Why Does Skin Sag?

Facial sagging happens mainly due to aging-related changes in skin, fat, muscle, and bone. Here's a breakdown of the main causes:

1. Loss of collagen and elastin: These proteins give skin its firmness and elasticity. As you age, production slows down, leading to thinner, looser skin.
2. Decreased fat volume: Facial fat pads shrink and shift downward, especially in the cheeks and under the eyes, causing hollow areas and sagging.
3. Muscle weakening: Facial muscles lose tone, which contributes to a drooping appearance.
4. Bone resorption: Facial bones (especially around the eyes, cheeks, and jaw) lose volume and structure with age, giving less support to overlying tissue.
5. Gravity: Over time, gravity pulls down on the softened tissues, deepening lines and causing jowls or a droopy jawline.
6. Lifestyle factors: Sun exposure, smoking, poor nutrition, and lack of skincare can speed up skin aging and sagging.

The right skincare routine can fight back.

Weekly Way 8: Gua Sha for Sculpted Lift

Gua sha promotes skin vitality by enhancing circulation and encouraging lymphatic flow, which helps reduce puffiness and create a naturally lifted, sculpted look. With regular use, this gentle, time-honored technique can improve skin tone, release facial tension, and support a radiant, healthy glow—rooted in holistic beauty rituals that honor the power of touch and nature.

How to Use Gua Sha for Glowing, Sculpted Skin

1. Start with clean, moisturized skin.
   Apply a few drops of Pure Fiji’s Exotic Face Oil to provide the perfect glide—hydrating, nourishing, and rich in tropical plant power.
   
2. Hold your gua sha tool at a 15-degree angle.
   Keep it almost flat against your skin to avoid unnecessary tugging.
   
3. Use gentle, upward strokes.
   Start at the center of your face and glide outwards—across the cheeks, along the jawline, and over the brow. Repeat each stroke 3–5 times.
   
4. Don’t forget the neck.
   Sweep downward along the sides to encourage lymphatic drainage, then upward at the front to promote lift.
   
5. Clean your tool after each use.
   A quick rinse and dry will keep it fresh and ready for your next ritual.
   

Tip: For glowing results, repeat this ritual 3–5 times per week. Each session takes just 5–10 minutes—an island-inspired moment of self-care your skin will thank you for.

This gua sha practice boosts firmness. It’s a simple sculpting ritual.

The Lifestyle Lift Way 9: Everyday Habits for Lasting Firmness

Skin care starts from within—and your daily habits play a powerful role in how firm and lifted your face looks over time. Consider these holistic lifestyle upgrades:

• Hydrate generously. Skin that's well-hydrated from the inside out stays plumper and more elastic.
  
• Prioritize protein and healthy fats. Collagen-building amino acids and omega-3s support skin structure and firmness.
  
• Get consistent sleep. Deep rest supports skin repair and reduces cortisol, which can break down collagen.
  
• Limit sugar and alcohol. Both contribute to glycation and inflammation, which accelerate sagging.
  
• Wear SPF daily—even indoors. UV rays are the #1 external cause of collagen breakdown.
  
• Stay active. Movement improves circulation, delivering nutrients that keep skin vibrant.
  
• Manage stress. Chronic stress weakens the skin barrier and speeds aging. Rituals like gua sha and deep breathing help.

These practices don’t require perfection—just intention. Treat your skin from the inside out, and your skincare routine becomes eve
