The skin protects our organs and keeps us safe from all possible external dangers. Also, the way our skin looks is a reflection of our overall health. The healthier the skin looks, the healthier we are on the whole.

An important organ like the skin requires all the protection that it can get from us. Unfortunately, as we age, our skin starts showing signs of degradation and aging. Dryness, fine lines, wrinkles, loss of elasticity, and dark spots are classic symptoms of aging.

Thankfully, there are some simple home remedies. A skin tightening face pack is a classic example. In fact, once you turn 30, it is highly advised to start following a strict skincare regime supplemented by a good skin tightening face pack.

Now before we dive deep into the details of each skin tightening face pack, let us find the answer to an important question.

What causes saggy skin?

The production of collagen under our skin starts reducing as we age. When the volume of collagen decreases, there is a direct impact on the firmness of the skin. Soon our skin starts to sag. Now, besides aging, some other factors that can affect the skin&#;s firmness include &#;

• The loss of facial fat.
• Sleep deprivation negatively affects the firmness of the skin. If you don&#;t sleep enough, your skin will be unable to carry out its natural replenishment process, which results in loose skin.
• Consuming alcohol and smoking tends to destroy your skin&#;s elasticity.
• UV rays can cause photoaging and result in photodamage of the skin. This, in turn, reduces the firmness of the skin.
• Pregnancy can also result in skin sagging and loss of elasticity.
• A sudden reduction in body weight can also lead to the sagging of the skin. It is best to lose body weight slowly and steadily.

Natural skin tightening face packs

Here are some tried and tested natural skin-tightening face packs that you can try from the comfort of your home &#;

1) Papaya face pack

There is a very special enzyme present in papaya called papain. It helps our body in removing skin impurities and diminish pigmentation. Papin, when used along with alpha-hydroxy acids, acts as a great exfoliant and removes dead and damaged skin cells. This makes way for glowing, supple, and soft skin. Papaya is also rich in antioxidants like lycopene, which reverses skin aging to a considerable extent.

Ingredients

• A cup of chopped raw papaya
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 tablespoon of lemon

Procedure : Mash the chopped papaya and add lemon juice and honey to it. Mix well until a paste is formed. Apply this paste on your skin and massage your skin. Keep the mask on for 30 minutes until it&#;s completely dry. Wash it off with lukewarm water.

2) Honey, lemon juice, and egg white face pack

This face pack offers numerous skin benefits and is widely used across the world. It&#;s common knowledge that when you are exposed to UV rays, the production of free radicals is triggered. There is an increase in the production of melanin, which darkens the skin. 

Now, lemon juice is rich in vitamin C, which fights and neutralizes free radicals. It slows down the signs of aging, including skin sagging. Albumin present in the egg white aids in tightening the skin pores. Honey removes the moisture in the skin and creates an antibacterial field to protect you from acne.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of honey
• One egg white
• 1 tablespoon of lemon juice

Procedure: Break the egg and extract egg white into a bowl. Beat the egg white thoroughly until it becomes fluffy. Then add the honey and lemon juice and mix it well until it forms a paste. Now apply this face mask and massage your skin for a minute or two. Let it rest for around 40 minutes before washing it off with cold water.

3) Aloe Vera skin tightening face pack

When it comes to the best natural ingredients to treat skin problems, aloe vera features a spot on the list. Aloe vera acts as a shield to protect your skin from various conditions, including skin sagging. It not only contains vitamins A and C but is also quite rich in antioxidants and water content. It soothes our skin and keeps it hydrated. Aloe vera also has anti-inflammatory properties that can help treat wounds, redness, burns, and irritation.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of aloe vera gel
• 1 egg white

Procedure : Beat the egg white in a bowl until it becomes fluffy. Now, add the aloe vera gel to the egg white and mix it well to form a smooth paste. Apply the paste to your neck and face. Let the mask dry for at least 40 minutes. Wash it off with water and pat dry your face with a clean towel. Apply this mask once every two days to get the best results.

4) Coconut oil

Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is known to prevent our skin from premature aging. Apart from that, coconut oil is also rich in fatty acids and Vitamin E, both of which promote skin healing and keeps the skin supple. The vitamin A present in coconut oil boosts the production of collagen and prevents fine lines and wrinkles.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of coconut oil
• 1 tablespoon of honey

Procedure: Add coconut oil and honey to a cup and mix them well until you get a paste. Massage your face and neck with the paste and leave it to dry for 40-50 minutes. Then rinse your face with lukewarm water. For best results, repeat the face pack once every week.

5) Oatmeal face pack

Oatmeal contains avenanthramides, which is an anti-inflammatory agent. It helps in soothing your skin from irritation and dryness. Oatmeal also reduces the appearance of acne and blackheads by exfoliating dead skin cells and paving the way for clear skin.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon oatmeal
• 1 tablespoon eggwhite

Procedure: Take 1 tablespoon of oatmeal and grind it well. Add them to a bowl along with egg white. Whisk it well to form a mixture. Apply this paste as a mask around your neck and face evenly. Allow it to dry for 30 minutes. Wash the mask away with cold water and pat your face dry.

6) Multani Mitti skin face mask

This is a traditional ingredient used for skin tightening. It&#;s been around and used for ages. This face mask can eliminate excess oil, remove impurities, cleanse, and nourish the skin. It is widely used for treating oily skin, tanning, acne, pigmentation, and blackheads. It can be combined with other ingredients like egg and curd to form a face mask and used for skin tightening.

Procedure: Add all 3 ingredients in a bowl and mix them well to form a paste. Apply this paste evenly on your face and neck. Gently massage. Let it sit on the skin for at least 40 minutes. Wash it later with lukewarm water.

7) Banana fruit face mask

Banana is rich in various vitamins like Vitamin A, Vitamin B6, potassium, and Vitamin C. They help in treating various skin-related problems. The fruits also contain antioxidants that help in fighting free radicals and protect the skin from environmental damage. The banana face mask easily brings a glow to your skin and lightens the skin&#;s complexion. It also moisturizes the skin and makes it supple.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon of yogurt
• 1 small banana

Procedure: Mash the banana in a bowl and add yogurt to it. Mix it to form a fine paste. Apply this paste to your face and neck and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Peel the mask off gently and rinse with cold water.

Exercises for skin tightening

Apart from the above face packs, you can also perform the below exercises to tighten your skin &#;

1. Brow Raiser: Bring your index and middle finger together. Place the fingers above the brows and push the skin up. Apply tension to your brows by pushing the fingers up and down. Repeat it 6 times.

1. Cheekbone lift: Place your palm and cover your cheekbone from the chin. Lift your skin gently and open your mouth to form an oval shape. Hold it for 5 seconds. Repeat the process for 15 sets.
2. Cheek squeeze:  Lift your head all the way back. Bring your chin forward. Make sure not to strain your neck. Make a fish face by sucking your cheek. Do not bite your tongue or lips. Repeat this procedure for 15 sets, with each set lasting 5 seconds.
3. Double chin workout: Tilt your face all the way back in a sitting or standing position. Touch your tongue to the roof of the mouth, holding your head still. There will be a slight pain in the neck due to contracting muscles. Let go and bring your chin slowly to its normal position. Repeat this process for 5 sets, with each set lasting 30 seconds.

Face skin tightening diet

Consume the below super foods to aid your skin tightening process &#;

1. Green Tea: The polyphenols and antioxidants present in green tea aid in fighting free radicals, thus bringing suppleness to the skin.
2. Olive oil: It regulates metabolism and reverses aging thanks to its heart-healthy fats. It also boosts thyroid function, aiding in further skin tightening.
3. Bright Vegetables: They have a lot of vitamin C, antioxidants, and carotenoids, all of which are skin de-aging agents.
4. Cucumber: It keeps your skin hydrated and nourishes it as it contains vitamins B, K, potassium, and copper
5. Citrus fruits: helps in boosting the production of collagen thanks to the high levels of vitamin C.

Professional skin tightening treatment for the face

Each of the above skin tightening face pack can give you amazing results, but it will take a long time to see any visible changes on your face. This is where skincare treatments like botox, fillers, laser skin resurfacing, and tissue tightening treatments help.

These treatments are safe, easy on the pockets, and, most importantly, they offer quick results. Dr. Renu Nair is one of the top dermatologists in Bangalore, offering all these treatments in her clinic. To book an appointment with her, click here.

If you curate the ingredients carefully, a DIY face mask can be the superfood smoothie of your skincare routine &#; it only takes a few minutes to whip up and the results are instantly glowing skin! Whether it&#;s a homemade face mask to control your oily skin or to deal with those pesky breakouts, there is a recipe out there for every skin concern.

If you are like us and are always in the quest for perfect skin, perhaps you have come across one or two DIY recipes on the Internet. But before you start mixing those lemons with egg whites, we advice you to proceed with caution. Not everything that is edible and natural is good for your skin. Thankfully, we have done the research so you don&#;t have to! We asked Dr. Jason Rivers, a world-renowned dermatologist and creator of Riversol Skincare, on his opinion of the benefit claims of some of the most common ingredients found in DIY face mask recipes.

We advise you to always do a patch test on a small area of the skin before you apply your mask concoction on the entire face. Although it may seem obvious, do avoid using any ingredients that are you are allergic to. For those with pre-existing skin problems or suffering from cold sores it is best to avoid using a homemade face mask altogether. Dr. Rivers recommends applying a face mask once or twice a week for best results. So let&#;s get started! 

1. Beauty Claim: To Hydrate the Skin & For Anti-Aging Benefits

Bananas

Besides being one of the most widely consumed fruits in the world, the humble bananas has many beauty benefits! Bananas are rich in vitamins and minerals that are crucial for healthy, glowing skin. According to Dr. Jason Rivers, &#;While the benefits of incorporating bananas into your diet are clear, putting it on your face is another story. The nutrients will not be able to penetrate the skin to make a visible difference.&#; That&#;s a pretty good reason to save your bananas for your morning smoothie instead of your next face mask. 

Coconut Oil & Olive Oil

There is a good reason oils have been used for centuries for their skin benefits. Besides being 100% natural, oils like coconut oil and olive oil are excellent for hydrating the skin. &#;These oils are safe to use, gentle on the skin and act as a barrier to water loss. In fact, coconut oils are incorporated into many cosmetic products to provide a moisturizing effect,&#; says Dr. Rivers. As an added bonus, oils are also very effective at removing even the most stubborn makeup. However, it is important to keep in mind that coconut oil and olive oil may not be the most suitable for you if you have oily, acne-prone skin. Instead, you might enjoy a dry oil such as grapeseed oil or rosehip oil.

2. Beauty Claim: To Brighten and Exfoliate the Skin

Yoghurt

&#;It can be beneficial as a face mask. The lactic acid in yoghurt can act as an exfoliant for the skin, since it is an alpha hydroxy acid,&#; explains Dr. Rivers. Similar to glycolic peels, lactic acid uses alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) to remove the dead cells from the surface of the skin and reveal fresh, glowing skin underneath. We cannot stress enough the importance of incorporating an exfoliant into your skincare routine. A well-formulated peel is scientifically proven to show improvement in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps reduce acne and blemishes, promote even skin tone and texture, remove blackheads, and removes excessive oil. Learn more about exfoliants here. 

Spices (e.g. Turmeric and Cinnamon)

Applying a DIY face mask with turmeric and cinnamon can be highly irritating to the skin, Dr. Rivers warned. Instead, add spices to your meals, as its health benefits are well-documented.

Salt and Sugar

&#;Salt and sugar can certainly exfoliate,&#; Dr. Rivers said, &#;but these are better used for the body or lips as the sharp edges of the salt and sugar crystals can cause micro-tears in the surface of your skin.&#; He suggests mixing salt and sugar with your favorite oil to make an easy lip and body scrub. Just be mindful to be extra gentle when massaging it on your lips and skin.

Baking Soda

Baking soda is a household multi-tasking wonder that can be used for many things from cleaning the kitchen counters, deodorizing the fridge to brushing your teeth. What about the claim that it can even be used as a fine scrub to brighten the skin? &#;It is true that baking soda can act as an exfoliant and may have antibacterial and brightening properties,&#; says Dr. Rivers. That&#;s another one added to baking soda&#;s long list of uses.

3. Beauty Claim: To Treat Pimples, Tighten Pores, Reduce Blackheads, and For Anti-Bacterial Benefits

Citrus (e.g. Lemons, Apple Cider Vinegar)

A lot of face mask recipes in the Internet intended for oily skin, dark spots, acne and blemishes often call for a citrus fruit. &#;Although these can exfoliate the skin through AHA and provide a brightening effect,&#; says Dr. Rivers, &#;it can also be very irritating to the skin.&#; Basically, lemons are better left to add a citrus twist to your cocktails than to your DIY face mask. To learn more about how to effectively deal with oily skin and blemishes, read our Q&A with Dr. Rivers. 

Crushed Aspirin Paste

This is a popular quick-fix skincare hack to treat pimples in a pinch &#; but does it really work? According to Dr. Rivers, &#;While aspirin does contain salicylic acid, also known as beta hydroxy acids, it is not in a form that is a good treatment for acne.&#; If you have a sudden, unsightly pimple and an event to attend in less than 24 hours away, Dr. Rivers advises to apply a hot compress and topical hydrocortisone that you can buy over the counter at the drugstore. We highly advise reading our article on how to get rid of acne for a long-term effective solution. 

Honey

&#;Honey is anti-bacterial,&#; explains Dr. Rivers, &#;but the effects on acne is questionable.&#; Again, you will save time and get much better results using anti-acne products that are found in drugstores or your dermatologist&#;s office. 

Egg Whites

The use of egg white in skincare is gaining popularity due to its supposed beauty benefits, particularly to shrink pores by tightening the skin. &#;Applying egg whites on your face can feel like it is tightening the skin,&#; says Dr. Rivers, &#;but it is mostly because of its drying effect.&#; In short, there is no real long-term benefit of using egg whites.

4. Beauty Claim: To Get Rid of Dark Under-eye Circles and Reduce Puffiness

Tea Bags

Did you ever wake up with puffy eyes? Today research has shown that your morning tea can also act as an effective eye de-puffer. According to Dr. Rivers, putting cooled tea bags over your eyes for 15-20 minutes can help reduce the swelling. This is because tea is rich in tannins, antioxidants and caffeine &#; all natural superstars that can give you the appearance of well-rested, youthful eyes! But there is no great way to reduce dark circles at home, Dr. Rivers said. Your best bet for a long-term solution will be at the dermatologist&#;s office.

Cucumbers

This beauty tip has been around for years, but we wondered if it actually works? Once again, we turned to Dr. Rivers to break down the science behind this old-age remedy. &#;Putting chilled slices of cucumbers on your eyes can be soothing,&#; says Dr. Rivers, &#;like tea, cucumbers contain anti-oxidants that may help reduce inflammation and swelling.&#;

5. Beauty Claim: To Hydrate, Reduce Itching & Regulate Inflammation

Oatmeal

Besides being one of the healthiest breakfast meals, there is enough science to back up the popularity of oatmeal as a soothing ingredient for sensitive skin. &#;It is well-documented that oatmeal contains anti-inflammatory properties that can help relieve itchy, dry and irritated skin,&#; explains Dr. Rivers. 

Aloe

&#;Like oatmeal, aloe is soothing and anti-inflammatory,&#; says Dr. Rivers, &#;but to get the full benefits, you need to use fresh aloe.&#; Perhaps, it is a good idea to have an aloe vera plant around the home to provide an instant relief for skin emergencies like minor burns and insect bites. Not only is it easy to take care of, aloe plants also add a fresh, modern look to your space.

Conclusion

While a few natural ingredients we discussed here are scientifically proven to be great temporary solutions for minor skin concerns, we still recommend choosing a well-formulated, dermatologist-developed drugstore or cosmeceutical mask because these undergo certain tests to meet strict regulations. This is particularly important if you have sensitive and reactive skin that is prone to irritation.

That said, the purpose of face masks, whether homemade or store-bought, is not just for their skin benefits but also to help you relax and unwind. After all, studies have shown that the secret to glowing skin is a stress-free life! So there you go, set aside some &#;me&#; time this week for a pampering spa session at home &#; put on your favorite face mask, draw a warm bath, pour a little glass of red wine and leave with radiant, glowing skin!
