use vitamin C serum to keep the freshness and elasticity of the skin.
4. Do not wash your face more than two times, as it disrupts the pH of the skin and causes dryness.
5. Laser skin tightening, effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and loose skin for a smoother and more youthful appearance.
I hope this helps you.
