What is Poor Skin Elasticity?
Your skin's elasticity refers to its ability to stretch, and return to its original shape. This is because of two of your skin's primary proteins, including collagen and elastin. These two key proteins are responsible for a "youthful" skin appearance, and decrease with age. Which is why, this is a key factor behind reduced skin elasticity.

What are the Causes Behind Poor Skin Elasticity?
If you find yourself wondering the cause of poor elasticity, there’s no “one size fits all”. It’s important to consider what's behind the skin condition before taking the steps to address it. By doing so, you can personalise your skincare to meet your needs.
Explore the causes of loose skin:
- ageing: At the age of 25, your collagen decreases every year by 1%. Which is why an anti ageing skincare routine is recommended, as the skin is more saggy and less resilient.
- Sun Exposure: The Australian sun is particularly harsh, which causes the premature acceleration of the skin’s photoageing process. This is because UV radiation results in the breakdown of the protein elastin.
- Lifestyle Factors: Poor day-to-day habits can be a major contributor in weak or reduced skin elasticity. Recreational habits like smoking damages your skin's proteins, while a poor diet deprives the skin of key nutrients.
- Weight Fluctuations: When major weight loss occurs, especially when it's fast, the skin's proteins break down prematurely. This is because too much pressure is put on the skin's elastic fibres.
In the Know: The Different Types of Reduced Skin Elasticity
When it comes to loose or sagging skin, this can take form in many types of ways. By pinpointing the type of elasticity your skin has, it can help you to decide on the right skincare steps. Helping you to achieve your different skincare goals.

This common sign is a very early indicator of gradually declining elasticity. It often occurs as a result of repeated muscle movement, deepening into established wrinkles. Some common areas these occur in include around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
Given the skin's naturally occurring ageing process, the key proteins collagen and elastin break down and deplete. This then results in less volume in the cheeks, less defined contouring, as well as a softening jawline.
When the skin's fundamental proteins are lost, it loses structured support. This lack of skin density causes a thin skin textured appearance. The crepey skin is commonly found in areas like the neck, inner arms and the eyes.
Otherwise known as gravitational folds, these wrinkles occur when there's a loss of skin elasticity over time. This is because it causes the face to lose its structural integrity, allowing gravity to pull the skin downwards.

Build a Skin System: Step by Step Routine to Strengthen Elasticity
If you're wondering how to tighten the skin on the face, a simple-structured routine can help. Approach skin elasticity by carefully selecting your skincare products. Wondering how to tighten neck skin? We advise also applying every step to your neck.
Here's how to aid skin elasticity:
1. Cleanse Your Skin Gently
Wash your face with a gentle, hydrating cleanser every day. By doing so, you'll remove impurities that have built up over the day, and not compromise your skin's barrier. Keeping your skin clean and more firm in appearance.
2. Exfoliate Skin Impurities (2-3/weekly)
Use a non-abrasive, gentle exfoliator to remove skin impurities deeply. This ranges from dead skin cells, to excess sebum production. By exfoliating a few times a week, it stimulates the cellular renewal process and helps treatments penetrate the skin.
3. Targeted Serum
Apply a serum containing collagen stimulating actives daily. This skincare product has a higher active concentration for a more targeted approach. This promotes the cell turnover process to improve the appearance of loose skin.
4. Skin Firming Cream
Promote a supple, radiant appearance by moisturising your skin daily. Acting as the final step in your skincare routine, it helps to seal in the ingredients applied. The skin tightening cream also provides deep hydration for a firmer appearance.
5. Strictly Apply SPF 50+
Since the sun is the leading cause of ageing, applying sunscreen daily is a must. For comprehensive protection against UVA and UVB rays, opt for a broad spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 50. Our Active Protect SPF 50+ is the perfect make-up friendly addition to your routine.
